Axe
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 10%)Bristleback
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 42% pickrate: 2%)Oracle
* Fortune's End cannot dispel 
Warpath stacks on Bristleback or 
Quill Spray stacks on allies.
* 
Bristleback can heavily reduce Oracle's damage output. With it, Oracle may accidentally heal Bristleback with Purifying Flames, especially if Bristleback has bonus magic resistance.
Broodmother
* Bristleback reduces most of Broodmother's and her spiderlings' damage.
* Quill Spray will hit any spiders in its proximity, hindering Broodmother's fighting and farming capabilities.
Additional:
* Quill Spray destroys spiderlings, and hits Broodmother even when she's regenerating in her webs. This makes Bristleback one of her hardest counters in lane.
Elder Titan
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)Oracle
* 
Elder Titan's 
Echo Stomp can turn into a 5 second stun on an ally under the effect of False Promise, as it delays all damage and makes it impossible to break the damage threshold of Echo Stomp.
Broodmother
* Echo Stomp can impede Broodmother's ability to push towers due to its low cooldown and long sleep duration.
* 
Astral Spirit can provide Elder Titan large amounts of damage, armor, and movement speed from her spiderlings.
* 
Natural Order negates Broodmother and her spiderling's base armor and magic resistance, increasing most damage dealt to them.
Timbersaw
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 4%)Oracle
* Heroes who are not easily crippled by Fate's Edict or Fortune's End, such as 
Timbersaw, or those who can dispel them, such as 
Phantom Lancer, can kill Oracle unhindered.
Broodmother
* 
Reactive Armor prevents Broodmother's spiderlings from being able to effectively harass Timbersaw in the lane.
* 
Timber Chain's high mobility makes Silken Bola's slow irrelevant, unless Broodmother already bought her Orchid.
* Silken Bola's miss chance doesnt affect Rizzrack that much because he does not rely on his autoattacks much.
* Timbersaw's abilities can destroy any trees that Broodmother attempts to hide in and his AoE abilities can quickly clear her Spiderlings.
Additional:
* Spiderlings deal almost no damage against Reactive Armor. They also die quickly from Timbersaw's AoE abilities.
* Broodmother has no mobility ability except the movement speed buff from 
Spin Web, allowing Timbersaw to easily escape her 
Silken Bola with Timber Chain.
* Timbersaw's tree-cutting abilities make it difficult for Broodmother to hide, especially near the edges of the map.
Phantom Lancer
[wiki] rating: 1.2 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 4%)Broodmother
* Heroes with no AoE abilities will struggle against Phantom Lancer: 
Phantom Assassin, 
Broodmother
Oracle
* Heroes who are not easily crippled by Fate's Edict or Fortune's End, such as Timbersaw, or those who can dispel them, such as Phantom Lancer, can kill Oracle unhindered.
Tidehunter
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 9%)Broodmother
* 
Kraken Shell makes Tidehunter take nearly no damage from Spiderlings.
* 
Anchor Smash kills Spiderlings in one or two casts, should Broodmother try to swarm Tidehunter with them.
Meepo
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 1%)Broodmother
* 
Earthbind prevents Broodmother from escaping Meepo's attacks.
* 
Poof will quickly clear any nearby spiders.
* Broodmother wants to pick off single target heroes. With Meepo's 
Divided We Stand, it gets a lot harder once every Meepo Poofs in.
Earthshaker
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 12%)Broodmother
* Echo Slam's damage potential increases phenomenally due to Broodmother's hordes of spiderlings and spiderites.
* Long ranged Fissures can hit Broodmother if she runs into the treeline at the edges of the map.
Additional:
* 
Aftershock in combination with 
Enchant Totem prevents Broodmother from continuing to attack Earthshaker without being repeatedly stunned.
* 
Echo Slam is greatly amplified by Spiderlings, often instantly killing Broodmother, her swarm, and anyone else unfortunate enough to be nearby.
