Night Stalker
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Keeper of the Light
* Keeper of the Light's 
Aghanim's Scepter upgrade loses much of its power, due to Night Stalker being able to reduce the duration of daytime by a lot.
Additional:
* 
Crippling Fear prevents Keeper of the Light from using his spells to keep his team alive during team-fights.
* 
Dark Ascension is very strong against Keeper of the Light, as it allows Night Stalker to jump the backline and quickly kill the squishy Ezalor, especially when combined with the slow from 
Void.
Pudge
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 28%)Bane

Rupture.
Rubick
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 22%)Bane
* Fiend's Grip is a powerful but channeled ability, making it useful and easy to 
Spell Steal and interrupt with 
Telekinesis.

[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 15%)Keeper of the Light

* 
Global Silence is a guaranteed lengthy silence which will render Ezalor useless in a teamfight.
* 
Arcane Curse and 
Last Word are good against any caster, since they are extremely potent.
* However, it should be worth mentioning that a smart Ezalor will buy Eul's Scepter of Divinity to dispel Silencer's abilities. Combined with the level 20 talent (Chakra Magic applies a basic dispel), Ezalor can purge Silencer's abilities off allies and himself alike.
Bane

Luna
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 4%)Bane

Lucent Beam and 0.25 Eclipse Mini-stun talent for 
Eclipse can be used to disable Bane while he is channeling Fiend's Grip.

Medusa
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 2%)Bane

Time Walk's mobility very unreliable.
Wraith King

Timbersaw
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 4%)Bane
* 
Brain Sap's pure damage ignores stacks of Reactive Armor.
* Nightmare prevents Timbersaw from using Timber Chain, setting him up for chain stuns and burst damage.
* Enfeeble highly reduces regeneration granted by reactive armor.
* Fiend's Grip immobilizes Timbersaw and drains his low mana pool, preventing escape afterwards. It also pierces Black King Bar.

* Fiend's Grip enables Bane to completely take Shadow Fiend out of a fight and potentially even kill him, even through Black King Bar.

* Heroes with channeling abilities: Enigma, Witch Doctor, Crystal Maiden.
Keeper of the Light

Brewmaster
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 2%)Bane

Aghanim's Shard upgraded Brain Sap and by farming 
Mjollnir, although it can be hard to play Bane as carry and farm Mjollnir on him.
* However, bear in mind that illusions from 
Conjure Image have different colors than other illusions which can be seen even by enemy team, and that can make it easy for Bane to detect real Terrorblade unless Terrorblade buys 
Manta Style.

Lich
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 10%)Bane

Anti-Mage
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 8%)Keeper of the Light
* Being an intelligence caster hero, Ezalor usually has a high mana pool and low health and armor, making him a prime target for 
Mana Void
* Ezalor's Illuminate damage and Solar Bind's magic resistance reduction are greatly reduced thanks to 
Counterspell. Counterspell can also block and reflect Solar Bind if timed properly.
* Anti-Mage usually is not hampered by Solar Bind or Will-O-Wisp thanks to 
Blink.
* However, despite all of this, if Keeper of the Light is played carefully and tops off his team's mana at all times, Anti Mage will not be able to get off a good Mana Void.
Keeper of the Light
* Keeper of the Light can stall pushes with Illuminate. This makes him strong against pushing heroes: Terrorblade Naga siren Nature's Prophet and Anti-Mage
Bane
* Fiend's Grip prevents Anti-Mage from Blinking away or using Manta Style. It also pierces spell immunity.
* Nightmare sets Bane's team up for chain disables on Anti-Mage.

[wiki] rating: -0.2 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 17%)Keeper of the Light
* Juggernaut's 
Healing Ward keeps his team healthy even when pushing against Keeper of the Light's Illuminate.
* Blade Fury can dispel Blinding Light, as well as dodge an incoming Illuminate. Juggernaut can attack towers during Blade Fury, so he can dodge an Illuminate without having to stop pushing.

Blade Fury.
