Clockwerk
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 7%)Lion
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 17%)Drow Ranger
* Drow has a very low health pool, allowing Lion to burst her down.
* Drow has no innate escape mechanism, making her an easy target for Lion's disables.
* Lion should be wary of Drow's Gust however, as he has no natural means to deal with it.
Elder Titan
* With a lot of disables with good range, he might cancel your Echo Stomp.
* Mana Drain can be used to drain Elder Titan's already low mana pool.

Drow Ranger
* Range-reliant heroes: Sniper,
Drow Ranger
Warlock
[wiki] rating: 1.2 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 4%)Drow Ranger
* While heroes with strong mobility able to get close/flee or long range disables do well against him, heroes with no escaping abilities/lacking long disables will perish against Warlock. Once the {U:Warlock Golem} lands with its stun, its hardly possible to escape when he casts Upheaval. Just watch your pet burn the enemies as they try running away or blow their strongest abilities to stop your {U:Warlock Golem}. Notable examples:
Huskar,
Drow Ranger,
Lion,
Elder Titan, etc.

Lycan
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 3%)Drow Ranger
* Shapeshift allows Lycan to get close and disable Marksmanship.
* Shapeshift also makes him immune to slows like Drow Ranger's Frost Arrows.
Additional:
* The Wolves' speed causes the knockback from Gust to be ineffective.
* She lacks escapes and loses her Marksmanship when someone is near her. Lycan takes advantage of these weaknesses.
Razor
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 6%)Drow Ranger

[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 7%)Drow Ranger
* Nyx Assassin has a lot of burst damage from his Impale,
Mana Burn,
Dagon, and the bonus damage from
Vendetta. All of this damage is enough to kill Drow Ranger.
* Nyx Assassin is usually invisible most of the time thanks to his ability Vendetta, which allows him to gank Drow Ranger easily.
Arc Warden
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 4%)Drow Ranger
* Magnetic Field cause attacks from Drow Ranger outside to miss, forcing Drow Ranger to go inside the field, nullifying marksmanship.
Additional:
* Magnetic Field protects Arc Warden and allies from Drow Ranger's ranged attacks. She most likely will not enter the field since she will lose Marksmanship's bonus agility.
* Beware however, as Marksmanship procs will still hit since they have True Strike, so the most damaging arrows will still hit you inside Magnetic Field.
Huskar
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 3%)Drow Ranger
* Life Break closes the distance between Huskar and Drow Ranger, dealing large amounts of damage and disabling Marksmanship.
* Berserker's Blood and
Burning Spear allow Huskar to beat Drow Ranger directly and pile on damage.
Chaos Knight
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 3%)Drow Ranger
* Reality Rift will disable Drow Ranger's Marksmanship, along with
Chaos Bolt he can keep her locked for enough time to be killed.
* Phantasm's illusions are hard for Drow Ranger to deal with as she lacks of AoE damage.
Io
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 7%)Drow Ranger
* Drow Ranger's lack of escape abilities makes her an easy target for Relocate ganks.
Tusk
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 13%)Drow Ranger

