Silencer
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 8%)Axe
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 10%)Dazzle
* Culling Blade ignores the protection from Shallow Grave, and will kill any target whose health is low enough. This makes Axe one of the hardest counters to Dazzle, and he neutralizes one of Dazzle's most important abilities.
Additional:
* Culling Blade kills any target under the health threshold, even through Shallow Grave.
Dark Willow
* Berserker's Call forces Dark Willow to attack, cancelling Shadow Realm.
Phantom Assassin
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 16%)Dark Willow
* Heroes with high burst damage and Black King Bar can take down Dark Willow quickly:
Phantom Assassin,
Sven,
Wraith King
Dazzle
* Dazzle's lack of a true disable makes him a relatively vulnerable target for Phantom Assassin.
* Coup de Grace will often kill Dazzle's teammates before he has a chance to use Shallow Grave.
Nyx Assassin
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 13%)Dark Willow
* Nyx Assassin's high burst damage can be the bane of Dark Willow, as her low health makes it difficult to survive long enough to escape through Shadow Realm.
* Spiked Carapace can be triggered by walking deliberately into Bramble Maze, leaving Dark Willow stunned and defenseless.
Ancient Apparition
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 9%)Dazzle
* Ice Blast negates healing from Shadow Wave, and lasts longer than Shallow Grave.
Additional:
* Shallow Grave prevents Ice Blast's shatter for up to 5 seconds, but can mostly only delay it as Ice Blast's debuff lasts 10 seconds and prevents
Shadow Wave from healing them.
Puck
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 15%)Dark Willow
* All of Puck's abilities are area-targeted, and will hit Dark Willow when she uses Shadow Realm.
* Illusory Orb allows Puck to bypass Bramble Maze, close the gap and silence Dark Willow with
Waning Rift.
* Phase Shift helps Puck dodge attacks charged by Shadow Realm, and is easily timed against Terrorize's long cast time..
Naga Siren
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)Dazzle
* Mirror Image's illusions can easily walk straight at Dazzle and attack him, due to Dazzle's lack of reliable AoE nukes or disables.
* Ensnare roots Dazzle or his allies, making it harder to stay range of Dazzle's saving abilities.
* Song of the Siren can be used to initiate a fight with superior positioning, potentially zoning Dazzle's high-impact spells out of the fight.
Storm Spirit
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 10%)Dark Willow
* Ball Lightning allow Storm Spirit to bypass Bramble Maze, and zip back into battle if he gets hit by Terrorize.
Outworld Destroyer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Dazzle
* Astral Imprisonment is a versatile nuisance:
* If it is cast on a low-enough-health unit at least 1 second into Shallow Grave's duration, the Shallow Grave will end during the imprisonment, and the target will take lethal damage when released.
* It can be used remove Dazzle from the fight at a time he could have saved someone.
* It lets himself or an ally dodge all of Poison Touch's effects, for long enough to recover their Blink Dagger.
Oracle
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 9%)Dark Willow
* 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.
Drow Ranger
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 8%)Dark Willow
* Gust can hit Dark Willow beyond a defensive Bramble Maze, and before she gets close enough to hit Drow Ranger with Bedlam.
* Drow Ranger's long range allows her to hit Dark Willow's team without venturing into her Bramble Maze.
Phantom Lancer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 7%)Dazzle
* Juxtapose and
Doppelganger conjures too many illusions for Dazzle to deal with, given he has no inherent movement- or AoE-abilities.
* Phantom Rush and
Spirit Lance allow Phantom Lancer to trivially catch Dazzle even in the back line of a fight.
* Phantom Lancer has high base armor which counters Dazzle's physcial damage based spells in lane.
Anti-Mage
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 14%)Dark Willow
* Counterspell negates Dark Willow's high magic burst damage. Its active blocks
Cursed Crown.
* Blink allows Anti-Mage to dodge Terrorize during its long cast animation, as well as avoiding the obstacles from Bramble Maze. On the other hand, if Anti-Mage gets caught inside Bramble Maze, he's unable to Blink away.
* Dark Willow's chained magic burst requires a lot of mana, setting her up for damaging Mana Voids.
Lina
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 13%)Dazzle
* Laguna Blade can kill Dazzle quickly before he casts Shallow Grave.
Ember Spirit
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 9%)Dark Willow
* Flame Guard blocks Dark Willow's magical burst damage, and harms her if she tries to get close to attack with Bedlam.
* Sleight of Fist and
Fire Remnant makes it hard for Dark Willow to fully disable Ember Spirit.
Lifestealer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 5%)Dark Willow
* Rage protects and dispels all of Dark Willow's abilities.
Additional:
* Rage protects Lifestealer from all of Dark Willow's abilities.
Bristleback
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 8%)Dark Willow
* Quill Spray's constant AoE damage will hit Dark Willow even in Shadow Realm. Its automatic damage will hurt her if she tries to get close and use Bedlam.
Broodmother
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 2%)Dazzle
* 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.
Riki
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 12%)Dark Willow
* Frail heroes who lacks mobility: Crystal Maiden,
Enigma,
Dark Willow,
Vengeful Spirit.
Additional:

