[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 3%)Enchantress
* Enchantress often has a small army of neutral creeps, allowing Medusa to hit her with a later bounce of her Mystic Snake.
* Untouchable is ignored by secondary attacks from Split Shot.
Bloodseeker
* Mana Shield makes it very difficult for Bloodseeker to gain his Thirst bonuses.
* Rupture rarely kills Medusa through Mana Shield.
Razor
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 4%)Bloodseeker
* Heroes that rely on right-clicks will find themselves unable to damage opponents seriously after being affected by Static Link, like Sven,
Bloodseeker, and
Juggernaut.
Enchantress
* Static Link 's damage instants fully ignore Untouchable, combine with
Eye of the storm and high movement speed compare to Enchantress with no mobility, Razor can easily take away her squishy health pool.

[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 5%)Bloodseeker
* Heroes with illusion and clone abilities may confuse Bloodseeker, causing him to waste time in fights: Phantom Lancer,
Chaos Knight,
Arc Warden
Enchantress
* Magnetic Field makes Impetus miss; if Enchantress decides to enter the field, she is giving up bonus damage since Impetus deals greater damage at higher distance away from targets.
Tinker
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 7%)Bloodseeker
* Laser can be very effective against Bloodrage as the damage will be amplified while the blind prevents Bloodseeker from landing hits.
* Tinker is a natural Boots of Travel carrier and Rearm guarantees him escape from Rupture.
Additional:
* Laser blinds Bloodseeker, preventing him from getting last hits and denies during the laning stage and preventing him from finishing off enemies.
* Tinker always buys Boots of Travel, helping him escape Bloodseeker's early ganks.
* Tinker's heavy magical damage will burst down Bloodseeker during the early to mid game, as he has little health.
Enchantress
* Any hero with a low HP pool is easy for Tinker to nuke down: Crystal Maiden,
Enchantress,
Gyrocopter,
Lion,
Riki,
Techies,
Terrorblade,
Necrophos,
Invoker.
Broodmother
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 56% pickrate: 2%)Enchantress
* Enchantress is well known for taking control of various summons with her Enchant. However, Broodmother's summons are not a good target for that, because she can swarm up a bunch of her summons with Spawn Spiderlings and Enchantress has no good waveclear (Spawn Spiderlings can also kill creeps controlled with Enchant).
Additional:
* Enchantress' lack of AoE abilities allows Broodmother to swarm her with Spiderlings.
* Spawn Spiderlings can kill enchanted creeps.
Abaddon
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 4%)Bloodseeker
* Borrowed Time makes Abaddon nearly impossible to gank.
* Aphotic Shield and
Mist Coil prevents Bloodseeker from gaining his Thirst bonuses.

Pugna
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 4%)Enchantress
* Amazingly, Enchantress has even lower health than Pugna. Though she does pack quite a punch through Impetus, she can't use it if she is under Decrepify.
* Pugna's Magical DPS is way greater than the heal from Nature's Attendants, which will also harm her quite a bit if she's next to Nether Ward.
Underlord
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 8%)Bloodseeker
* Damage reduction from Atrophy Aura prevents Bloodseeker from killing targets and gaining his Thirst bonuses.
* Pit of Malice's area of effect catches Bloodseeker easily, negating his speed bonus during teamfights.
* Dark Rift allows Underlord to transport Ruptured allies to the fountain, rendering it useless.
Wraith King
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 18%)Bloodseeker
* Reincarnation makes Wraith King nearly impossible to gank with Rupture.
* Vampiric Aura restores Wraith King's health, reducing the effect of Thirst.
Additional:
* Rupture is meaningless while Reincarnation is off cooldown.
* Vampiric Spirit and Mortal Strike prevent Bloodseeker from achieving Thirst bonuses.
Juggernaut
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 18%)Enchantress
* Blade Fury dispels the slow from
Enchant, spell immunity and used to burst her down during the early laning stage.
* Omnislash and
Swiftslash's physical damage burst ignore
Untouchable.
* Silver Edge is an ideal item for Juggernaut to deal with
Untouchable, making her vulnerable to melee attacks.
Additional:
* Blade Fury dispels the slow from enchant, and can burst her down during the laning stage.
* Omnislash and
Swiftslash's physical damage burst ignore untouchable.