* Earthshakers vast amount of stuns makes it difficult for Broodmother to continue attacking enemies (to continue lifestealing with Insatiable Hunger) without 
Black King Bar.
Spectre
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)Oracle
* Oracle's burst damage is not enough to take down Spectre due to 
Dispersion.
* Disarm from 
Fate's Edict does not hinder Spectre that much, since she can deal damage even without landing a single attack.
Additional:
* Oracle's burst damage is ineffective against Dispersion.
* Disarm provided by Fate's Edict is not as significant debilitation for Spectre as it might be for other carries since She can do damage even without landing attacks.
Tiny
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 13%)Broodmother
* Tiny can quickly clear Spiderlings with his active abilities and cleave.
Shadow Fiend
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 23%)Broodmother
* Spiderlings are a good source of souls for 
Necromastery and can be quickly killed with 
Shadowraze.
* Shadow Fiend is a natural Black King Bar carrier, protecting him from Incapacitating Bite.
* 
Requiem of Souls combined with 
Eul's Scepter of Divinity can potentially kill Broodmother before she gets a Black King Bar
Sand King
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)Broodmother
* Caustic Finale allows Sand King to easily kill Broodmother's Spiderlings throughout the game.
* Sand King can usually catch a split pushing Broodmother with 
Blink Dagger and Burrowstrike.
Additional:
* 
Burrowstrike can be used as an escape or initiation against Broodmother.
* 
Sand Storm quickly kills any spiderlings caught inside if Sand King can manage to stun them.
Pangolier
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 11%)Broodmother
* 
Swashbuckle can be used for Pangolier to escape or kill Broodmother's spiders. Combined with 
Lucky Shot Pangolier can potentially disarm Broodmother preventing her from lifestealing off enemies.
* 
Shield Crash can be used for wave clear to deal with Broodmother's spiders.
* 
Rolling Thunder can be used as an escape or a means of initiating on Broodmother.
Additional:
* Swashbuckle and Shield Crash quickly destroys Broodmother's spiderlings and spiderites.
* Lucky Shot's disarm is very valuable when dealing with a Broodmother during her 
Insatiable Hunger.
Storm Spirit
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 4%)Broodmother
* 
Ball Lightning and 
Electric Vortex will catch Broodmother before she has a chance to retreat, and is able to catch her through the trees.
* Conversely, Ball Lightning also allows him to easily escape Broodmother, as she has no way to prevent him from using it before getting 
Orchid Malevolence.
Kunkka
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 4%)Broodmother
* Kunkka's entire kit is great for taking out multiple units at once.
* Tidebringer's cleave will split through a wave of spiderlings.
* X Marks the Spot is great for dragging Broodmother back out of her web for Kunkka's team to set up on her.
* Torrent and Ghostship will demolish any spiderlings within the radius.
Additional:
* 
X Marks the Spot prevents Broodmother from escaping.
* 
Tidebringer can clear Broodmother's spiders if they get in range.
Alchemist
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 3%)Broodmother
* 
Greevil's Greed makes Broodmother’s spiderlings far more valuable to Alchemist making it important that he does farm them as opposed to other heroes where the spider's bounties are negligible.
* 
Acid Spray makes it difficult to attack Alchemist in lane without losing some spiderlings to the damage over time, potentially giving him farm he wouldn't have otherwise.
Additional:
* Alchemist can easily farm Spiderlings with Acid Spray and Greevil's Greed.
* Alchemist's Chemical Rage nullifies Broodmother's Insatiable Hunger
Brewmaster
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 2%)Broodmother
* Heroes who produce many summons will have a hard time against Storm's Dispel Magic during teamfight: Broodmother, 
Enigma, 
Nature's Prophet.
Clinkz
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 9%)Oracle
* Heroes who can take advantage of Oracle's low mobility or catch him out of position, such as 
Clinkz and 
Anti-Mage, can easily pick him off.