* Walrus PUNCH! slows Drow Ranger and deals a huge amount of damage to her.
Brewmaster
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 1%)Elder Titan
* {U:Earth} has passive Spell Immunity, allowing him to walk into the Echo Stomp radius to stun Elder Titan with his
Hurl Boulder.
* {U:Storm}'s Cyclone can cancel the channeling of Echo Stomp and take Elder Titan out of the fight for {show:A|Storm|Cyclone|value2} seconds.
Treant Protector
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)Drow Ranger
* Another hero heavily based on attacks and no mobility, being an easy prey for Treant strong disarms and motion reduction skills.
Sniper
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 6%)Drow Ranger
* Take Aim allows Sniper to outrange Drow Ranger and deal damage at her without much fear of retaliation
* Sniper can slow down Drow Ranger with Shrapnel, and both Shrapnel and
Assassinate makes it easier for Sniper's team to track and take her down
Additional:
* Somewhat like Medusa, Drow Ranger is a fairly immobile hero that hopes to be able to attack without dying. Sniper should outrange her.
* Shrapnel and Assassinate provides vision over her, and slows her down, making it easier for you team to focus on taking her down
* Be careful however that if she starts attacking you, she packs a bigger punch than you thanks to Marksmanship.
Earthshaker
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 12%)Elder Titan
* All of his spells can stun Elder Titan and interrupt Echo Stomp's channeling thanks to Aftershock.
* Fissure is particularly good for that purpose thanks to its long range.
* Elder Titan relies heavily on his spells and a chain-stun combo will usually be followed by certain death.
Lich
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 10%)Elder Titan
* Frost Shield helps offset the armor reduction from Natural Order.
Riki
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 5%)Drow Ranger
* Blink Strike gets Riki close to Drow Ranger and disable Marksmanship.
* Smoke Screen makes Drow Ranger miss her attacks.
* Cloak and Dagger lets Riki stay close to Drow Ranger without her noticing, disabling Marksmanship.
Additional:
* With Blink Strike, Riki can get close to Drow Ranger and disable her Marksmanship, and Smoke Screen will prevent her from using
Gust.
Omniknight
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 1%)Drow Ranger
* In team fights, Guardian Angel renders Drow Ranger's physical damage useless.
Legion Commander
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 11%)Drow Ranger
* Drow Ranger's low mobility and lack of defensive abilities makes her an easy gank target in the early to mid-game.
* A Dueling Drow Ranger will lose her precious Marksmanship, reduce her damage output significantly and will more likely lose that Duel.
Spectre
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 3%)Drow Ranger
* Spectre can easily close the distance on Drow Ranger with Haunt and stick on her with
Spectral Dagger, negating the bonus agility from
Marksmanship.
Queen of Pain
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 9%)Drow Ranger
* Often you can burst Drow Ranger down before she has a chance to try and Gust you away. Try to have a teammate bait her
Gust out before you Blink and get the drop on her.
Pudge
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 19%)Drow Ranger
* Meat Hook brings Drow Ranger to Pudge, disabling Marksmanship and dealing a huge amount of damage.
* Rot keeps Pudge close to Drow Ranger, continuously disabling Marksmanship.
Additional:
* Meat Hook can pull Drow Ranger to Pudge, disabling her Marksmanship.
* Following up with Dismember will prevent Drow Ranger from using Gust or
Shadow Blade.

Faceless Void
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 41% pickrate: 3%)Drow Ranger
* Time Walk could be used to close the distance within Drow Ranger, hindering her Marksmanship bonus.
* Faceless Void could lock down Drow Ranger with Chronosphere before she has the chance to retaliate due to her low health pool.
Bane
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 3%)Drow Ranger
* Low-health, normally mobile carries with a lot of damage are vulnerable to Bane's nukes and disables: Anti-Mage,

* Heroes with weaker mobility will struggle to keep up with Night Stalker: Gyrocopter,
Ursa,
Drow Ranger
Underlord
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 7%)Drow Ranger
* Underlord can not only cancel Marksmanship's aura, but his Atrophy Aura also decreases Drow Ranger's attack damage.
Additional:
* Atrophy Aura reduces Drow Ranger's damage significantly, as she relies on agility.
Spirit Breaker
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 8%)Drow Ranger
* Generally, heroes that can close the gap on Drow Ranger to cancel her Marksmanship such as Phantom Assassin,
Spirit Breaker, and
Tusk are effective at limiting her power and bursting her down.
Templar Assassin
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Drow Ranger
* Fragile carries with no reliable escaping mechanism can be bursted down in no time: Sniper,

Anti-Mage,

Drow Ranger,
Luna,
Sniper,
Troll Warlord,
Weaver,
Clinkz.
Shadow Demon
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 2%)Drow Ranger
* Heroes with high physical damage output but lack of reliable escape mechanisms are always a good target for a solo gank: Sniper,
Shadow Fiend,
Troll Warlord,
Drow Ranger. Those heroes, however, are dangerous if they manage to close the gap, so take caution.
Phantom Assassin
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 16%)Drow Ranger
* Generally, heroes that can close the gap on Drow Ranger to cancel her Marksmanship such as Phantom Assassin,
Spirit Breaker, and
Tusk are effective at limiting her power and bursting her down.

