Oracle
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 8%)Faceless Void
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 17%)Ember Spirit
* Faceless Void is one of the best heroes against Ember Spirit, providing a lot of ways of dealing with him. Ember Spirit becomes a lot weaker if affected by 
Time Dilation, as he can no longer spam Sleight of Fist.
* 
Chronosphere is also a reliable lockdown for Ember Spirit, although it can be evaded sometimes by Activate Fire Remnant. Additionally, Void can easily negate Sleight of Fist damage with 
Time Walk.
* And finally, Void is a great 
Diffusal Blade carrier. Not only 
Manabreak's physical damage not negated by Flame Guard, but it also burns Ember Spirit's mana. That, in turn, prevents him from escaping if he survived Chronosphere.
Bounty Hunter
* Heroes who rely on invisibility, such as 
Bounty Hunter, 
Clinkz, 
Mirana, 
Nyx Assassin and 
Riki, as they will be revealed if caught by Chronosphere.

Orchid Malevolence to counter it.
Techies
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 7%)Ember Spirit
* Ember Spirit relies on his 
Fire Remnant to keep a steady push and then retreat to a safe distance. Keeping two or three patches of Remote Mines on a lane will severely impair him from pushing that lane without risking his life.
Bounty Hunter
* Techies is very good against roaming supports and gankers such as Bounty Hunter, Riki, Weaver, 
Earthshaker, Nyx Assassin, etc. that are constantly moving around the map.
Lion
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 15%)Ember Spirit
* Lion possesses two strong disables in 
Earth Spike and 
Hex and heavy magic burst with 
Finger of Death which help lock him down and prevent him from escaping with Activate Fire Remnant. When getting his 
Blink Dagger Lion can punish Ember Spirit's overextension immediately, or initiate a fight on him with disables.
Additional:
* Ember lacks any protection against Lion's disables early in the game and often does not acquire any later, allowing Lion to Hex or Earth Spike him before he escapes through his Fire Remnant.
* Although 
Flame Guard can prevent magic damage, it does not stop Lion's disables, and Lion can usually break through it with Finger of Death.
Bounty Hunter
* Finger of Death can instantly shred many targets especially fragile Heroes like 
Keeper of the Light, 
Ancient Apparition, or Bounty Hunter.
Drow Ranger
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 13%)Ember Spirit
* Ember Spirit greatly relies on his spells to engage in battle. Drow Ranger can simply silence him with Gust and make him useless for a few seconds, which Ember Spirit cannot afford during a teamfight.
Zeus
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 14%)Bounty Hunter
* Bounty Hunter has a very low health pool, allowing Zeus to burst him down quickly.

* If Bounty Hunter tries to escape a gank by using 
Shadow Walk, Zeus can gain vision of him with both Lightning Bolt and Thundergod's Wrath.
Additional:
* 
Lightning Bolt makes roaming behind enemy lines more and more difficult as Zeus becomes powerful enough to spam it. Also, Zeus' Ultimate 
Thundergod's Wrath reveals Bounty Hunter regardless of his position.
Spectre
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 17%)Bounty Hunter
* Spectre can instantly reveal Bounty Hunter's position on the activation of her ultimate 
Haunt. She can also semi-reveal(visible but not target-able) Bounty Hunter by hitting him with 
Spectral Dagger.
Venomancer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 12%)Bounty Hunter
* Venomancer's magical damage-over-time poisons greatly reduce Bounty Hunter's mobility.
* 
Venomous Gale, 
Plague Wards and 
Poison Nova with True Sight items can allow Venomancer and his teammates to gank Bounty Hunter while he is roaming alone.
Slardar
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 9%)Bounty Hunter
* Slardar's 
Corrosive Haze provides True Sight on its target, thus exposing Bounty Hunter's position regardless of Shadow Walk. In addition, Slardar's 
Guardian Sprint gives a very high movement speed bonus allowing him to chase Bounty Hunter even if Slardar is tracked.
Additional:
* Bounty Hunter's Shadow Walk is rendered useless with Corrosive Haze and makes Bounty Hunter an easy target for Slardar and his team.
Luna
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 5%)Bounty Hunter
* Even though Luna is the kind of hero that Bounty Hunter can handle due to Shadow Walk rendering him safe from 
Eclipse, smart Luna will always buy 
Dust of Appearance, allowing her to provide vision on him to her team, and possibly, kill Bounty Hunter with Eclipse.
Additional:

[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 5%)Bounty Hunter

Silence allows her to prevent Bounty Hunter from escaping with Shadow Walk.

