[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 10%)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.

Rubick
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 16%)Winter Wyvern

* 
Arctic Burn provides bonus attack range, night vision and burn.
* 
Splinter Blast makes farming and pushing efficient while also slowing down the enemies.
* 
Cold Embrace can heal an ally and protect them against physical attacks.
* 
Winter's Curse can be stolen by Rubick and use it against herself or her own team.
Bounty Hunter
* Rubick is a potential counter to Bounty Hunter as he can steal his Track and use it against his invisibility, and also provide his team with more gold if the tracked hero is killed.

* Guardian Angel completely counters Winter's Curse if he is able to cast it.

Aphotic Shield and 
Borrowed Time

Additional:
* Bounty Hunter is a single target damage dealer, so he will not fare well against Naga Siren. He may try to 
Track her, but her Mirror Image will dispel the effect. Ensnare also reveals invisible units while they're rooted, putting Bounty Hunter at a disadvantage.
Winter Wyvern
* Song of the Siren can be used to nullify the effects of Winter's Curse, and when upgraded with 
Aghanim's Scepter it also outmatches the heal of Cold Embrace.
* If Winter Wyvern is reckless enough to put an ally in Cold Embrace, Naga Siren will be able to use her Ensnare to extend the disable on the hero affected by Cold Embrace.
Slark

Winter Wyvern
* Arctic Burn and Splinter Blast debuffs are dispellable with Dark Pact. Arctic Burn is also no escape against 
Pounce.
* Cold Embrace just gives Slark free 
Essence Shift stacks. He also relies mostly on magic damage early in the game.
Tinker
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 12%)Winter Wyvern
* All of his damage is magical and pure, which makes Cold Embrace a good setup for his nukes.
* Winter's Curse is very hard to cast on Tinker because he usually stays in the back-lines in team-fights. In turn, Tinker has mediocre attack damage and will contribute very little when he is cursed to attack an ally. He can also save his ally under Winter's Curse effect with 
Ethereal Blade.
Spirit Breaker
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 23%)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.
Outworld Destroyer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 15%)Winter Wyvern
* Outworld Destroyer's pure damage from Arcane Orb can go through Cold Embrace.
* Outworld Destroyer can negate the healing from Cold Embrace using Astral Imprisonment, and steal mana while doing so.
* Outworld Destroyer's damage during Winter's Curse is reduced due to Arcane Orb being unable to target allies.
Additional:
* Winter Wyvern must never put her allies in Cold Embrace against Outworld Destroyer as 
Arcane Orb will continue to deal damage to the defenseless hero.
* Arcane Orb does not hit his allies when he is taunted by Winter's Curse, making it weak against allies, but strong versus enemies.
* 
Astral Imprisonment can protect a target inflicted with Winter's Curse.
Venomancer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)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: 50% pickrate: 5%)Bounty Hunter
* Bounty Hunter's 
Shadow Walk is rendered useless with Corrosive Haze and makes Bounty Hunter an easy target for Slardar and his team.
Additional:
* 
Corrosive Haze provides True Sight on its target, exposing Bounty Hunter's position regardless of Shadow Walk.
* 
Guardian Sprint gives a very high movement speed bonus, allowing him to chase Bounty Hunter even if Slardar is tracked.
Death Prophet
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 3%)Bounty Hunter
* Death Prophet's 
Silence allows her to prevent Bounty Hunter from escaping with Shadow Walk.

Crypt Swarm and 
Spirit Siphon.
Undying
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)Winter Wyvern
* Winter Wyvern cannot handle the Zombies created by Undying's Tombstone very well. In most situations, Zombies will have more movement speed than her.
* Undying can gain one or two easy Decay stacks on an ally in Cold Embrace. The ally will still take the damage as well.
Additional:
* Winter Wyvern cannot handle the Zombies created by 
Tombstone very well. In most situations, Zombies will have more movement speed than her.
* Undying can gain one or two easy 
Decay stacks on an ally in Cold Embrace. The ally will still take the damage as well, since it is magical.
Viper
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 6%)Bounty Hunter
* Viper's poison abilities can slow Bounty Hunter's movement speed and allows to chase him with True Sight items.
* 
Nethertoxin can break Jinada, and the silence from level 25 prevents Bounty Hunter from using all of his spells.
Timbersaw
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 5%)Winter Wyvern
* Timbersaw relies on dealing massive amounts of pure damage, making Cold Embrace a good setup for his nukes.
* If he has 
Reactive Armor stacks, Timbersaw can tank the damage from his allies if he is targeted by Winter's Curse. If he's not the target, Timbersaw's abysmal attack damage will contribute next to nothing when he is cursed to attack an ally.