Wraith King
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 20%)Dark Willow
* Heroes with high burst damage and Black King Bar can take down Dark Willow quickly:
Phantom Assassin,
Sven,
Wraith King
Death Prophet
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)Dark Willow
* Heroes who can silence will shut down Dark Willow entirely: Death Prophet,
Silencer,
Drow Ranger
Invoker
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 17%)Dazzle
* Some heroes with extreme range, like Zeus,
Invoker or
Clockwerk, can snipe your allies from anywhere after your Grave has expired.
Zeus

* Some heroes with extreme range, like Zeus,
Invoker or
Clockwerk, can snipe your allies from anywhere after your Grave has expired.
Lion
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 16%)Dazzle
* Heroes with high burst damage through their physical attacks or spells can kill Dazzle or his allies before he has a chance to use Shallow Grave. (Lina,
Lion, etc.)
Spectre
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 6%)Dazzle
* Spectre's entire ability set is designed to get to and destroy heroes that stay in the backlines, both carries (like the aforementioned Drow Ranger and
Sniper) and supports (like
Dazzle and
Shadow Shaman).
Sven
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 42% pickrate: 1%)Dark Willow
* Fragile supports who die in a few hits against Sven's high physical damage: Crystal Maiden,
Vengeful Spirit,
Dark Willow.
Juggernaut
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 19%)Dark Willow
* None of Dark Willow's spells pierce Spell Immunity, making Blade Fury a good counter against her.
* Dark Willow is generally fragile, which results in Omnislash being devastating against her.
* However, if Shadow Realm is activated during Omnislash then the attack damage is negated (though Omnislash can still jump to other enemies).
Additional:
* Blade Fury dispels most of Dark Willow's abilities, allowing Juggernaut to pass through Bramble Maze and cancel out Cursed Crown before the stun occurs.
Dazzle
* Heroes with abilities that can save are also effective such as Shadow Demon,
Dazzle,
Oracle,
Bane,
Pugna,
Tusk,
Winter Wyvern,
Io,
Underlord,
Treant Protector and
Keeper of the Light.
Faceless Void
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 43% pickrate: 7%)Dazzle
* Any hero that can nullify effects of Chronosphere: (Omniknight,
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.
Dark Willow
* Terrorize forces Faceless Void out of Chronosphere.
Spirit Breaker
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 8%)Dark Willow
* Bramble Maze stops Charge of Darkness in its tracks. Its very long duration means it can be used as an obstacle to block off an incoming Spirit Break during teamfights.
* Shadow Realm and Bedlam can be activated when Dark Willow sees Charge of Darkness coming, preventing Spirit Breaker from using
Nether Strike after the initial stun.
Dazzle
* Heroes that can slow Charge of Darkness by a huge amount: Venomancer,
Viper,
Dazzle,
Arc Warden
Bloodseeker
[wiki] rating: -1.4 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)Dazzle
* Bloodseeker's
Thirst,
Rupture, and huge AoE silence
Blood Rite can fare well against Dazzle.
Dark Willow
* Bramble Maze greatly hinders Bloodseeker's ability to run around in teamfights and pick off dying allies.
* Shadow Realm prevents Bloodseeker from attacking dark Willow, allowing her to safely teleport away.
Dazzle
* Shallow Grave prevents Bloodseeker from replenishing his health by finishing off enemies.
Mars
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 16%)Dazzle
* Heroes that can save their allies can be a big problem for Mars: Dazzle,
Omniknight.
Dark Willow
* Heroes with high magical or pure damage will bypass Bulwark: Timbersaw,
Dark Willow,
Enigma,
Invoker,
Pugna,
Skywrath Mage,
Tinker,
Zeus,
Oracle.
Terrorblade
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 5%)Dazzle
* Shallow Grave saves an ally whom Terrorblade has used Sunder on.
Meepo
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 1%)Dark Willow
* Casting Bramble Maze on top of Meepo guarantees a root, as it is nearly impossible to leave the thorns with all of Meepo's clones.
* Terrorize and Cursed Crown offer great disables against the grouped Meepos and can prevent them from using Poof to escape.
Legion Commander
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 13%)Dazzle
* Shallow Grave prevents Legion Commander from killing her opponents in Duels.
* Shadow Wave will heal an ally caught in a Duel, as well as dealing damage to Legion Commander.
Tinker
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 8%)Dazzle
* Shadow Wave provides good sustain against Tinker's spammable abilities.
* Shallow Grave can stop Tinker from bursting down a target.
Necrophos
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 4%)Dazzle
* Dazzle's Shadow Wave is a spammable healing ability that spreads around his entire team, slowing the death of his teammates as effectively as Necrophos spreads damage to them.
* If not immediately, Shallow Grave delays his ally from gradually dying to Necrophos' abilities, especially Reaper's Scythe.
Additional:
* Reaper's Scythe is very predictable and gives you plenty of time to react with Shallow Grave: just keep a close eye on allies below 50% health.
* However, be sure to use Shadow Wave on that ally immediately after, or they will die from Heartstopper Aura when the Shallow Grave ends!
Windranger
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 16%)Dark Willow
* Windrun does not protect Windranger from Cursed Crown's stun or Dark Willow's magical nukes.
* Focus Fire cannot target Dark Willow in Shadow Realm and will be interrupted if targeted earlier, wasting the ultimate.
Troll Warlord
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 10%)Dark Willow
* Dark Willow's burst damage and stun prevents Troll Warlord from approaching her until he has Black King Bar.
* Troll Warlord's lack of burst damage makes it hard for him to kill Dark Willow before she slips into Shadow Realm.
Timbersaw
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 7%)Dark Willow
* Bramble Maze prevents Timbersaw from Timber Chaining away without getting rooted.
* Cursed Crown can still catch Timbersaw if he Timber Chains away.
* Reactive Armor offers little protection against Dark Willow's high magical damage.
Venomancer
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Dazzle
* Venomancer's damage-over-time abilities are easier to heal through with numerous Shadow Waves than other types of damage, and it's simple to time a Shallow Grave until the last possible second to save a teammate from them.
Monkey King
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 18%)Dark Willow
* Shadow Realm makes it hard for Monkey King to land Jingu Mastery stacks. It also allows Dark Willow to escape from Wukong's Command.
* Terrorize can easily end Wukong's Command by forcing him to move out of the circle.
Additional:
* Terrorize forces Monkey King out of Wukong's Command.
Chen
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 0%)Dazzle
* Hand of God has a long cooldown, so damage over time spells can be hazardous for Chen, forcing him to use it prematurely: Jakiro,
Venomancer,
Viper,
Dazzle,
Phoenix.
Slark
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 13%)Dazzle
* Heroes that can deny Slark early kills will prevent him from snowballing: Dazzle,
Abaddon
Huskar
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)Dazzle
* Heroes with abilities that reduce armor will make Huskar very vulnerable: Weaver,
Dazzle,
Bristleback,
Vengeful Spirit.
Pangolier
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 8%)Dark Willow
* Heroes with powerful rooting abilities will disable most of Pangolier's skill, a bonus point if it pierce spell immunity since it will also be able to stop Pangolier during his Rolling Thunder: Treant Protector,
Meepo,
Crystal Maiden,
Dark Willow,
Underlord,
Naga Siren
Visage
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 2%)Dazzle
* Heroes with armor reducing abilities greatly hinder Visage's defense like Slardar and
Dazzle.
Clinkz
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 5%)Dazzle
* Heroes that excel at grouping up with their team very early will be able to take advantage of a Clinkz that tries to pick off heroes that are alone: Brewmaster,
Dazzle,
Tidehunter.
Clockwerk
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 7%)Dazzle
* Some heroes with extreme range, like Zeus,
Invoker or
Clockwerk, can snipe your allies from anywhere after your Grave has expired.
Dazzle