[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 8%)Drow Ranger
* Berserker's Call forces Drow Ranger to attack Axe up close, disabling her Marksmanship bonus.
* Counter Helix occurs more often with Drow Ranger's high attack speed.
* Culling Blade is a dangerous ability against a low health hero like Drow Ranger.
Drow Ranger
* Ranged heroes that can easily harass Axe: Drow Ranger,
Sniper,
Lion.
Dragon Knight
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 4%)Drow Ranger
* Dragon Knight has no built in disengage from Frost Arrows, and
Marksmanship procs ignore base armor, bypassing Dragon Knight’s tankiness for the most part, making Drow one of the few heroes that can deal enough sustained damage to solo kill Dragon Knight.
* With Aghanim's Shard, Frost Arrows also apply hypothermia stacks, reducing her target’s regen, which is especially potent against tanks like Dragon Knight. (A similar effect can also be achieved with an
Eye of Skadi)
Additional:
* Dragon Knight has no built in disengage from Frost Arrows, and
Marksmanship procs ignore base armor, bypassing Dragon Knight’s tankiness for the most part, making Drow one of the few heroes that can deal enough sustained damage to solo kill Dragon Knight.
* With Aghanim's Shard, Frost Arrows also apply hypothermia stacks, reducing her target’s regen, which is especially potent against tanks like Dragon Knight. (A similar effect can also be achieved with an
Eye of Skadi)
Elder Titan
* Elder Titan's
Natural Order completely nullifies Dragon Knight's high armor.
Terrorblade
[wiki] rating: -1.4 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 4%)Drow Ranger
* Heroes with high base damage (Morphling,
Tiny,
Drow Ranger), heroes with mana burning abilities (
Anti-Mage), and
Diffusal Blade users (
Juggernaut or
Riki) will suffer from Reflection's illusions.
Elder Titan
* Terrorblade has a high base armor, and relies on many ultimate orb-based items (Manta Style and
Eye of Skadi). Natural Order affects armor gained from agility, essentially reducing armor to zero if all armor is gained from agility. That effect combined with Terrorblade's low health can make a Elder Titan with an early value point in Natural Order a dangerous foe.
* Terrorblade's illusions are often grouped up in teamfight, making them more vulnerable to Echo Stomp.
Additional:
* Echo Stomp and
Astral Spirit allow the enemy team to coordinate a kill on Terrorblade before he can Sunder.
* Natural Order cripples Terrorblade's armor that he crucially needs to survive due to his low strength gain.
Drow Ranger
* Marksmanship allows Drow Ranger to pierce Terrorblade's high natural base armor. Since Terrorblade doesn't like to buy armor items like
Assault Cuirass, that makes him very vulnerable to Drow.
Crystal Maiden
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 14%)Drow Ranger
* Heroes with low health and low armor: Clinkz,
Crystal Maiden.
Elder Titan
* In general, heroes with AoE or long range disables (such as Faceless Void with
Chronosphere,
Pudge with
Meat Hook and
Elder Titan with
Echo Stomp) hinder Crystal Maiden, preventing her from using Freezing Field to help her team in a fight.
Nature's Prophet
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 5%)Elder Titan
* Astral Spirit can give Elder Titan a lot of damage and movement speed if Nature's Prophet stands close to his treants.
* Not only Echo Stomp can also prevent Nature's Prophet to escape Teleportation, but also, Elder Titan can also use
Astral Spirit to bypass Sprout and use its own
Echo Stomp.
* Aghanim's Scepter upgraded
Earth Splitter can clear Nature's Prophet's treants and disarm him simultaneously, which can shutdown his pushing.
Meepo
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 1%)Elder Titan
* Meepo lacks the disengages to escape a well-timed Echo Stomp, in particular if Elder Titan is his current target.
* Clones are counted as heroes, increasing massively the power of Astral Spirit's buffs, including Aghanim's Scepter's spell immunity buff.
* Meepo relies heavily on high agility and his mediocre strength gain makes him a very prized target for Natural Order.