Anti-Mage
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 8%)Oracle
* Anti-Mage can withstand magical burst damage much better than other carries, making him effective against nukers: 
Lich, 
Necrophos, 
Oracle, and 
Leshrac.
Additional:
* Oracle has minimal damage potential against Anti-Mage due to 
Counterspell, and may even have some ability damage reflected at himself.
* Anti-Mage can easily overwhelm Oracle with 
Mana Break and 
Mana Void.
* 
Blink allows Anti-Mage to easily chase and take advantage of Oracle's low mobility.
Legion Commander
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 13%)Broodmother
* 
Overwhelming Odds's damage stacks with each enemy unit in its radius. If this hits Broodmother and a large number of spiders it can deal significant amounts of damage.
* 
Moment of Courage has a high chance to proc if Broodmother and all of her spiders are attacking her.
* 
Duel can keep Broodmother in place long enough for Legion's team to kill her.
Additional:
* Overwhelming Odds is great at killing many stacked up spiderlings, thus giving Legion Commander a large buff.
* Duel is a reliable way to lock down Broodmother, preventing her from running into the treeline.
Oracle
* Heroes with long disables, like 
Lion, 
Night Stalker, or 
Legion Commander, can prevent Oracle from using spells or items.
Oracle
* Fate's Edict prevents Legion Commander from attacking for a few seconds, potentially saving Oracle's ally.
* 
Fortune's End dispels Press the Attack's healing and attack speed buff, as well as the movement speed bonus from Overwhelming Odds.
* 
False Promise protects allies and prevents Legion Commander from winning Duels and gaining bonus damage.
Additional:
* Provided that the enemy team does not have an 
Axe, Oracle can guarantee that his ally survives for the duration of the Duel with False Promise and has decent nuke potential to help ally to win a Duel. He can also disarm Legion Commander with Fate's Edict.
* Oracle can dispel enemy buffs like Overwhelming Odds and 
Press the Attack with Fortune's End.
Winter Wyvern
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 6%)Broodmother
* Broodmother, Nature's Prophet, Phantom Lancer by their nature offer very good target for Splinter Blast and Winter's Curse.
Spirit Breaker
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 9%)Broodmother
* Charge of Darkness provides shared vision over its target, keeping track of heroes who rely on invisibility, mobility, or illusions: 
Riki, Broodmother, Phantom Lancer
Templar Assassin
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 4%)Oracle
* Because Oracle uses few, powerful instances of damage to kill enemies, 
Templar Assassin's 
Refraction and 
Visage's 
Gravekeeper's Cloak can absorb his burst damage.
Puck
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 7%)Broodmother
* Mass summoning heroes: Broodmother, Nature's Prophet and Enigma all have summons Puck can clear clear with Illusory Orb and Waning Rift instantly, due to their summons having low health.
Lina
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 12%)Broodmother
* Heroes with summons can find their summons eliminated easily by Lina, like Broodmother, Nature's Prophet, and 
Chen.
Additional:
* 
Light Strike Array in combination with 
Dragon Slave can easily clear Broodmother's spiders.
* 
Laguna Blade offers extensive damage that can kill Broodmother early on or before she is able to use Insatiable Hunger in attempts to salvage a fight.
Snapfire
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 10%)Broodmother
* Heroes reliant on illusions or summons: Broodmother, 
Chaos Knight, 
Naga Siren.
Dragon Knight
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 2%)Broodmother
* Broodmother's spiderlings and spiderites do almost nothing against Dragon Knight.
Additional:
* 
Breathe Fire will clear Broodmother's spiderites while significantly damaging her spiderlings and decreasing their damage output.
* 
Dragon Blood's added armor and regen mitigates the damage done by Broodmother and her spiders.
* 
Elder Dragon Form at level 2 and above applies splash damage to Dragon Knight's auto attacks.
