Jakiro
* Blink allows Anti-Mage to hunt down Jakiro, who has no way to escape.
* Counterspell protects Anti-Mage against all of Jakiro's magic damage.

Queen of Pain, and
Phantom Assassin to prevent them from escaping, provided that they don't have any basic dispels.

Legion Commander
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 12%)Death Prophet
* Duel is a great initiation to kill Death Prophet before she can cast Exorcism. Furthermore, Legion Commander often builds
Blade Mail and can reflect Exorcism's damage to kill Death Prophet easily.
Silencer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 6%)Jakiro
* Silencer's Last Word and
Global Silence prevents Jakiro from casting any spell.
* A carry Silencer can easily take down a support Jakiro with his Glaives of Wisdom.
Bristleback
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 8%)Jakiro
* Macropyre's frequent damage ticks causes Bristleback to activate repeatedly, resulting in free damage as long as Bristleback faces away from Jakiro.
Shadow Fiend
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 18%)Death Prophet
* Shadowraze (Near),
Shadowraze (Medium), and
Shadowraze (Far) can hit hard in the early stages of the game, and due to Shadow Fiend's high attack damage, most of Death Prophet's last hits will be denied in the laning phase. Additionally,
Requiem of Souls can deal massive damage or kill Death Prophet at the start of team fights in combination with
Eul's Scepter of Divinity or
Shadow Blade.
Doom
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 2%)Death Prophet
* Doom can stop Death Prophet from casting spells, which makes her useless during team fights if she didn't cast Exorcism before the fight. Furthermore, Doom can use
Scorched Earth to chase after her.
Sven
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 1%)Death Prophet
* God's Strength allows Sven to take down Death Prophet quickly, reducing the damage dealt over time from Exorcism.

* Heroes with long cast animations can be continuously interrupted by Battery Assault: Centaur Warrunner,
Jakiro,
Leshrac,
Naga Siren,
Underlord.
Additional:
* Battery Assault prevents Jakiro from casting spells as all his spells have very long cast times.
* Jakiro is also an easy target for Clockwerk's Hookshot + Power Cogs combo, as he has little mobility and no escape.
* Alternatively, if the enemy Clockwerk traps one of his own allies or Jakiro's allies in the cogs, it gives Jakiro an ideal setup to punish Clockwerk and his ally or to save Jakiro's ally, respectively.
Bane
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 3%)Death Prophet

Death Prophet
* Silence will prevent Chen from activating Hand of God.
* Crypt Swarm and
Exorcism can clear Chen's creeps and heavily damage Chen.

[wiki] rating: -2.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 7%)Jakiro
* Jakiro's Macropyre can help him to escape from Sprout and can disrupt Nature's Prophet's jungling.
* Jakiro can disrupt Nature's Prophet's escape attempt with Teleportation with Ice Path.
Additional:
* Jakiro's skill arsenal can ruin Nature's Prophet's gameplay: Dual Breath and Liquid Fire can clear treants from Nature's Call while simultaneously slowing Nature's Prophet, Ice Path can disrupt Nature's Prophet's escaping attempt with
Teleportation and Macropyre can not only clear treants from
Nature's Call, but also can free Jakiro from
Sprout.
Death Prophet
* Crypt Swarm helps clear treant pushes.
* Silence prevents Nature's Prophet from using Sprout or Teleportation.
* Exorcism kills all treants.