* Meepo and his clones like to group up to hunt and kill in teamfights or ganks and can be easily disabled together with Echo Stomp.
Additional:
* Echo Stomp can completely disable multiple Meepos for 5 seconds.
* Astral Spirit will affect Meepo clones, as they don’t count as illusions. Elder Titan can receive a massive amount of damage, armor and movement speed from each Meepo.
* With Natural Order, Elder Titan’s mere existence causes Meepo to be disadvantaged, due to the aura that completely negates his base armor and magic resistance. Combining
Astral Spirit with Natural Order allows Elder Titan to easily kill any Meepo within a second, depending on how much damage he gains from Astral Spirit.
* Earth Splitter deals over 30%/40%/50% of each Meepo’s max hp, and is even stronger if the Meepos are near Elder Titan due to Natural Order.
Rubick
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 16%)Drow Ranger
* A well-timed Gust will prevent Rubick from casting abilities from Spell Steal, and his lack of capabilities and low health pool usually dies very quickly.
* Drow Ranger can dispel Fade Bolt's reduction debuff with
Manta Style.
Ember Spirit
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 9%)Drow Ranger
* Ember Spirit greatly relies on his spells to engage in battle. Drow Ranger can simply silence him with Gust and make him useless for a few seconds, which Ember Spirit cannot afford during a teamfight.
Viper
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 6%)Elder Titan
* Viper is an agility hero, and his item build mostly includes agility items, so Natural Order can be devastating, removing all armor and greatly decreasing the effectiveness of Corrosive Skin, weakening Viper's magic resistance. Additionally, Echo Stomp and Earth Splitter deal both magical and physical damage, and can help bringing Viper down fast.
* Aghanim's Scepter may be necessary to take Viper down due to
Nethertoxin's break.
Monkey King
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 16%)Drow Ranger
* A well timed Gust will push Monkey King off a tree while also silencing him.
* A well placed Multishot will hit Monkey King in the trees, perhaps making it possible to finish a kill after he jumps into the trees.
* Marksmanship procs ignore the extra armor granted by
Wukong's Command, and with a
Dragon Lance, Drow can usually hit Monkey King without entering the field of clones, even disregarding any
Black King Bar he may have bought.
* A well placed Gust can push Monkey King out of
Wukong's Command, ending it prematurely.
Additional:
* A well timed Gust will push Monkey King off a tree while also silencing him.
* A well placed Multishot will hit Monkey King in the trees, perhaps making it possible to finish a kill after he jumps into the trees.
* Marksmanship procs ignore the extra armor granted by
Wukong's Command, and with a
Dragon Lance, Drow can usually hit Monkey King without entering the field of clones, even disregarding any
Black King Bar he may have bought.
* A well placed Gust can push Monkey King out of
Wukong's Command, ending it prematurely.
Weaver
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 13%)Drow Ranger
* A well-timed Gust will prevent Weaver from escaping, and a silenced Weaver usually dies very quickly.
* Precision Aura easily removes The Swarm beetles or counteracted by
Shadow Blade/
Silver Edge.
Additional:
* A well-timed Gust followed by
Frost Arrows will prevent Weaver from escaping with Shukuchi. A Weaver silenced for more than 3 seconds usually dies very quickly.
* Due to her high attack speed, Drow Ranger can easily kill The Swarm beetles.
Chen
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 0%)Elder Titan
* Elder Titan's Astral Spirit ability gives him bonus damage for each converted creep it passes through.
* Echo Stomp and
Earth Splitter will often kill him or any of his allies quickly before he has time to use Hand of God.
Dark Willow
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 7%)Drow Ranger
* 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.
Magnus
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 4%)Elder Titan
* Any hero who can counter-initiate in anticipation without getting caught in Reverse Polarity: Sven,