Grimstroke
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 6%)Broodmother

Sven
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 4%)Broodmother
* Great Cleave clears Spiderlings quickly to increase gold income.
* Warcry shields Sven and his allies against Broodmother and her Spiderlings.
Additional:
* 
Great Cleave cleans up Spiderlings quicker than most spells, as it ignores their magic resistance.
* Sven is a natural Black King Bar carrier, protecting him from Silken Bola, Spawn Spiderlings and Orchid Malevolence.
* 
Warcry and 
God's Strength allow Sven to easily out-damage Broodmother.
Oracle
* Fate's Edict cripples many heroes who rely on attacks, such as Phantom Assassin, 
Sven, or 
Enchantress, without a dispel or a Black King Bar.
Faceless Void
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 11%)Oracle
* 
Time Walk and 
Backtrack allow Faceless Void to easily negate Oracle's burst damage.
* 
Time Dilation is effective against Oracle's low-cooldown spells. Although dispellable with Fortune's End, it can still catch Oracle off guard if Fortune's End is on cooldown.
Oracle
* 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.
Primal Beast
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 9%)Broodmother
* 
Spawn Spiderlings can be cleared super easily with Trample.
* Spin Web and Insatiable Hunger does not keep Broodmother alive against Primal Beast's heavy magical damage and disables.
* Silken Bola also does very little because Primal Beast is almost entirely magical damage based in the early stages of the game. (His third ability, Uproar, is used in conjunction with Trample to do massive amounts of magical damage).
Oracle
* Primal Beast really suffers against supports he cannot bully in the lane, this includes Dazzle, Shadow Demon and Oracle since they can use their respective abilities to stop Primal Beast from dealing damage, or make it hard for him to stay in range.
Void Spirit
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 7%)Broodmother
* Void Spirit's AoE damage make short work of Broodmother's spiderlings
* Broodmother cannot escape Void Spirit's mobility, even in her webs.
Additional:
* Void Spirit's AoE damage make short work of Broodmother's spiderlings
* Broodmother cannot escape Void Spirit's mobility, even in her webs.
Oracle
* Heroes that can purge his slow and disables are very difficult to go on and their team: Abaddon, Oracle.
Shadow Demon
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 2%)Oracle
* 
Disruption can protect Shadow Demon's allies from Fortune's End, preserving healing or buffs. It can also catch Oracle's allies, allowing 
Shadow Poison to be used without being dispelled.
* 
Demonic Purge prevents over-time healing during False Promise, such as Purifying Flames and 
Urn of Shadows. If he has Aghanim's Scepter, this issue can persist for longer or on multiple allies.
* It will not, however, prevent healing from instant abilities, items, or auras, making 
Mekansm a good choice against him.
Oracle
* Heroes who can dispel will be able to remove remove Soul Catcher's debuff to instantly bring the health of affected heroes back to a considerable amount: Abaddon, 
Slark, Legion Commander, Oracle.
Keeper of the Light
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 3%)Broodmother
* Illuminate wipes out Broodmother's spiders and prevents her from pushing the lane. It also gives vision to reveal where broodmother is hiding in the trees.
Oracle
* Heroes with dispels: Legion Commander, Oracle, Slark, Phantom Lancer
Enchantress
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 43% pickrate: 4%)Broodmother
* Enchantress can be easily overwhelmed with Broodmother's spiderlings from Spawn Spiderlings and Enchantress can only control one of them with 
Enchant and she has no good waveclear (Spawn Spiderlings can also kill creeps controlled with Enchant).
* However, 
Untouchable's attack speed reduction can make it difficult for Broodmother to kill Enchantress even with any form of spell immunity.
Additional:
* Enchantress's lack of AoE abilities allows Broodmother to swarm her with Spiderlings.
* Spawn Spiderlings can kill enchanted creeps.
* However, keep in mind that Untouchable makes it harder for Brood to actually hit Enchantress, even if Broodmother is spell immune.