* Shadow Realm prevents Bloodseeker from attacking dark Willow, allowing her to safely teleport away.
Venomancer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 5%)Enchantress
* Untouchable won't mitigate Venomancer's magical damage, and Enchantress is vulnerable to magic damage.
* Both Venomous Gale and
Poison Nova lowers the amount of healing received by Enchantress and her allies from Nature's Attendants.
Tusk
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 7%)Bloodseeker
* Snowball negates Rupture and protects Tusk allies when Ruptured.
Storm Spirit
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 11%)Bloodseeker
* Storm Spirit is invulnerable during Ball Lightning, rendering Rupture ineffective against him.
Additional:
* Storm Spirit is invulnerable during Ball Lightning, allowing him to zip away from any ganking attempts with Rupture.
* Ball Lightning also prevents Bloodseeker from chasing down an injured Storm Spirit, or catching him in Blood Rite.
Dragon Knight
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 3%)Bloodseeker
* Bloodseeker's physical damage is unlikely to kill Dragon Knight, and therefore rarely get a chance to recover the large amount of HP from Bloodrage.
Techies
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 7%)Bloodseeker
* Well planted Proximity Mines can lure Bloodseeker to his death during ganking attempts.
Mars
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 15%)Bloodseeker
* Arena Of Blood prevents Bloodseeker from attacking a Ruptured target.
* Bulwark helps Mars survive Rupture ganks simply by turning towards Bloodseeker without moving.

Pudge
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 19%)Bloodseeker

Witch Doctor
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 13%)Bloodseeker

* Rupture is generally useless against Witch Doctor while he is staying on Death Ward.
* Although Witch Doctor needs to be careful as Blood Rite can interrupt Death Ward.
Morphling
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 13%)Bloodseeker
* Morphling can escape from Rupture using Waveform.
* Morphling is a typical Manta Style carrier, which can be used to dispel the silence from
Blood Rite.
* Morphling can easily kill Bloodseeker with Ethereal Blade and Adaptive Strike combo if either hero is under the effects of
Bloodrage.
Additional:
* Waveform ignores Rupture's damage, letting Morphling escape unharmed.
* Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) makes it very hard for Bloodseeker to kill Morphling or gain his Thirst bonuses, since Morphling can use it to sustain damage while trading attacks when Ruptured.
* Morphling usually builds Linken's Sphere, which blocks Rupture.
* Morphling usually builds Ethereal Blade, which can be used to turn himself or an ally ethereal, and avoid Bloodseeker's attacks.
Lina
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 10%)Enchantress
* Enchantress has pitiful health, and cannot tank Lina's heavy magic damage.
* Untouchable is decently countered by Fiery Soul, exposing Enchantress' weakness to physical damage due to her low armor.

Additional:
* Enchantress has a very small health pool and cannot tank Lina's heavy magic burst.
* Untouchable is decently countered by Fiery Soul, exposing Enchantress' weakness to physical damage due to her low armor.

* Heroes with nukes: Bane,
Lich,
Lion,
Skywrath Mage
Sand King
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 10%)Enchantress

Clinkz,
Sniper,
Enchantress,...
Necrophos
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 3%)Bloodseeker
* Heroes with area heals prevents Bloodseeker from bringing enemies low, and therefore deny him his Thirst bonuses and health return: Necrophos,

* Heroes with nukes that can jump her: Clockwerk,
Snapfire,
Spirit Breaker
Lion
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 16%)Enchantress
* Heroes with nukes: Bane,
Lich,
Lion,
Skywrath Mage
Additional:
* Enchantress is very fragile without any form of magic resistance, allowing Lion to easily burst her down.
* Nature's Attendants is a slow heal, making it ineffective against Lion's burst.
* Enchantress lacks any escape mechanism apart from her raw movement speed, allowing Lion to disable her.
* Since Lion's damage comes mostly from his skills, Untouchable does nothing to mitigate it.
Oracle
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 9%)Enchantress
* Heroes with little health or magic resistance are easily picked off with Oracle's magic burst, such as Skywrath Mage,
Crystal Maiden, or
Enchantress.