Tiny
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 5%)Drow Ranger
* Long ranged heroes like Sniper or
Drow Ranger can kite Tiny effectively if he doesn't get the jump on them first.
Medusa
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 2%)Drow Ranger
* Heroes that build Diffusal Blade or can fit it well into their item build will also make Medusa much less tanky:
Riki,
Naga Siren,
Terrorblade,
Juggernaut,
Spectre,
Slark,
Drow Ranger.
Zeus
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 8%)Drow Ranger
* 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.
Techies
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 8%)Elder Titan
* Slow heroes that have a hard time escaping the Echo Stomp radius: Crystal Maiden,
Pudge,
Techies.
Silencer
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)Drow Ranger
* Heroes who rely on passive abilities and attacks, such as Drow Ranger,
Wraith King, and
Lone Druid, can render Silencer useless. In addition, he doesn't like going for neither break nor disarm items.

* Powerful physical hitters that can destroy Pangolier during his rolling from afar: Drow Ranger,
Sniper,
Templar Assassin,
Arc Warden
Venomancer
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 5%)Drow Ranger

Clinkz,
Drow Ranger,
Lina,
Mirana,
Nature's Prophet,
Pugna and
Sniper.

Invoker
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 16%)Drow Ranger
* Heroes with silence: Death Prophet,
Riki,
Drow Ranger.
Oracle
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 10%)Elder Titan
* 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.
Luna
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 7%)Drow Ranger
* Every hero that can withstand or prevent Eclipse at level 7: Juggernaut,
Riki,
Clockwerk,
Drow Ranger,
Abaddon,
Faceless Void,
Weaver,
Outworld Destroyer.
Windranger
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 16%)Drow Ranger
* 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.
Outworld Destroyer
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 13%)Drow Ranger
* 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: 16%)Drow Ranger
* With 4 active abilities, Shadow Shaman is weak against silencing foes such as silencer,
Drow Ranger and
Death Prophet.
Clinkz
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 4%)Drow Ranger
* Heroes with low health and low armor: Clinkz,
Crystal Maiden.
Visage
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 1%)Drow Ranger
* This is especially true against Visage's
Summon Familiars.
* Armed with an Aghanim's Scepter and a
Maelstrom or its upgrade
Mjollnir, Drow Ranger becomes quite potent against summons and illusions.
* This is especially true against Visage's
Summon Familiars.
Doom
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 2%)Elder Titan
* Infernal Blade deals scaling damage and is useful against high HP targets such as Elder Titan. It also can interupt
Echo Stomp if quick enough.
* Doom has very low base armor and naturally high HP, so he isn't significantly affected by Natural Order.
Drow Ranger
* Drow Ranger can be difficult to get on top of, thanks to her Frost Arrows and
Gust. With these two abilities, Drow Ranger is able to effectively 'kite' Doom and minimize his impact during team fights and laning stage.
* Much of Drow Ranger's effectiveness comes from her passive, which is not disabled by Doom.
Morphling
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 12%)Drow Ranger
* Morphling can use Waveform to close the gap between him and Drow Ranger, but should be careful of Gust and
Frost Arrows.
* Morphling is a natural Manta Style carrier, which dispels the silence from Gust.
Elder Titan
* Most of Morphling's armor comes from his high agility and it is reduced by Natural Order.
* However, the aura has only 350 range and Elder Titan can be bursted down by Morphling's nuke combo if he isn't careful.
Additional:
* Morphling's high armor is primarily from Morphing agility, which is reduced by Natural Order therefore making the hero very vulnerable when it has morphed a lot into agility.
* Morphling usually will Morph into high agility and low strength. This can be taken advantage of with a good stun or silence or by bursting him down before he has the time to Morph back to strength.
* Morphling is very vulnerable to Blade Mail under Natural Order and can easily burst himself down with his own auto-attacks or his magical damage combo.
Slark
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 13%)Drow Ranger