Night Stalker
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 9%)Bounty Hunter
* 
Night Stalker's 
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.

Bounty Hunter, 
Templar Assassin,

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.
Storm Spirit
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 9%)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.

[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 5%)Bounty Hunter
* 
Bristleback's 
Viscous Nasal Goo can catch and slow Bounty Hunter. 
Warpath and 
Quill Spray can defeat him quickly due to his small HP pool when compared to Bristleback's.
Lina
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 11%)Winter Wyvern
* Heavy nukers will do well against Cold Embrace (
Lina, Zeus etc).

* Heroes who rely on their target to run away: Riki, Bounty Hunter.
Lion

Skywrath Mage
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 9%)Winter Wyvern
* Cold Embrace is a perfect setup for Mystic Flare.
* Winter Wyvern is a spellcaster, and the 6 second silence from Ancient Seal can prevent her from contributing much.
* Because Skywrath Mage tends to stay back in fights, Winter Wyvern will have to get close to a teamfight to cast Winter's Curse on him. However, if she chooses to cast it on one of his allies, his low attack speed and damage means that he won't do much.
Additional:
* Cold Embrace is the perfect setup for 
Mystic Flare, and his 6-second silence is good against Winter Wyvern in general.
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.
Phantom Lancer
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 7%)Bounty Hunter
* Doppelganger dispels Track.
* Bounty Hunter also has no area of effect abilities to help with the illusions.
Winter Wyvern
* 
Broodmother, 
Nature's Prophet, Phantom Lancer by their nature offer very good target for Splinter Blast and Winter's Curse.
Ancient Apparition
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 7%)Winter Wyvern
* Cold Embrace makes its target immovable, allowing Ancient Apparition to easily land Ice Blast, or a Cold Feet stun.
* Ice Blast also negates healing from Cold Embrace.
Additional:
* 
Ice Blast disables the healing component of Cold Embrace, making it essentially a 4 second stun on an ally and a perfect setup for Ice Blast.
* If 
Cold Feet is cast on an Allied hero affected by Cold Embrace, it will almost guarantee the Ally comes out stunned.
Bounty Hunter
* Heroes with mobility/escape mechanisms to dodge Ancient Apparition abilites, or to easily jump on him: Riki, Queen of Pain, 
Phantom Assassin, 
Windranger, Bounty Hunter, 
Spirit Breaker, Night Stalker, Storm Spirit, Juggernaut, etc.
Pugna
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 4%)Winter Wyvern

* Winter Wyvern's abilities require a lot of mana, allowing 
Nether Ward to deal lots of damage.

[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 17%)Winter Wyvern
* Cold Embrace is the perfect setup for all his nukes - 
Chaos Meteor, 
EMP and especially global 
Sun Strike.
Bounty Hunter
* Bounty Hunter and 
Slardar both have ultimates (Corrosive Haze and Track) that reveal Invoker through Ghost Walk.
Clinkz
[wiki] rating: -2.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 3%)Winter Wyvern
* Cold Embrace can heal herself or an ally, as well as protecting them from Clinkz's physical attacks and wasting his mana if Searing Arrows is on autocast.
* Winter's Curse allows Winter Wyvern to turn Clinkz's high damage and high attack speed against his allies, or take advantage of Clinkz's fragility if he can't use Skeleton Walk.
Bounty Hunter
* Track reveals Clinkz if he tries to escape with Skeleton Walk, allowing Bounty Hunter to gain lots of gold if he kills Clinkz.
* 
Jinada with physical damage items can quickly kill Clinkz due to his low health.
Io
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 6%)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.
Winter Wyvern
* Cold Embrace can render the extra attack speed from Overcharge meaningless.
* Splinter Blast and Winter's Curse are very affective against Io, as it has to stay close to its tethered hero.

* Heroes with detection: Bounty Hunter, Disruptor, 
Razor, Slardar, 
Spectre, Spirit Breaker
Templar Assassin
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 8%)Bounty Hunter

Earth Spirit, Spirit Breaker, 
Tusk, Bounty Hunter, Riki, 
Warlock.
Winter Wyvern
* Many physical-only single-target heroes like Lifestealer, 
Sven, Wraith King, Phantom Assassin, Templar Assassin etc.
Sven
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 42% pickrate: 2%)Winter Wyvern
* Cold Embrace saves any ally Sven initiates on and wastes the duration of God's Strength in team fights.
* Winter's Curse can be devastating to Sven's team, as his massive damage can take out a teammate before there is much time to react.
Shadow Fiend
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 12%)Bounty Hunter
* 
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.
Additional:
* 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.
* Due to its ministun, Shuriken Toss is a good way to interrupt Shadow Fiend's long cast animation on 
Requiem of Souls.
Sniper
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 8%)Bounty Hunter
* Bounty Hunter can use Shadow Walk to get close, and Jinada can do massive damage and slow down Sniper on the first attack.