Crypt Swarm and 
Spirit Siphon.
Silencer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 6%)Ember Spirit
* 
Global Silence and 
Last Word can prevent Ember Spirit from casting Activate Fire Remnant to escape.
* 
Glaives of Wisdom also provide high pure damage that is not negated by Flame Guard.
* 
Arcane Curse is also a potent harassing tool in the laning stage as its cooldown is lower than Flame Guard's.
Rubick
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 21%)Bounty Hunter
* Rubick is a potential counter to Bounty Hunter as he can steal his Track and use it not only against his invisibility, but also providing his team more gold if the tracked hero is killed.

Linken's Sphere.
Outworld Devourer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 3%)Ember Spirit
* The pure damage provided by 
Arcane Orb is a great addition for killing Ember Spirit.
*

Dark Seer, 
Undying, 
Alchemist, Legion Commander.
Night Stalker
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 6%)Bounty Hunter
*

Crippling Fear at night prevents Shadow Walk for an extended period of time and his 
Void will make Phase Boots useless. If Night Stalker has True Sight, he can shutdown Bounty Hunter's sneak kill.
Wraith King
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 8%)Bounty Hunter
* Heroes that are naturally hard to gank, ranging from beefy tanks like Abaddon and Wraith King to heroes with quick escape mechanisms like

* Heroes who rely on high mobility are especially vulnerable to Primal Roar: Storm Spirit, 
Ember Spirit, 
Queen of Pain.
Storm Spirit
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 10%)Bounty Hunter
* Heroes that are naturally hard to gank, ranging from beefy tanks like Abaddon and Wraith King to heroes with quick escape mechanisms like Anti-Mage and Storm Spirit are also undesirable targets for a lone, roaming Bounty Hunter to scout out and initiate on.
Ember Spirit
* Storm Spirit is not only a potent Orchid Malevolence carrier, his 
Electric Vortex provides an additional disable and 
Overload provides a great slow. When paired with 
Static Remnant, they can cut through Flame Guard fast.
* 
Ball Lightning not only provides great initiation upon Ember Spirit from any position anytime, but also helps dodge Sleight of Fist.
Ember Spirit
* Flame Guard absorbs up to 500 magical damage (700 with Level 10 talents), which helps Ember Spirit survive and react to Storm Spirit's high magical damage.
*

Doom
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 9%)Ember Spirit
* The general opinion that Doom can counter Ember Spirit with his 
Doom is a misconception, as Doom has a long cast animation, so an attentive Ember Spirit can easily dodge it if he has a Fire Remnant nearby. Doom is still an extremely effective early ganker however, as his 
Scorched Earth and 
Infernal Blade damage can quickly overwhelm Flame Guard's magic damage absorption, leaving Ember Spirit with no protection against them. Additional skills that Doom can get from Neutral creeps can also help bully Ember Spirit early. 
Shadow Blade or Blink Dagger on Doom can also help, providing a good way to apply Doom on Ember Spirit.
Additional:
* Ember Spirit cannot use his 
Activate Fire Remnant while Doomed to escape from Doom.
Queen of Pain
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 15%)Ember Spirit
* Queen of Pain can be a good hero for dealing with Ember Spirit with Orchid Malevolence, her pure damage nuke in

[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 57% pickrate: 10%)Ember Spirit
* Ember Spirit's Flame Guard provides no protection against Clinkz's physical damage output.

* If Clinkz has farmed an item that can disable, he can sneak up to and hunt down Ember Spirit while he farms or split pushes alone.
Bounty Hunter
* Invisibility reliant heroes: Heroes with invisibility abilities or those that have invested into invisibility items are hindered by Bounty Hunter's Track. Few examples of such heroes are:Clinkz, Riki, 
Treant Protector, etc.
Additional:

* Track gives additional speed to Bounty Hunter and makes Shadow Blade useless, allowing Bounty Hunter to easily kill him with a few attacks.
Additional:

* Track negates much of Void Spirit's escape abilities by revealing his position and prevents him from rotating effectively.
Ember Spirit
* Ember Spirit has much higher mobility in Fire Remnant than Void Spirit.
* Ember's Flame Guard is effective against Void Spirit's spells, as most of them deal magical damage.
* The root from Searing Chains prevents Void Spirit from using Dissimilate or Astral Step.
Nature's Prophet
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 7%)Bounty Hunter
* Heroes with detection: Bounty Hunter, 
Disruptor, 
Razor, 
Slardar, 
Spectre, 
Spirit Breaker
Ember Spirit
* 
Sleight of Fist with 
Battle Fury deals a lot of damage to Nature's Prophet's team if they stand close to his Treants, as well as killing all of his Treants and getting lots of gold.
* Ember Spirit with Fire Remnant and 
Boots of Travel can teleport and defend tower whenever Nature's Prophet tries to push.