* Heroes with nukes: Bane,
Lich,
Lion,
Skywrath Mage
Additional:
* Untouchable is useless versus constant Arcane Bolts, and it doesn't help that her strength gain is the lowest in the game.
* A jungle Enchantress can weaken lanes and make Skywrath Mage's job easier.
* The magic amplification from Ancient Seal makes her even squishier to Skywrath and his allies' magic nukes.
Crystal Maiden
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 14%)Enchantress
* Heroes like Enchantress and
Chen, or heroes that make use of
Helm of the Dominator are weak to Crystal Maiden, as Frostbite can do wonders against
Enchant,
Holy Persuasion, or dominated creeps. Careful though, as an army of carefully controlled creeps (
Enchantress and
Chen) can hold many stuns that will cancel Freezing Field.
Additional:
* Frostbite does 1000 magical damage to Enchantress's creeps and roots them for 10 seconds, which hinders her ability to gank.
Chaos Knight
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 3%)Bloodseeker

Chaos Knight,

Aghanim's Scepter),
Viper
Nyx Assassin
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 14%)Enchantress
* Vendetta breaks Untouchable and deals great damage against her.
* Enchantress' lack of mobility makes her a primary target for ganking with Vendetta.
* Spiked Carapace can reflect Impetus and stun Enchantress.
* Mana Burn can deal tremendous damage against her due to being an Intelligence hero.
Additional:

* Spiked Carapace reflects the damage from Impetus.

Bloodseeker
* Heroes with invisibility will be detected by Thirst when they have low enough health: Bounty Hunter,
Templar Assassin,
Riki,
Clinkz,
Weaver,
Treant Protector,
Nyx Assassin.
Additional:
* While Burrowing, Nyx is an easy target for a Blood Rite, although he can at least partially counter it with a well-timed Spiked Carapace.
* Thirst is always a threat to Nyx Assassin, hindering his attempt of escape using Vendetta.
* Rupture also prevents Nyx Assassin from escaping with Vendetta, as it forces him to stay still.
Luna
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 4%)Enchantress
* Enchantress has pitiful HP so Lucent Beam and Eclipse can kill her very quickly.
* Moon Glaives allows Luna to clear Enchantress' creeps very efficiently.
Additional:
* Enchantress has pitiful HP, even more pitiful than Luna, so Lucent Beam and
Eclipse will often harass and/or kill her through her Untouchable.
* With Moon Glaives, Luna can clear Enchantress's creep wave efficiently.
Enchantress
* Heroes that create illusions (such as Spectre,
Shadow Demon,
Phantom Lancer,
Naga Siren,
Chaos Knight,
Terrorblade) or bring other units into the fight (such as
Nature's Prophet,
Lone Druid,
Chen,
Enchantress and the aforementioned
Meepo and
Arc Warden) can cause Eclipse to strike the illusions/summons unintentionally. (However, in many cases Moon Glaives can resolve this issue and eliminate them before activating Eclipse).
Dazzle
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)Bloodseeker
* Shallow Grave prevents Bloodseeker from replenishing his health by finishing off enemies.
Bloodseeker
* Bloodseeker's
Thirst,
Rupture, and huge AoE silence
Blood Rite can fare well against Dazzle.
Zeus
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 9%)Enchantress
* Enchantress has a very low health pool, allowing Zeus to burst her down quickly before she can heal off the damage.
* Zeus will not be affected by Untouchable, as he won't try to attack her with right clicks anyway.
* Zeus can stay out of her attack range while trying to kill her, especially if he has bought an Aether Lens.
* Most heroes would want to get on top of Zeus to kill him, but Enchantress does not have this option as doing so would severely limit her Impetus damage.
* The exception is the laning phase, where Enchantress can gank Zeus if she Enchants a good creep.
Bloodseeker
* As a spellcaster, silences will nullify him entirely. Some notable examples are Death Prophet,
Drow Ranger,
Bloodseeker,
Disruptor and many others.
* Doom, as usual, fits this description nicely.
Faceless Void
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 41% pickrate: 4%)Bloodseeker
* Time Walk negates Rupture's damage.
* Chronosphere prevents Bloodseeker from running down and picking off weak enemies during teamfights.
Additional:

Blood Rite.
Enchantress
* Heroes that have an escape that doesn't disjoint projectiles: Mirana,
Faceless Void,
Magnus
Huskar
[wiki] rating: -2.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 3%)Enchantress
* Untouchable makes it near impossible to stack Burning Spears.
* Impetus' pure damage puts an instant end to Huskar's low-health brinkmanship.
Bloodseeker
* Huskar is often at low health, providing large Thirst bonuses to Bloodseeker.
* Life Break can trigger Rupture's damage.
* A self applied Bloodrage together with Blademail means it's almost suicidal for Huskar to jump on Bloodseeker with Life Break
Additional:
* Huskar is often at low health, providing large Thirst bonuses.
* Life Break triggers Rupture's damage.
Clinkz
[wiki] rating: -2.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 5%)Bloodseeker
* Skeleton Walk is not enough to outrun Bloodseeker, and is detected by Thirst.
Additional:
* Thirst reveals Clinkz if he tries to escape with Skeleton Walk with low health. It also allows Bloodseeker to match or exceed Clinkz's speed.
* Rupture negates the mobility provided by Skeleton Walk in any attempt to escape or reposition in fights.
* Bloodseeker can easily build items to counter Clinkz, including Talisman of Evasion upgrades,
Blade Mail, and armor items.
Enchantress
* Untouchable prevents Clinkz from harassing Enchantress in lane by lowering his attack speed.
* Nature's Attendants helps Enchantress to sustain from Clinkz' harassment in Lane.
Magnus
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 4%)Bloodseeker
* Rupture deals extra damage to Magnus during Skewer or
Force Staff, preventing him from escaping or counter-initiating, forcing him to invest on a
Linken's Sphere.
Enchantress
* Heroes that have an escape that doesn't disjoint projectiles: Mirana,
Faceless Void,
Magnus
Sniper
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 6%)Bloodseeker
* Sniper is suspectible to being ganked by Bloodseeker, who can easily kill Sniper due to his lack of mobility and escape mechanisms.
* Even if Sniper builds mobility items, Bloodseeker can prevent and even punish Sniper from/for using them with Rupture; Sniper is forced to stand still with
Shadow Blade, while
Hurricane Pike and
Blink Dagger deals damage if he attempts to use them while Ruptured.
Additional:
* Sniper's lack of mobility and escape mechanisms makes him one of the easier heroes for Bloodseeker to gank.
Enchantress
* Range-reliant heroes: Sniper,
Drow Ranger
Monkey King
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 17%)Bloodseeker
* Heroes that can maintain vision on Monkey King can see when he uses Tree Dance: Bloodseeker,
Treant Protector with Eyes In The Forest,
Sniper,
Weaver
Enchantress
* Impetus pure damage ignores the extra armor granted from Wukong's Command.
* Enchant can dispel Monkey King's Jingu Mastery bonuses.
* Untouchable makes it hard for Monkey King to land Jingu Mastery stacks.
* Sproink allows Enchantress to escape from Wukong's Command.
Lycan
[wiki] rating: -1.4 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 4%)Enchantress
* Heroes with haste can negate Enchant's slow: Weaver,
Dark Seer,
Lycan,
Centaur Warrunner.
Bloodseeker
* Rupture completely negates Lycan's high mobility.
* All of Lycan's summons are good sources of healing with Bloodrage.