* Death Prophet abilities disables Earthshaker's Blink Dagger.
* Silence can be used to silence Earthshaker after he blinks in, preventing him from executing his combo.
Jakiro
* Both Ice Path and
Macropyre are the good setup while Earthshaker after blinking in and stay out of Echo Slam initiation radius.
* Liquid Fire damage over time potentially disable Earthshaker's
Blink Dagger.
Crystal Maiden
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 14%)Jakiro
* Ice Path allows Jakiro to easily cancel Freezing Field.
* Freezing Field makes Crystal Maiden an easy target for all of his abilities without a Black King Bar.
* With the talent for Macropyre dealing Pure Damage and ignoring spell immunity, Black King Bar becomes nearly useless for Crystal Maiden, as its high damage over time and long duration will force Crystal Maiden to forcefully cancel Freezing Field.
Death Prophet
* In the same vein, heroes with silences — especially with the AoE ones like Death Prophet's
Silence — can also prevent Crystal Maiden from being able to impact a fight.
Slark
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 13%)Death Prophet
* Heroes with silencing abilities can be particularly deadly when Slark is trying to escape: Silencer,
Death Prophet,
Puck,
Doom
Jakiro
* Heroes with AoE abilities will hit Slark in Shadow Dance: Lina,
Jakiro,
Underlord,
Leshrac,
Dark Seer,
Earthshaker,
Timbersaw,
Crystal Maiden
Magnus
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 4%)Jakiro
* Jakiro's abilities deal damage over time, which can disrupt Magnus's attempts to initiate with Blink Dagger and Reverse Polarity.
* Macropyre not only disables Blink Dagger for a considerable duration, but can also destroy Trees, revealing Magnus's cover and position.
Meepo
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 1%)Jakiro
* All of Jakiro's skills are Area of Effect, which can easily affect all Meepos in a targeted area.
Brewmaster
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 1%)Death Prophet
* Exorcism kills Primal Split's units very quickly.
Lone Druid
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 1%)Death Prophet
* Lone Druid during True Form and the Spirit bear has high HP, meaning Spirit Siphon can be very effective against them since they deal percentage damage
Axe
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 9%)Jakiro
* Axe is a hero that is very vulnerable against magical nuke damage and disables, Jakiro is perfect against him with all of his spells.
Additional:
* Ice Path neutralizes initiation attempts with Berserker's Call, and its long area of effect discourages follow-ups from Axe's teammates.
* Ice Path serves as a large obstacle to stop Axe from chasing down fleeing stragglers to kill with Culling Blade.
* Jakiro's many damage-per-second skills prevent Axe from initiating with his Blink Dagger.
Queen of Pain
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 9%)Death Prophet
* Silence will prevent Queen of Pain from using Blink to escape or chase.
* If Queen of Pain uses Blink to close the gap to Death Prophet, Death Prophet will be in range for Spirit Siphon and typically gain an advantage over Queen of Pain.
Techies
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 7%)Death Prophet
* Exorcism's ghosts will automatically clear all Proximity Mines revealed when Death Prophet walks near them, provided that the ghosts do not have a specific target at that time.
Timbersaw
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 7%)Death Prophet
* Because Timbersaw relies heavily on his spells to deal damage, Silence can easily disable him in a team fight.
* Exorcism's spirits do not count as regular attacks, and will not add stacks of Reactive Armor.
Invoker
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 16%)Death Prophet
* Quas-Exort Invoker is also a good matchup due to the fact he has no Wex to run faster due to the movement impairment on his stealth. The
Forge Spirit and
Cold Snap combo doesn't harm her as well since you can drain Invoker's HP with Spirit Siphon which forces him to retreat.
* Silence also prevents Invoker from using Invoke or casting his main spells temporarily. There is no way Invoker can block it unless he has
Eul's Scepter of Divinity to cyclone himself or has help from allies.
Phantom Lancer
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 9%)Jakiro
* Dual Breath slows down Phantom Lancer and his illusions.
* Liquid Fire will not only deal AoE damage but also lowers Phantom Lancer's attack speed.
* An Ice Path and
Macropyre combo can easily clear all of Phantom Lancer's illusions.
Additional:
* Jakiro's spells inflict AoE damage, meaning he can take down Phantom Lancer's illusion army very quickly.
Chaos Knight
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 3%)Jakiro
* With his AoE damage, Jakiro can easily kill Chaos Knight's Phantasm illusions.
* Chaos Knight usually doesn't buy a Black King Bar, making him vulnerable to an Ice Path into Macropyre combination.
Additional:
* Ice Path and
Macropyre punish Reality Rift with a long stun and heavy damage across all illusions.
Templar Assassin
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Jakiro
* All of Jakiro's active skills can be targeted on an area, which is effective at forcing Templar Assassin to move should she Meld away.
* Many of Jakiro's spells utilize damage-over-time mechanics, which makes it easy to strip away layers of Refraction.
Void Spirit
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 13%)Death Prophet
* Spirit Siphon and
Exorcism can damage through his
Resonant Pulse shields.
* Silence can prevent Void Spirit escape or contributing much in fights.
Treant Protector
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 5%)Jakiro
* With Dual Breath, Liquid Fire and Macropyre Jakiro can quickly remove all Living Armor from a target.
* Ice Path allows Jakiro to prevent Treant Protector from using Overgrowth while staying at a safe distance.
* Macropyre destroy trees, which where Treant protector might be hiding
Bounty Hunter
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 10%)Death Prophet
* Death Prophet's Silence allows her to prevent Bounty Hunter from escaping with Shadow Walk.
* If Bounty Hunter cannot escape with Shadow Walk while affected by Silence, she will be able to burst him down with
Crypt Swarm and
Spirit Siphon.
Broodmother
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 56% pickrate: 2%)Jakiro
* 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.
Spectre
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 3%)Jakiro
* Jakiro's early pushing ability from Liquid Fire makes Jakiro very strong against heroes, that take a long time to get online: Morphling,
Naga Siren,
Spectre.
Morphling
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 13%)Death Prophet