* A well-timed Dark Pact can dispel Frost Arrows and Gust, letting Slark engage and escape freely.
* Shadow Dance lets Slark quickly close the gap and deal heavy damage without giving Drow Ranger a chance to retaliate.
* Pounce counteracts Frost Arrows' slow, letting Slark easily pin Drow Ranger down or flee.
Additional:
* Pounce and items like Shadow Blade makes it very difficult for Drow Ranger to keep her distance from Slark, thereby losing her
Marksmanship bonus.
* Gust is rarely enough to keep Slark at bay, as Drow Ranger has no movement abilities and will simply be chased down afterwards.
* Drow Ranger's heavy dependence on agility also makes her significantly weaker after being drained by Essence Shift.
Elder Titan
* Natural Order aura prevents Slark from gaining armor from the agility stolen with Essence Shift.
* Echo Stomp and Earth Splitter can hit Slark through his Shadow Dance ultimate.
* Slark's stats gain is relatively low compared to most agility carries making him quite squishy without his agility-based armor.
Anti-Mage
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 13%)Elder Titan
* Echo Stomp and
Earth Splitter's long cast times give Anti-Mage plenty of time to Blink away.
Drow Ranger
* None of Anti-Mage's skills are that effective against Drow Ranger. Gust prevents him from Blinking in or out,
Counterspell is totally useless against Drow's physical damage, and as she usually doesn't have a high mana pool,
Mana Break and
Mana Void don't do much either.
* If Anti-Mage is going for Heart of Tarrasque and
Black King Bar, heroes that do heavy damage-per-second are needed.
* Be careful however that Anti-Mage may eventually farm enough to Blink on top of you and kill you straight away, considering you have no natural tools to escape from him.
Phantom Lancer
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 10%)Drow Ranger
* Phantom Rush lets Phantom Lancer get close quickly and disable Marksmanship.
* Juxtapose's illusions are hard for Drow Ranger to deal with as she has no AoE damage naturally.
Elder Titan
* Phantom Lancer's lack of disables makes it hard for him to stop Echo Stomp's channelling.
* However, due to the long cast time of his abilities, a good Phantom Lancer can use Manta Style and/or
Doppelganger to dodge the abilities.
* Phantom Lancer's high agility and relatively low strength make him very vulnerable to Natural Order.
* Additionally, Echo Stomp and Earth Splitter can clear his wave of illusions.
* Should Phantom Lancer tries to increase his health by investing for Heart of Tarrasque, Earth Splitter does more damage to him and his illusions.
Mirana
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 16%)Drow Ranger
* Mirana can use Leap to jump right next to Drow Ranger or can approach her while under cover of the invisibility granted by Moonlight Shadow, which cancels the bonus granted to Drow Ranger by Marksmanship.
* Her low health makes her easy to burst down with Mirana's spells, especially with Aghanim's Scepter.
* Mirana can dodge Gust with good reaction time, or Leap away if Drow tries to slow her without Gust.
Drow Ranger
* Gust prevents Mirana from escaping away from Leap and
Moonlight Shadow before she builds defensive items.
* On the other hand, Mirana can Leap or close the gap with Moonlight Shadow to disable Drow Ranger's Marksmanship bonus.
Juggernaut
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 19%)Elder Titan
* Blade Fury makes Juggernaut immune to Elder Titan's stun, so there is a high chance he wont get caught in your ultimate although Earth Splitter pierces spell immunity.
Drow Ranger
* Drow Ranger can use Gust to push back Juggernaut before he can get in range to use Omnislash or
Blade Fury.
Broodmother
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 2%)Drow Ranger
* Drow Ranger's lack of mobility makes her easy prey for Broodmother and her Spiderlings.
Elder Titan
* 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.
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.

Drow Ranger
*
Hookshot lets Clockwerk close the gap to Drow Ranger, disabling her Marksmanship bonus.
Power Cogs and
Battery Assault keep Drow Ranger from escaping.
*
* Power Cogs and Battery Assault also keep Drow Ranger close, nullifying Marksmanship.
Additional:
* Getting trapped in Power Cogs usually means the end for Drow Ranger.
Elder Titan
*
Battery Assault's continuous mini-stun makes it hard for Elder Titan to cast his spells due to his poor cast animation.
Hookshot if timed correctly.
* Elder Titan's channelling with Echo Stomp makes a good setup for