Additional:
* She can Enchant one of the wolves to her side.
* Untouchable still slows Lycan's attack speed.
Sven
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 43% pickrate: 1%)Enchantress
* Against her Untouchable, Sven is barely able to hit Enchantress even with his Black King Bar.
Vengeful Spirit
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 4%)Bloodseeker
* Nether Swap triggers extra damage from Rupture.
* Blood Rite sets up while Vengeful Spirit using her Nether Swap within a timed correctly.
Lifestealer
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 5%)Enchantress
* Since Untouchable pierce Spell immunity, Lifestealer cannot burst her down even with
Rage ; meaning she can heal herself back to full HP.
Io
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 4%)Bloodseeker
* Thirst allows Bloodseeker to see where Io relocated to, should either Io or the tethered hero have low health.
* Rupture forces Io to stay in place, preventing it from using the Tether bonus movement speed to escape.
Pangolier
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 9%)Bloodseeker
* Thirst provides constant sight and speed to Bloodseeker, allows him to catch up a fleeing Pangolier through all of his mobility.
* Rupture is a great threat to Pangolier, causes him to take heavy damage if he uses Swashbuckle and especially Rolling Thunder, forcing him to stop his ultimate prematurely, or keep rolling to his death.
Additional:
* Rupture works through Rolling Thunder and
Swashbuckle, greatly reducing Pangolier's mobility.
Phoenix
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 9%)Bloodseeker
* Although Blood Rite can be easily avoided, if it does hit, its lengthy silence and pure damage can be a severe punishment for a slow, unobservant, or simply unfortunate Phoenix. His
Rupture can turn Icarus Dive into a suicide option, and it cannot be dispelled, meaning even if Phoenix completes a Supernova, choosing to Dive may just cut its health back down. And finally, due to Phoenix's health costs, too much careless ability spamming may just put Phoenix into Bloodseeker's vision, making it a very tempting ganking target.
Additional:
* Phoenix expends health to use its abilities, making it a good target for Thirst.
* Rupture deals heavy damage against Icarus Dive.
Spirit Breaker

* Heroes with nukes that can jump her: Clockwerk,

Earth Spirit,
Dark Seer.
Void Spirit
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 12%)Bloodseeker
* Rupture will fully damage Void Spirit during his ultimate, removing his main escape mechanic during fights and his way to disrupt them heavily.
* Blood Rite will force Void Spirit to use Dissimilate or Astral Step or be silenced. In the latter's case, it can be dangerous when combined with Rupture.
Ursa
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 16%)Enchantress
* Enchant dispels Overpower.
* Enchant's slow can help kite Ursa in fights and also in lane.
* Enchantress can out harass Ursa in lane by using her long attack range and Untouchable, as well as out sustaining him with Nature's Attendants.
Warlock
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Bloodseeker
* Blood Rite can silence Warlock, which as a spellcaster is bad for him.
* Rupture prevents Warlock from moving without taking damage, which due to his general lack of escapes is bad for him, and when combined with Blood Rite can be a very lethal combo.
Mirana
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 16%)Enchantress
* Mirana can instantly kill creeps with Sacred Arrow, making her decent at crippling the armies of Chen or
Enchantress.

[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 7%)Enchantress
* Untouchable greatly reduces Chemical Rage's attack speed advantage.
Bounty Hunter
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 9%)Bloodseeker
* Rupture can turn Bounty Hunter's mobility against him, and prevents him from escaping with Shadow Walk due to the potentially heavy damage.
* Thirst can prevent Bounty Hunter from escaping with Shadow Walk should Bounty Hunter's health become low enough, as it provides True Sight.
Enigma
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 6%)Bloodseeker
* Blood Rite can flush Enigma out of position and potentially force him to activate his spell immunity prematurely, before pulling off a Black Hole combo.
* Bloodseeker can find an Enigma out of position and Rupture him, making it difficult to initiate properly in a team fight, as it pierces through
Black King Bar
Meepo
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 1%)Enchantress
* Meepo can quickly kill Enchantress with a
Poof combo, rendering Untouchable useless.
Enchantress
* Enchantress's

Bloodseeker
* Every Meepo clone adds to Thirst's bonuses.
* Bloodseeker can chase down retreating clones when Meepo tries to cycle weaker clones away from combat.