* Heroes that can kill Death Prophet with nukes can prevent her from using Exorcism to its full duration or using it at all: Lina,
Lion,
Puck,
Morphling.
Jakiro
* Jakiro's early pushing ability from Liquid Fire makes Jakiro very strong against heroes, that take a long time to get online: Morphling,
Naga Siren,
Spectre.
Death Prophet
* Heroes with silencing abilities that are not blocked by Linken's Sphere, like Puck's
Waning Rift,
Death Prophet's
Silence or
Silencer's
Global Silence.
Additional:
* While Morphling can burst her down with Adaptive Strike (Agility), Death Prophet does have tools to disrupt him. A Morphling affected by
Silence makes it unable to use
Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) to increase its health pool or use
Waveform to escape.
Pudge
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 19%)Death Prophet
* High health heroes like Pudge and
Undying gain strength by using abilities. Focusing them with Spirit Siphon can let you heal more health and deal more damage to them.
Zeus
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 8%)Death Prophet
* As a spellcaster, silences will nullify him entirely. Some notable examples are Death Prophet,
Drow Ranger,
Bloodseeker,
Disruptor and many others.
* Doom, as usual, fits this description nicely.
Additional:
* His low mobility tends to make him an easy target for Spirit Siphon and the ghosts from Exorcism.
* His magical nukes can also be healed with Spirit Siphon.
* Silence is great against any spellcaster, and Zeus is no exception to this.
Io
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 4%)Death Prophet
* Heroes that are hard to gank: Axe,
Death Prophet,
Phantom Lancer
Batrider
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 4%)Death Prophet
* Death Prophet is a terrible Flaming Lasso target if
Exorcism has already been used, since it can still damage Batrider and his teammates, but if Batrider manages to Lasso her before that, it can lead to
Death Prophet being quickly burst down.
Storm Spirit
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 11%)Death Prophet
* Any heroes with stuns or silences: Death Prophet,
Lion,
Shadow Shaman,
Skywrath Mage
Undying
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)Death Prophet
* High health heroes like Pudge and
Undying gain strength by using abilities. Focusing them with Spirit Siphon can let you heal more health and deal more damage to them.
Luna
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 4%)Death Prophet
* A couple of long-range heroes with excellent laning like Mirana,
Lina,
Necrophos,
Death Prophet. The key to success is sticking together and attacking Luna whenever she enters the range, without even giving Luna a chance to retaliate. Multiple long-range heroes is a reason to pick another hero.
Phoenix
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 9%)Death Prophet
* Silence (and mana burns) will be a persistent problem for Phoenix, as it is heavily reliant on its abilities whether defensively or offensively, so heroes like Death Prophet,
Skywrath Mage, and even
Nyx Assassin must be closely observed to prevent being shut down by these heroes.
* Hexes are a greater threat to Phoenix as they also disable items, preventing Phoenix from dispelling the debuff on its own.
Naga Siren
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 2%)Jakiro
* Jakiro's early pushing ability from Liquid Fire makes Jakiro very strong against heroes, that take a long time to get online: Morphling,
Naga Siren,
Spectre.
Dark Willow
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 7%)Death Prophet
* Heroes who can silence will shut down Dark Willow entirely: Death Prophet,
Silencer,
Drow Ranger
Outworld Destroyer
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 17%)Death Prophet
* Any heroes with silences can negate the majority of Outworld Devourer's damage output: Death Prophet,
Night Stalker,
Drow Ranger,
Doom .
Shadow Shaman
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 17%)Death Prophet
* With 4 active abilities, Shadow Shaman is weak against silencing foes such as silencer,
Drow Ranger and
Death Prophet.
Warlock
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 5%)Death Prophet
* Because all of Warlock's abilities are active abilities, silences can make his impact in fights minimal. Be cautious of heroes that carry silences like Death Prophet,
Puck, and the aforementioned
Silencer.
Visage
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 1%)Jakiro
* Heroes with damage over time abilities can quickly eat through Gravekeeper's Cloak charges like Huskar,
Jakiro and
Queen of Pain.
Night Stalker
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 5%)Death Prophet
* Heroes that can punish aggressive heroes, such as: Leshrac,
Shadow Demon,
Pugna,
Death Prophet.
Riki
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 13%)Death Prophet
* Riki is another good hero to shutdown Death Prophet with
Diffusal Blade as his core item. His
Smoke Screen stops her from initiating and casting spells.
Jakiro
* Riki can easily be caught in an Ice Path and Macropyre combo as he finishes Tricks of the Trade.
Puck
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 17%)Death Prophet
* Heroes that can kill Death Prophet with nukes can prevent her from using Exorcism to its full duration or using it at all: Lina,
Lion,
Puck,
Morphling.
Jakiro
* Jakiro has 3 damage over time spells, 2 of which are from debuffs on Puck (Dual Breath and
Liquid Fire) and 1 affecting an entire area (
Macropyre), making it easy for him to disable the blink dagger.
* Ice Path is also strong against Puck, as he can cast it towards Puck during Phase Shift, who then gets instantly stunned once Phase Shift ends.
Phantom Assassin
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 15%)Jakiro
* 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.
Death Prophet
* In early to mid stage, Silence is also a great way to counter escape oriented heroes such as Anti-Mage,
Queen of Pain, and
Phantom Assassin to prevent them from escaping, provided that they don't have any basic dispels.
Windranger
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 17%)Jakiro
* Heroes with good counter-push abilities to clear creep waves can hinder Jakiro's early pushing ability: Death Prophet,
Sniper,
Tinker,
Windranger.
Death Prophet
* Windranger heavily relies on her abilities for any form of tactical advantage and damage. A well timed silence will make her useless: Puck,
Silencer,
Death Prophet,
Skywrath Mage,
Drow Ranger,
Earth Spirit,
Grimstroke.
To start select enemy heroes in the field above. It's intended to be used with multiple heroes. The more enemy heroes you provide the better results you will get.
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.