Oracle
* Heroes with little health or magic resistance are easily picked off with Oracle's magic burst, such as 
Skywrath Mage, 
Crystal Maiden, or Enchantress.
Wraith King
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 4%)Oracle
* Heroes with area dispel can kill multiple skeletons at once: 
Brewmaster, Oracle.
Broodmother
* Broodmother can easily clear Wraith King's skeletons with Spawn Spiderlings and summon spiderlings in their place.
* With 
Diffusal Blade, Broodmother can prevent Wraith King from reincarnating unless Wraith King has his Aghanim's Shard.
Techies
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 7%)Broodmother
* Heroes with summons like Broodmother, Enigma, Nature's Prophet; or illusions, like Naga Siren, 
Terrorblade are effective at keeping the choke points and rune spawns safe from Proximity Mines.
Oracle
* Fate's Edict gives 100% magic resistance, which prevents most of Techies' damage.
* Oracle's Fortune's End dispels Reactive Tazer buff from Techies allowing him to be attacked. However, Reactive Tazer will instantly perform the area of effect disarm that is normally applied at the end of the duration.
* Fortune's End will also dispel Blast Off silence, Techies' Etheral Blade, Proximity Mines' magic resistance reduction, and Sticky Bomb's slow. However beware that it will only dispel Sticky Bomb's first or second instance of slow and not the damage, which will trigger as normal.
Additional:
* Since Techies' skills are all magical damage, casting Fate's Edict immediately upon hearing the warning sound from 
Proximity Mines and 
Blast Off! can render Oracle or an ally immune to the burst damage from these skills.
* If timed correctly, 
Remote Mines can also be countered using the same technique.
Rubick
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 22%)Broodmother
* Support heroes with low mobility can be slowed further by Incapacitating Bite, and swarmed by Spiderlings for an easy kill: 
Shadow Shaman, Visage, Dazzle, 
Rubick, Lich.
Oracle
* Oracle's high magic damage output can easily take down Rubick's low health pool.
* Because Oracle likes to combine his spells together, the only good 
Spell Steal target he gives is False Promise. This scenario can be avoided by shift queueing Fortune's End and casting it immediately, as it has no cast point, or by staying in the back line of fights if out of mana.
* As a position based hero, Rubick will have a very hard time against Fortune's End due to its absurd range and very long root duration.
Witch Doctor
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 14%)Broodmother
* Heroes with plenty of summons, such as Broodmother or Nature's Prophet can have their minions soak up most of your Paralyzing Cask.
Oracle
* It is especially easy for Oracle to negate the damage from Maledict, and even heal through it with Fate's Edict and 
Purifying Flames.
* If by some miracle an enemy is still about to die because of Maledict, he can still save him with False Promise.
Bane
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 3%)Oracle
* Heroes with strong dispels can dispel Bane's disables from their allies: Oracle, Legion Commander, 
Omniknight.
Broodmother
* Bane's single-targeted arsenal of abilities make him an easy target for Broodmother and her Spiderlings.
* Broodmother often buys Orchid Malevolence and it's upgrade 
Bloodthorn, which allows her to cancel 
Fiend's Grip, and completely shut Bane down.
Additional:
* Bane's single-targeted arsenal of abilities make him an easy target for Broodmother and her Spiderlings.
* Broodmother often buys Orchid Malevolence and it's upgrade Bloodthorn, which allows her to cancel Fiend's Grip, and completely shut Bane down.
Sniper
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 17%)Broodmother
* Sniper is completely helpless against Broodmother's abilities, and can be seriously damaged by Spiderlings in lane, especially when 
Shrapnel is on cooldown.
Oracle
* Fortune's End can catch out or impair position-based heroes with low mobility, such as 
Sniper or 
Razor.
Phantom Assassin
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 14%)Broodmother
* Heroes with illusions and summons can be hard for Phantom Assassin to deal with, as she lacks any AoE abilities to deal with them without items: Broodmother, Phantom Lancer, Chaos Knight, Naga Siren, Terrorblade.