Pudge
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 24%)Ember Spirit
* Heroes with a high degree of mobility and invisibility are hard to catch with Meat Hook: Ember Spirit, Riki, Clinkz, Queen of Pain.
Bounty Hunter
* Bounty Hunter can easily keep vision on Pudge with Track, making it difficult for Pudge to hook Bounty Hunter or his team mates.
* It's difficult for Pudge to keep up with Bounty Hunter to apply 
Rot on him due to Shadow Walk.
* Shuriken Toss cancels out 
Dismember from a good range if Bounty Hunter is not a target.

* 
Shuriken Toss cancels out Dismember from a good range.
Crystal Maiden
[wiki] rating: -1.4 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 13%)Bounty Hunter
* Frostbite will reveal invisible heroes for its duration, making it a good tool against any such hero (Riki, Bounty Hunter, Weaver, or Clinkz for example), or as a soft counter to Shadow Blade, if it is used first. This can be an amazing tool to ensure that Dust of Appearance is used on the unit in question, and not wasted in not catching anything.
Bounty Hunter
* Shuriken Toss's stun is useful for cancelling Freezing Field from a distance.
* Track can be used for revealing Crystal Maiden when she uses 
Glimmer Cape.
* Jinada does burst physical damage (which is even bigger if dealt under Track's crits), which is effective due to Crystal Maiden's low HP and armor.
* Bounty Hunter likes to stay hidden from the fight and is less likely to get caught by Crystal Maiden's spells.
Ember Spirit
* Crystal Maiden is extremely fragile and she's an easy target for him. She has no real disables that can lock Ember Spirit down, and all of her skill damage can be negated with Flame Guard. The damage from Searing Chains, Flame Guard, and Sleigh of Fist can easily take her down.
Shadow Demon
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 3%)Ember Spirit
* Disruption is not reliable enough to catch an Ember Spirit with a backup Fire Remnant.
* Sleight of Fist will make quick work of the spawned illusions.

Terrorblade
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 8%)Ember Spirit
* Ember Spirit can deal devastating damage to illusion heroes like Terrorblade with Sleight of Fist. Terrorblade also has no way of preventing Ember Spirit from getting Activate Fire Remnant off. Additionally, Ember Spirit's ability to fight from long range as well as his wide skill set won't give many opportunities for Terrorblade to get 
Sunder off.
Additional:
* Ember Spirit can deal devastating damage to Terrorblade and his illusions with Sleight of Fist.
* Terrorblade has no disable to lock down Ember Spirit and prevent him from escaping with Fire Remnant. In addition, he doesn't like purchasing disabling items, which are the only solutions to deal with Ember Spirit.

[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)Ember Spirit
* Searing Chains prevents usage of Timber Chain.
* Timbersaw is vulnerable to magical burst damage, which Ember Spirit provides with Fire Remnant and Flame Guard.
* Timbersaw's abilities deal pure damage, thus they cannot remove Flame Guard.
Windranger
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 24%)Ember Spirit

* Flame Guard deals considerable magical damage to Windranger.
Alchemist
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 3%)Ember Spirit

* A pre-placed Fire Remnant allows Ember Spirit to escape 
Upheaval.