[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 3%)Dazzle
* Supports with useful teamfight or contribution spells will be helpless against Doom: Dazzle,
Oracle,
Warlock.
Additional:

Dazzle
* Heroes with the ability to heal allies, or those with good defensive abilities: (Chen,
Dazzle,
Io,
Oracle,
Omniknight,
Witch Doctor,
Winter Wyvern, (
Abaddon, etc.
Pudge
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 21%)Dark Willow
* Rot and
Meat Hook hits Dark Willow even when she uses Shadow Realm.
* Flesh Heap reduces Dark Willow's magic burst damage.
Dazzle
* Shallow Grave can be used to save an ally during Dismember and Rot.
* A combination of Bad Juju,
Poison Touch, and items like
Desolator or
Solar Crest can tear off Pudge's low armor, making him even more vulnerable to physical damage.

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.

Dark Willow
*
Last Word and
Arcane Curse have the range to hit Dark Willow beyond Bramble Maze.
Global Silence renders Dark Willow useless in teamfights.
*
Dazzle
* A well-timed
Global Silence prevents Dazzle from saving allies with Shallow Grave or Shadow Wave. Items that could dispel the silence are expensive, and difficult for Dazzle to farm from a support role.
Arcane Curse and
Last Word cause long damage over time, which may outlast Shallow Grave.
*