Additional:
* Phantom Assassin's single target abilities make her very helpless against swarms of Spiderlings without 
Battle Fury.
* Because Phantom Assassin is always reliant on critical strikes, Broodmother will usually have enough time to use Spin Web to save herself.
* Silken Bola cripples Phantom Assassin greatly due to her being 100% reliant on physical attacks.
Oracle
* Fate's Edict cripples many heroes who rely on attacks, such as Phantom Assassin, Sven, or Enchantress, without a dispel or a Black King Bar.
Bounty Hunter
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Broodmother
* Heroes with very little to no area-of-effect abilities will struggle greatly against Broodmother: Sniper, Phantom Assassin, 
Nyx Assassin,

Nature's Prophet
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 4%)Broodmother
* Broodmother can destroy Nature's Prophet's Treants with Spawn Spiderlings and summon spiderlings in their place.
* Broodmother loves buying Orchid Malevolence, which can prevent Nature's Prophet from escaping with Sprout and Teleportation.
Additional:
* 
Sprout cannot protect Nature's Prophet if Broodmother puts down a web.
* Nature's Prophet's low mobility means he is defenseless against Incapacitating Bite.
* Spiderlings can absorb much of the damage from 
Wrath of Nature.
Pugna
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 2%)Oracle
* All of Pugna's damage is magical, which can get blocked by Fate's Edict's 100% magic resistance.
* Oracle has two abilities that apply a dispel, which can easily remove Decrepify on his ally or Oracle.
Batrider
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 2%)Oracle
* False Promise dispels Flaming Lasso.
* Fortune's End can root Batrider after he uses Flaming Lasso. It can also dispel Sticky Napalm and Flamebreak.
* Fate's Edict when used on a Lasso'd target will leave them immune to magical damage, making it difficult to burst them quickly before the Lasso ends.
Medusa
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 2%)Broodmother
* Webbed areas can be used to hit and run, covering distance hastily weakening her on the way and initiating ganks.
* Even though Medusa can hunt down Spiderlings easily when given enough range, after an Incapacitating Bite she will get her swarmed in no time.
* Medusa usually does not build a BKB to benefit from 
Mana Shield fully while Broodmother can fit a Diffusal Blade to burn away mana.
Additional:
* Spin Web will allow Broodmother to pick her own fights and sometimes slip away to ambush Medusa.
Viper
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 4%)Broodmother
* Viper's lack of escape and durability means he can be ran over in a laning stage by Spawn Spiderlings.
* Broodmother can bring Viper down quickly with Insatiable Hunger activated.
Dark Willow
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 5%)Oracle
* Fortune's End can easily dispel 
Cursed Crown before it times out and stuns. He can also save a stunned ally with False Promise.
* Fate's Edict can easily negate 
Bedlam's over-time damage, since the spell provides no form of control. Similarly, he can also negate the magic burst from 
Shadow Realm.
* Fortune's End can dispel the fear effect from 
Terrorize, and it can remove the root from 
Bramble Maze if you're quick enough. Be mindful that Fortune's End only dispels your allies' debuffs on the primary target.
Additional:
* Fortune's End not being disjointable is almost an ensured disable if Dark Willow tries to escape with Shadow Realm. Dispels Cursed Crown and Terrorize.
* Fate's Edict negates all her magic damage in case she catches a single hero.
* False Promise's strong dispel removes Dark Willow's disables.
Ogre Magi
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 11%)Oracle

[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 15%)Broodmother
* Broodmother can kill Invoker easily in the early game with her Spawn Spiderlings and her spiderlings.
* Broodmother is both an Orchid Malevolence and a 
Nullifier carrier. As she can farm it early, she can kill Invoker easily.
Phoenix
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)Oracle
* Phoenix does significant magic damage over time which can either be dispelled or negated by Fate's Edict.