* Flame Guard blocks most of the magical damage Clockwerk does.
Riki
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 5%)Bounty Hunter
* Track gives Riki a hard time, as it prevents much of his ganking capabilities.
Dark Seer
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 5%)Ember Spirit
* Flame Guard makes Dark Seer not deal any damage with his skills to Ember Spirit.
Broodmother
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 3%)Ember Spirit
* Sleight of Fist keeps Ember Spirit invulnerable until he hits every unit in its area of effect allowing him to stall for large amounts of time against Broodmother and her large amounts of spiderlings, or potentially damaging them enough if equipped with an item to improve wave clearing such as Battle Fury or 
Maelstrom to prevent her pushes entirely.
* Flame Guard will damage any of Broodmother's spiders in an area, deterring her from attempting to kill him. It can also be used during Sleight of Fist to amplify damage done.
* Fire Remnant allows Ember Spirit an escape from Broodmother that is unaffected by her Incapacitating Bite.
Io
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 4%)Bounty Hunter

Witch Doctor
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 13%)Bounty Hunter

[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 6%)Bounty Hunter

[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 14%)Ember Spirit
* Heroes with good mobility to avoid Jakiro's abilities and with good chase to punish Jakiro from pushing a tower: Bloodseeker, Ember Spirit, Juggernaut, Phantom Assassin, Weaver.
Shadow Shaman
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Bounty Hunter
* Nyx Assassin, Bounty Hunter and Slark can all sneak up and kill you, Nyx being particularly deadly. Watch Slark carefully, as he can break either (but not both unless you are making a mistake) of your disables, with Dark Pact and leap out of a serpent ward ring. These heroes, however, rely heavily on escape and are themselves not very durable and none of them can survive a full lockdown with Mass Serpent Ward. Having Sentry Wards can turn you from prey to predator.
Skywrath Mage
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 7%)Bounty Hunter
* Fragile heroes: Bounty Hunter has decent nuking capabilities with Shiruken Toss and Jinada thus making fragile heroes easy picks for ganking. Few examples of such heroes are:Crystal Maiden, Pugna, Skywrath Mage, Io, Witch Doctor, etc.
Pugna

* Fragile heroes: Bounty Hunter has decent nuking capabilities with Shiruken Toss and Jinada thus making fragile heroes easy picks for ganking. Few examples of such heroes are:Crystal Maiden, Pugna, Skywrath Mage, Io, Witch Doctor, etc.
Lycan
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 1%)Ember Spirit
* Heroes that heavily depend on illusions or summons, (Naga Siren, 
Terrorblade, Phantom Lancer, Lycan,...) are vulnerable to Sleight of Fist and even more so if Ember Spirit has Battle Fury.
Treant Protector
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 7%)Bounty Hunter
* Invisibility reliant heroes: Heroes with invisibility abilities or those that have invested into invisibility items are hindered by Bounty Hunter's Track. Few examples of such heroes are:Clinkz, Riki, Treant Protector, etc.
Mirana
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 13%)Bounty Hunter
* Heroes with spells that negate invisibility such as Bounty Hunter, 
Zeus and Slardar prevent her from saving her allies with Moonlight Shadow.
Meepo
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 1%)Ember Spirit
* Heroes with high mobility can be prevented from using it to their advantage with Earthbind, even if they pack a dangerous arsenal: Earth Spirit, Ember Spirit, Storm Spirit, 
Nature's Prophet, Phantom Assassin, Riki, Anti-Mage, Weaver.
* See items and abilities disabled by roots
Ember Spirit
* Meepo is quite fragile in the early game and can be easily taken down by Flame Guard's and Searing Chains' damage. Later on, Meepo is very vulnerable to Sleight of Fist's damage due to Battle Fury's cleave on multiple Meepos.
Additional:
* Sleight of Fist boosted by Battle Fury and 
Daedalus makes quick work of Meepo if clones are crowded around each other.
* Searing Chains interrupts Meepo's initiating because Meepo's clones do not have spell immunity.
Phantom Lancer
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 5%)Bounty Hunter
* Doppelganger dispels Track.
* Bounty Hunter also has no area of effect abilities to help with the illusions.
Ember Spirit
* Sleight of Fist, allows Ember Spirit to destroy all of Phantom Lancer's illusions.
* Flame Guard also deals significant damage to illusions, and protects against Spirit Lance.
* Phantom Rush is unable to catch Ember Spirit when he teleports to his Fire Remnants.
Additional:
* Sleight of Fist is the natural counter to Phantom Lancer's army of illusions, especially when combined with Battle Fury.
Ursa
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 6%)Bounty Hunter
* Ursa with Enrage
* Heroes that can remove the Track debuff with their skills:

Shadow Fiend
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 11%)Ember Spirit
* 
Shadowraze can easily remove the protection from Flame Guard and kill Ember Spirit due to his low health.
* Ember Spirit is very vulnerable to physical damage from 
Necromastery.
Bounty Hunter
* Bounty Hunter can absolutely destroy a Shadow Fiend's game by ganking his midlane with Shadow Walk, Jinada and Shuriken Toss.
* If his lane goes bad, a Shadow Fiend usually goes to the jungle. Follow him with Shadow Walk and take half of his experience.
* Shuriken Toss is a good way to interrupt Shadow Fiend's long cast animation on 
Requiem of Souls.
Additional:
* Shuriken Toss can be used to cancel Requiem of Souls.
* Shadow Walk and Jinada allow Bounty Hunter to gank Shadow Fiend early on
* Track prevents Shadow Fiend from escaping with Shadow Blade.
Naga Siren
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 2%)Bounty Hunter
* Naga Siren with Mirror Image
* Heroes that can remove the Track debuff with their skills:

* Phantom Lancer with Doppelganger
* Slark with Dark Pact
* Ursa with Enrage
* Weaver with Time Lapse
* Tidehunter with Kraken Shell when damage received reaches the threshold.
Additional:
* Bounty Hunter is a single target dealer, so he will not fare well against Naga Siren. He might as well try to Track her, but her Mirror Image will dispel the effect. Also, Ensnare reveals invisible units while they're rooted, putting Bounty Hunter in a tricky situation.
Ember Spirit
* Cleave heroes will clear her illusions. Such heroes include Sven, 
Magnus, Dragon Knight in Elder Dragon Form, Ember Spirit (via item), Phantom Assassin (via talent or item), etc.
Nyx Assassin
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 3%)Ember Spirit
* With 
Vendetta, Nyx Assassin can move closely to Ember Spirit when he's farming with his Flame Guard and use 
Spiked Carapace with 
Impale to provide a reliable and long disable.
* 
Mana Burn is also good, as Ember Spirit relies on his limited mana pool for the early to midgame.
Additional:
* Spiked Carapace can be easily triggered by Flame Guard or Battle Fury, setting up a deadly Impale.
Bounty Hunter
* Nyx Assassin wants to start ganking as soon as he gets his Vendetta. Keeping him Tracked prevents him from ganking, and thus from doing his job in the game.
* Nyx Assassin has a lot of armor and health regen, making the nuke damage from Shuriken Toss very good against him.
Additional:
* Track hinders Nyx Assassin's ganking attempts with Vendetta, making him an easy kill for gold as well.

* Phantom Lancer with Doppelganger
* Slark with Dark Pact
* Ursa with Enrage
* Weaver with Time Lapse
* Tidehunter with Kraken Shell when damage received reaches the threshold.
Bounty Hunter
* Bounty Hunter has a cheap way to break Linken's Sphere and keep track of Weaver while he is using Shukuchi, though both can be dispelled with Time Lapse.
Chaos Knight
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 3%)Bounty Hunter
* Phantasm dispels Track, and the illusions make it difficult to Track the real Chaos Knight.
* Bounty Hunter is fragile and can easily be killed by Chaos Knight and Phantasm's illusions.
Ember Spirit
* Ember Spirit is evasive and can dodge close encounters with melee heroes like Chaos Knight. Ember Spirit can't be caught with the slow from 
Reality Rift, and Flame Guard and Sleight of Fist can bring Phantasm's illusions down quickly.
Spirit Breaker
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Bounty Hunter
* Spirit Breaker's 
Charge of Darkness semi-reveals Bounty Hunter, taking away his element of surprise for the duration of the charge. Also, as Charge of Darkness shows Bounty Hunter's position, Spirit Breaker's allies can proceed to gank Bounty Hunter while he is roaming alone.
Ember Spirit
* Searing Chains can stop Charge of Darkness if timed correctly.
* Activate Fire Remnant can be used to escape an approaching Spirit Breaker, or lead Spirit Breaker into a bad situation.

Bloodseeker
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 6%)Bounty Hunter
* Bloodseeker's 
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.
Ember Spirit
* Fire Remnant allows Ember Spirit to escape while Ruptured.

Ember Spirit
* Oracle can shut down both of Ember's early game abilities. Fortune's End can dispel
Flame Guard on Ember Spirit and 
Searing Chains on allies.
Fire Remnants move at 0 movement speed.
Sleight of Fist ability, possibly making him useless for a few seconds in the late game without a dispel or spell immunity. This is especially good if he has a rapier or two. However, positioning for this is difficult when Ember plays far back.
* When Ember Spirit is affected by Fortune's End, his
* Disarming him with Fate's Edict does affect Ember's
