Doom
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 3%)Winter Wyvern
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Ogre Magi
* Winter Wyvern's
Winter's Curse works very well against the increased attack speed from Bloodlust.
Clinkz
* Cold Embrace can heal herself or an ally, as well as protecting them from Clinkz' physical attacks and wasting his mana if Searing Arrows is on autocast.
* Winter's Curse allows Winter Wyvern to turn Clinkz' high damage (and high attack speed if he used Skeleton Walk) against his allies, or take advantage of Clinkz' fragility if he can't use Skeleton Walk.
Phantom Lancer
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 7%)Clinkz
* Heroes with no AoE abilities will struggle against Phantom Lancer: Clinkz,
Phantom Assassin,
Broodmother

Legion Commander
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 13%)Clinkz

* Heroes rely on their debuff to control the opponent will have a hard time against Press the Attack: Venomancer,
Earth Spirit,
Ogre Magi
Riki
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 12%)Clinkz
* Smoke Cloud prevents the use of Death Pact,
Searing Arrows and
Skeleton Walk, so Clinkz can neither defend himself against Riki nor fight back effectively.
* It's hard to gank Riki as you have to find him first.
Night Stalker
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 5%)Clinkz
* The long silence at night prevents Clinkz from escaping with invisibility if Night Stalker can sneak up on him. He also has really low base health, so Night Stalker can usually kill him alone during one cast of Crippling Fear at night.
Chaos Knight
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 4%)Ogre Magi
* Phantasm dispels Ignite and makes targeting the real Chaos Knight much harder.
Dragon Knight
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 2%)Clinkz
* The extra damage from Searing Arrows is largely blocked by Dragon Knight's armor.
Bloodseeker
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)Clinkz

Additional:

Blade Mail, and armor items.
Zeus

Lion
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 16%)Clinkz
* Hex and
Earth Spike can hold Clinkz down, giving him no chance to use
Black King Bar or Skeleton Walk.

Anti-Mage
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 14%)Ogre Magi
* Ogre Magi only deals magical damage, which Anti-Mage is exceptionally resistant due to Counterspell.
* Anti-Mage dispels Ignite with
Manta Style.

Slark,
Shadow Fiend,
Clinkz,
Bristleback

Magnus
Clinkz

Shadow Shaman,
Grimstroke,
Clinkz,
Riki,
Faceless Void,
Skywrath Mage,
Puck
Additional:

* Clinkz can easily rush an Orchid Malevolence to prevent
Blinking, although Anti-Mage can easily dispel it via
Manta Style.

Slardar
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 8%)Clinkz
* Clinkz survivability depends entirely on Skeleton Walk. Corrosive Haze not only makes its invisibility useless, but also makes Clinkz even more vulnerable to physical damage.

Bash of the Deep also hits hard against Clinkz's naturally low health pool.

* Clinkz's low health pool also makes him vulnerable to Morphling's magical nukes, especially his Ethereal Blade and
Adaptive Strike combo.
Lina
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 13%)Clinkz
* Lina's damage burst can quickly kill Clinkz before he saves them with Skeleton Walk.

* Heroes that can jump and kill him: Meepo,
Clinkz,
Templar Assassin
Tiny
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 7%)Clinkz

[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 9%)Clinkz

[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 16%)Clinkz

Ursa or
Clinkz can be a minor threat for Phantom Assassin early in the game, and may even be completely dominated by her thanks to her evasion.

Windranger,
Phantom Assassin,
Troll Warlord and
Keeper of the Light.
Lifestealer
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 5%)Ogre Magi
* Ogre Magi has nothing against Rage and his high health pool amplifies
Feast.
Additional:
* Lifestealer's Rage makes him immune to all of Ogre's magical debuffs and also dispels them.

Bloodthorn and
Scythe of Vyse.

* Corrosive Skin minimizes the damage during Ignite and Fireblast.

* Viper's Corrosive Skin provides no protection against Clinkz's physical damage output.
Crystal Maiden
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 14%)Clinkz
* 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.
Clinkz
* Heroes who can easily harass Crystal Maiden out of lane in the early game (Clinkz,
Viper) can prevent Crystal Maiden from being able to level effectively, and can ultimately slow down her level 6, 12, and 18 to a point where enemy carries already have items to address her ultimate.

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.