* Since Phoenix sacrifices some of his health to cast abilities it makes him very vulnerable to Oracle's burst potential
Troll Warlord
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 2%)Oracle
* Fate's Edict can disarm Troll, rendering him useless in a teamfight, especially if he has already used Battle Trance.
* Fortune's End and Purifying Flames can provide ample magic damage to help burst down Troll Warlord quickly in the early to mid game.

Ancient Seal.
Chen

* Broodmother can easily pick off Chen's creeps with Spawn Spiderlings, and by ambushing them through terrain in her web.

Marci
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 17%)Oracle
* Fortune's End dispells Marci's

Arc Warden
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 8%)Broodmother
* None of Arc Warden's abilities are very effective against Broodmother and her spiderlings.
* A good Broodmother looks to end the match early while Arc Warden, a very item reliant hero, thrives in longer matches.
* Arc Warden has no innate disables to stop Broodmother from lifestealing with Insatiable Hunger and shredding through his relatively lower armor.

* Oracle's reliance on spamming his spells can be easily hindered by Silencer's Arcane Curse.
* Last Word and Global Silence negates Oracle's attempt to save his allies with his spells.
* Fate's Edict is useless against Glaives of Wisdom's pure damage.

* Fate's Edict can prevent Silencer from attacking, which he relies on with 
Glaives of Wisdom, for a lot of his damage.

* Fortune's End's AoE dispel will remove Heavenly Grace and Guardian Angel.

* Support heroes with low mobility can be slowed further by Incapacitating Bite, and swarmed by Spiderlings for an easy kill: Shadow Shaman, Visage, Dazzle, Rubick, Lich.
Crystal Maiden
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 18%)Oracle

Enigma
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 6%)Broodmother

Lion
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 12%)Oracle
* Heroes with long disables, like Lion, Night Stalker, or Legion Commander, can prevent Oracle from using spells or items.
Oracle
* Lion is extremely dependent on his abilities. Silences like 
Silencer's Last Word, magic resistance like Oracle's Fate's Edict, and dispels like Legion Commander's Press the Attack all make his abilities less effective.
Necrophos
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 6%)Broodmother
* 
Death Pulse can easily wipe out Broodmother's spiderlings if they're too close while also offering Necrophos a source of regeneration for Broodmother's harass in lane.
* 
Ghost Shroud prevents Broodmother or her spiderlings from damaging Necrophos temporarily.
* 
Heartstopper Aura will regenerate lost health and mana for every spiderling or spiderite Necrophos manages to kill.
Oracle
* During the laning stage, Oracle's Purifying Flames nullifies any damage that Heartstopper Aura might inflict.
* Fate's Edict and False Promise can protect an ally from Reaper's Scythe.
* Oracle can dispel Ghost Shroud with Fortune's End.
Additional:
* Fortune's End can dispel Ghost Shroud, rending Necrophos vulnerable to physical damage. Also it's worth noting that Necrophos takes additional magic damage when in Ethereal state, which makes Purifying Flames a powerful nuke against him.
* Fate's Edict fully negates the damage from 
Reaper's Scythe, which its own delayed animation makes it relatively easy to predict and nullify.
Doom
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 6%)Oracle
* Supports with useful teamfight or contribution spells will be helpless against Doom: Dazzle, Oracle, 
Warlock.
Oracle

Ember Spirit
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 8%)Broodmother
* 
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.
Oracle
* 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.
* When Ember Spirit is affected by Fortune's End, his Fire Remnants move at 0 movement speed.
* Disarming him with Fate's Edict does affect Ember's 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.
Dark Seer
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 2%)Broodmother
* Ion Shell is a very powerful weapon against Broodmother's Spiderlings and makes her laning much harder.
Additional:
* 
Ion Shell zones out Broodmother in the laning phase, and can kill her spiderlings if used on one Spiderling in a group.
