How to Counter Mirage

Mirage typically greatly benefits from Mystic Regeneration in lane, so buying items with strong sources of static damage such as Headshot Booster or Mystic Shot can help mitigate the healing.
Since the majority of Mirage's damage comes from Djinn's Mark, look for all-ins with items like Majestic Leap or look for large flanks from the side or from behind!
As always, Silence Wave is a great way to initiate and disallows Mirage to use Tornado.