* Winter's Curse can turn Troll Warlord's high physical damage and attack speed against his allies.
Additional:

Fervor will keep gaining stacks even while Cold Embrace is active.
* His high attack speed and bash will help to kill his cursed ally faster.
Pudge
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 26%)Bounty Hunter
* Track can easily keep vision on Pudge, making it impossible to catch up with his Meat Hook for Bounty Hunter's teammates or him.
* It's very difficult for Pudge to use Rot on and hook Bounty Hunter due to Shadow Walk.
* Shuriken Toss cancels out Dismember from a good range.
Additional:
* 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 the target.
Void Spirit
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 12%)Bounty Hunter
* One hit with Jinada should be sufficient in removing Void Spirit's shield most of the time.
* Track negates much of Void Spirit's escape abilities by revealing his position and prevents him from rotating effectively.
Nyx Assassin
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Bounty Hunter

Vendetta. Keeping him Tracked prevents him from ganking, and thus from doing his job in the game.

* Winter's Curse can turn Lone Druid and the Spirit Bear against his teammates.
Riki
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 4%)Bounty Hunter
* Track reveals him while invisible and gives Riki a hard time, as it prevents much of his ganking capabilities. This can force Riki to buy

* Ursa's extremely high attack damage output with 
Fury Swipes usually means certain death for anyone cursed in his vicinity.
Meepo
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 1%)Winter Wyvern
* Winter's Curse in late game is pretty much the end for Meepo or any of his nearby allies. Natural counter for Winter's Curse like 
Linken's Sphere or 
Lotus Orb is meaningless to her if she can land it on one of your clones.
Additional:
* Meepo's clones usually gets grouped in teamfight making any of them ideal target for Winter's Curse, forcing Meepo to literally kill himself. Also unlike another hero he cannot protect himself with Linken's Sphere.
* While Meepo's clones are grouped up, Splinter Blast will hit almost every clone, slowing Meepo and making him easier to fight.
Beastmaster
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 2%)Winter Wyvern
* Cold Embrace mitigates Primal Roar's single-target initiation on allies.
* Winter's Curse can turn Beastmaster's summons and Inner Beast against his teammate.

Lycan
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 56% pickrate: 1%)Winter Wyvern
* Arctic Burn allows Winter Wyvern to escape Lycan, even when he uses his ultimate.
* Splinter Blast is very effective in dealing with Lycan's summons.
* Cold Embrace saves allies from Lycan's raw physical damage and can buy allies enough time to turn the tide of battle.
* Winter's Curse stops Lycan in his tracks and is very effective because of his summons.
Additional:

* Lycan often moves around with large amount of creeps, wolves created by 
Summon Wolves and neutral creep dominated by 
Helm of the Dominator which can be easily cleared by Splinter Blast or used as a great source of damage by Winter's Curse. If you catch Lycan with creeps nearby and affected by 
Shapeshift using Winter's Curse on him will most certainly end up with his death.