* 
Vacuum can pull Broodmother out of the treeline.
Oracle
* Fortune's End dispels Ion Shell and Surge, making any gank attempt on Dark Seer in the laning phase likely to succeed.
* Fate's Edict prevents all magical damage that comes from Dark Seer's abilities.
* Fortune's End dispels Ion Shell on creeps, which Dark Seer relies on to farm and zone.
Additional:
* Fortune's End can dispel Ion Shell, which cripples Dark Seer economy since it's his most efficient tool for farming.
* Fortune's End can dispel 
Surge, effectively slowing his movement speed making him vulnerable to ganks or skirmishes.
Ancient Apparition
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Broodmother
* 
Ice Blast prevents Insatiable Hunger lifesteal, Spin Web regeneration and quickly kills spiderlings.
Oracle
* False Promise can dispel the stun from Cold Feet and can save an ally that's about to shatter from Ice Blast, even allowing healing with Purifying Flames by delaying it until after the debuff expires.
* Purifying Flames allows Oracle to deny his allies if they're affected by Ice Blast. If he brings his allies' health to or below the shatter threshold, it will count as him denying the ally. However, this does not work on Oracle himself.
* Fate's Edict provides 100% magic resistance, making it good against all of Ancient Apparition's abilities at all stages of the game.
* Fortune's End can dispel Cold Feet from allies.
Additional:
* False Promise can prevent the shatter from Ice Blast and Fate's Edict can protect an ally from the magical damage over time for a while.
* Oracle can deny allies who are frostbitten. If he uses Purifying Flames to reach the shatter threshold, it will count as a deny.
* Fortune's End can dispel 
Cold Feet on affected allies, preventing them from getting frozen.
Jakiro
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 11%)Broodmother
* Broodmother and her Spiderlings need to be very careful during the laning stage against Jakiro, as Jakiro can take down Broodmother's Spiderlings, preventing her from pushing as well as gaining a good amount of gold.
Oracle
* Fate's Edict allows Oracle to make allies spell immune, allowing him to save allies from Jakiro's spells.
* Fate's Edict can be cast onto Jakiro to disarm him and prevent him from pushing with his Liquid Fire.
* False Promise allows Oracle to free allies from Jakiro's Ice Path.
Night Stalker
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Oracle
* Heroes with long disables, like Lion, Night Stalker, or Legion Commander, can prevent Oracle from using spells or items.
Broodmother
* Heroes with illusions and summons can manfight Night Stalker: Terrorblade, 
Beastmaster, Broodmother.
Leshrac
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 10%)Broodmother
* Your AoE abilities should make quick work of her spiderlings.
Oracle
* Oracle's Fate's Edict will protect an ally from Leshrac's nuking damage.
* Oracle's False Promise can dispel Leshrac's stun and slow from his abilities, allowing an ally to escape.
* Fortune's End can stop Leshrac from chasing opponents or running away.
Visage
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 56% pickrate: 5%)Oracle
* Heroes that deal few, powerful instances of damage, like Oracle, Lion, or Sven, have a hard time breaking through Gravekeeper's Cloak.
Broodmother
* Heroes with very little to no area-of-effect abilities will struggle greatly against Broodmother: Sniper, Phantom Assassin, Nyx Assassin, Bane, Visage, Bounty Hunter.
Oracle
* False Promise will not save an ally from
Culling Blade if their health is low enough.
* Fate's Edict, offensively or defensively, does little to protect Oracle's allies from the majority of Axe's damage.
Broodmother
* Berserker's Call can catch Broodmother in her web, as well as groups of spiderlings. This is particularly effective when Broodmother attempts to push towers with her spiderlings.
Berserker's Call forces Broodmother and her spiderlings to attack, allowing for large amounts of pure damage to be done through 
Counter Helix.
* Counter Helix destroys spiderlings very quickly, and earns Axe a good deal of gold.
Additional:
*