Morphling,
Enchantress,
Shadow Demon.
Slardar
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 6%)Bloodseeker
* Bloodseeker's
Rupture forces Slardar to stay still during fights, preventing Slardar from using Guardian sprint to move in and out of fights. This takes away the ability to initiate and re-initiate with Slithereen Crush's low cooldown. Due to the increased move speed from Guardian Sprint, Slardar can lose health at about 160% the rate of normal heroes while under
Rupture. Bloodseeker's
Thirst also gives him enough move speed so that he's one of the few heroes who can outrun or catch up to a Slardar during Guardian Sprint.

Slark
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 13%)Enchantress
* Heroes that can jump on her: Slark,
Queen of Pain,
Anti-Mage
Bloodseeker
* Thirst prevents Slark from healing with Shadow Dance.
* Rupture will deal damage during Pounce.
* Dark Pact cannot dispel Rupture, preventing Slark from escaping ganks.
Additional:
* Thirst makes Slark visible while at low health, canceling out Shadow Dance's passive. For this reason, Bloodseeker is usually considered the hardest counter to Slark.
* Rupture cannot be dispelled by Dark Pact, and using Pounce while affected by it will cause Slark to take damage.

* Heroes that can jump on her: Slark,
Queen of Pain,
Anti-Mage

Linken's Sphere, following up with
Rupture.
* Blood Rite silences her, preventing her from initiating or escaping.
* With Thirst, even if she Blinks away, Bloodseeker can catch right up to her.
* Rupture will heavily damage Queen of Pain if she tries to Blink away.
* She is, however, one of the few heroes who can avoid the damage from Rupture if she does it correctly.
Lich
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 11%)Enchantress
* Heroes with nukes: Bane,
Lich,
Lion,
Skywrath Mage
Bloodseeker
* If Thirst activated, Lich doesn't slow Bloodseeker.
* If he sees Chain Frost is targeting him, he can easily isolate himself with Thirst or forces Bloodseeker to build Blade Mail can cause Lich to accidentally kill himself with Chain Frost.
* Even Lich builds Glimmer Cape or
Force Staff are suicidal item against Bloodseeker when he is affected by
Rupture.
Weaver
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 8%)Enchantress
* Heroes with haste can negate Enchant's slow: Weaver,
Dark Seer,
Lycan,
Centaur Warrunner.
Bloodseeker
* Shukuchi will trigger extra damage from Rupture.
* Shukuchi's invisibility is detected by Thirst.
* Time Lapse cannot dispel Rupture, preventing Weaver from escaping ganks.
Additional:
* Rupture is particularly crippling against Weaver, who relies on high movement speed from Shukuchi to fight and escape, and it cannot be dispelled by Time Lapse.
* Thirst detects Weaver through Shukuchi whenever his health is low.
* Blood Rite combined with Rupture forces Weaver to either take damage from the latter, or to get silenced for a long duration.

[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 56% pickrate: 7%)Bloodseeker
* Heroes with disables that go through spell immunity can end Bloodseeker before he has the chance to do anything: Batrider,
Beastmaster
Enchantress
* Untouchable negates Inner Beast's attack speed bonus, making her hard to kill even if stunned by Primal Roar.
* Enchantress can also take control of Beastmaster's summons.
Additional:
* Enchant can control Beastmaster's boars, mitigating his effectiveness during the laning stage and teamfights.
Timbersaw
[wiki] rating: -0.2 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 7%)Enchantress
* The burst damage from Timbersaw's abilities is more than enough to deal with Enchantress and her creeps.
* Timbersaw doesn't rely on his physical attacks, which makes Untouchable useless against him.
* Timber Chain can close the gap between them and minimize damage from Impetus.
* Be aware, however, that Timber Chain could work against him if used to escape.
* However, Impetus can ignore Reactive Armor if Enchantress is not a primary target for Timbersaw or if he is disabled.
Enchantress
* Timbersaw has a difficult time against magical and pure damage: Lina,
Leshrac,
Enchantress,
Queen of Pain
Bloodseeker
* Bloodseeker's
Rupture deals great damage against Timbersaw should he tried escaping with Timber Chain.
Additional:
* Rupture and Blood Rite locks down Timbersaw, preventing him from escaping with Timber Chain. However, Timbersaw may reflect a good deal of damage with
Blade Mail.