Axe
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 8%)Winter Wyvern
* Heroes who can slow and kite Axe will severely inhibit his presence in fights: Bristleback, Crystal Maiden, Batrider, 
Arc Warden, Winter Wyvern, 
Clockwerk
Phantom Assassin
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 18%)Winter Wyvern
* Many physical-only single-target heroes like Lifestealer, Sven, Wraith King, Phantom Assassin, Templar Assassin etc.
Shadow Shaman
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 8%)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.
Broodmother
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)Winter Wyvern
* Broodmother, Nature's Prophet, Phantom Lancer by their nature offer very good target for Splinter Blast and Winter's Curse.
Mirana
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 10%)Bounty Hunter
* Heroes with spells that negate invisibility such as Bounty Hunter, Zeus and Slardar prevent her from saving her allies with Moonlight Shadow.
Treant Protector
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 8%)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.
Centaur Warrunner
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 4%)Winter Wyvern
* Winter Wyvern's Arctic Burn can also be a useful tool against Centaur, who generally has very high health. Winter's Curse on Centaur can cause Retaliate to damage allies who are forced to attack him.
Ogre Magi
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 17%)Winter Wyvern
* Winter Wyvern's Winter's Curse works very well against the increased attack speed from Bloodlust.
Crystal Maiden
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 6%)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.
Underlord
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 3%)Bounty Hunter
* In general, attacks of the melee heroes who are entirely reliant on dealing physical damage and/or have very little to no area-of-effect abilities will make Underlord tickle and will have no effect against him, and will be unable to ambush Underlord and his team if Underlord chooses to use 
Dark Rift to get to a designated point of the map: Phantom Assassin, Terrorblade, 
Troll Warlord, 
Drow Ranger, Phantom Lancer, 
Chaos Knight, Sven, Wraith King, Bounty Hunter, 
Alchemist, Templar Assassin, Nyx Assassin, Bane.
Winter Wyvern
* Winter's Curse and Splinter Blast can devastate Underlord's team when they're grouped up for Dark Rift.
Legion Commander
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 13%)Bounty Hunter
* Legion Commander with Press the Attack
* Heroes that can remove the Track debuff with their skills:
* Abaddon with Aphotic Shield and Borrowed Time
* Huskar with Life Break
* Juggernaut with Blade Fury
* Legion Commander with Press the Attack
* Lifestealer with Rage and Infest
* Naga Siren with Mirror Image
* Omniknight with Heavenly Grace
* Oracle with Fortune's End and False Promise
* 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.
Winter Wyvern
* Cold Embrace saves allies from dying in Duels.
* Winter's Curse turns Legion Commander's high damage against her allies, giving the enemy team little time to react.
* However, Winter Wyvern lanes very poorly against Legion Commander due to Press the Attack removing all the debuffs she can give. Winter Wyvern also has little chances of surviving if she gets Dueled herself.
Additional:
* Cold Embrace is very effective against 
Duel.
* Also, casting Winter's Curse at Legion Commander while an ally is in a Duel will stun her for most of the duration, possibly preventing lethal damage dealt to your ally. It can also turn her high-damage against her teammate.
Spectre
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 3%)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.
Winter Wyvern
* Arctic Burn makes it nearly impossible for Spectre to juke into the trees.
* Cold Embrace negates all of Spectre's physical damage. Furthermore, Cold Embrace will generally outheal 
Desolate.
* Winter's Curse can taunt illusions, not only wasting the entire duration of Haunt but also turning its illusions against Spectre's own team.
Faceless Void
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 9%)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.
Winter Wyvern
* Any hero that can nullify effects of Chronosphere: (Keeper of the Light with Aghanim's Scepter during daytime, Winter Wyvern), banishing him or Faceless Void (Outworld Destroyer, 
Shadow Demon, Earth Spirit with Aghanim's Scepter) or protecting him in other ways (Dazzle, Oracle, Abaddon) can greatly limit Chronosphere's potential.

Chaos Knight
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 4%)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.
Winter Wyvern
* Cold Embrace protects targets of Reality Rift.
* Winter's Curse turns Phantasm illusions against Chaos Knight or a teammate.
* Splinter Blast deals decent area damage to Phantasm illusions.
* Arctic Burn's percentage-based damage quickly wears down Chaos Knight's health.
Additional:
* Winter Wyvern can make Chaos Knight's illusions attack the real one, provided the player knows who it is.
* Alternatively, Winter's Curse can make Chaos Knight and all his illusions attack one of his allies.
* Cold Embrace protects ally who is focused by Chaos Knight.
* Splinter Blast deals decent area damage to Chaos Knight's illusions.
Juggernaut
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 12%)Bounty Hunter
* Juggernaut with Blade Fury
* Heroes that can remove the Track debuff with their skills:
* Abaddon with Aphotic Shield and Borrowed Time

* 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.
Wraith King
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 17%)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.
Winter Wyvern
* Many physical-only single-target heroes like Lifestealer, Sven, Wraith King, Phantom Assassin, Templar Assassin etc.
Winter Wyvern
* Any ally that Winter Wyvern tries to save with
Cold Embrace can still be damaged by all of Zeus's spells.
Winter's Curse, his unimpressive attack damage and attack speed means they won't be hurt much by him. Zeus will also stay near the back of fights away from his allies, making a deadly Curse less likely.
* If Winter Wyvern tries to juke vision by flying up a cliff or in the trees, Zeus can gain vision there with Lightning Bolt or Thundergod's Wrath.
* If Zeus is forced to attack an ally by
Bounty Hunter
* Bounty Hunter has a very low health pool, allowing Zeus to burst him down quickly.
Shadow Walk, Zeus can gain vision of him with both Lightning Bolt and Thundergod's Wrath.
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.
* Zeus can cast Lightning Bolt to gain True Sight in any area he suspects Bounty Hunter may be invisible or any area he thinks Bounty Hunter may have warded.
* If Bounty Hunter tries to escape a gank by using