[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 0%)Enchantress
* Chen can use Holy Persuasion on creeps controlled by Enchant.
* Ironically, Enchantress can Enchant Chen's creeps.
Enchantress
* Enchantress can turn Chen's own creeps against him with Enchant. The creeps still keep the health buff Holy Persuasion granted them.
* Untouchable and
Nature's Attendants make her difficult to kill.
Phantom Lancer
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 9%)Bloodseeker
* Heroes with illusion and clone abilities may confuse Bloodseeker, causing him to waste time in fights: Phantom Lancer,
Chaos Knight,
Arc Warden
Bloodseeker
* Bloodseeker's
Rupture shows a clear red trail effect on the real Phantom Lancer.
* Heroes with undispellable debuffs will help identify the real Phantom Lancer through visual effects or debuff indicators, provided that it was cast on the real Phantom Lancer to begin with:

Doom marks Phantom Lancer with a highly visible effect, and also silences him.
* Bloodseeker's
Rupture shows a clear red trail effect on the real Phantom Lancer.

Windranger
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 16%)Enchantress
* Windrun's speed allows easy pursuit or escape, while the evasion greatly reduces the threat of Enchantress' Impetus, especially when retreating.

Bloodseeker
* Rupture turns Windranger's mobility against her.
Additional:
* Windrun triggers the damage from Rupture.
Riki
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 15%)Enchantress
* Riki usually buys Diffusal Blade to initiate, which renders Enchantress' movement speed useless, and is usually followed with
Smoke Screen.
* Riki can effectively hit Enchantress by Tricks of the Trade alongside with
Diffusal Blade and
Smoke Screen's initiation. For a hero like Enchantress, 3 to 4 hits from Riki is a big deal, unless Enchantress built
Force Staff earlier.
Bloodseeker
* Thirst detects Riki whenever his health is low.
* Rupture does large damage when Riki uses Blink Strike.
Omniknight
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 1%)Bloodseeker
* Guardian Angel's near invulnerability denies Bloodseeker the bonuses from Thirst, preventing him from gaining the upper hand in teamfights.
* Purification's pure damage makes it hard for Bloodseeker to pursue enemies, and prevents him from replenishing his health by finishing off enemies.
Enchantress
* Impetus is not blocked by Guardian Angel. A {U:Satyr Banisher} can also be controlled to dispel
Guardian Angel.
Dark Seer

About
This website was made to help you in pick stage of online game Dota 2. It calculates rating for each possible counterpicks based on tips from web-based database made up entirely of user contributions Dota 2 wiki.
You will get the list of recommended hero counters with a list of tips written by Dota 2 wiki contributors explaining why it's good against the particular hero. In comparison to other similar websites, which show only rating based on average hero winrate from dotabuff or similar service.
How to interpret this data
Take it with a bit of grain of salt, especially if the recommendation has a low rating (<= 1), some heroes
may win a lane in an early game but would lose in late game (and vice versa). That's why sometimes
you could hero names appearing as a counter and as being countered, as on image:
You can also add your own tips, update old data and fix mistakes by editing page on Dota 2 Wiki (it works like Wikipedia - anyone can contribute, you don't even need to register) these edits will appear on this website automatically (data is updated several times per week).
Right now there is no app/overlay that will detect picks automatically (like overwolf dota plus or become the gamer), instead, you can open web version in a steam in-game browser or use mobile version on your smartphone.

Bloodseeker
*
Berserker's Rage will repeatedly trap Bloodseeker in a one-on-one fight.
Whirling Axes (Melee) blinds Bloodseeker, causing him to miss 60% of the time, and therefore reduces his ability to gain the upper hand in teamfights.
*
Enchantress
*
Battle Trance and
Fervor can help cancel out Untouchable.
Untouchable's attack speed slow is easily remedied by Fervor stacks and Battle Trance.
