Warlock
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Juggernaut
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 53% 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.
Clinkz
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 5%)Hoodwink

* Battery Assault's continuous mini-stun makes it hard for Elder Titan to cast his spells due to his poor cast animation.
* Elder Titan's channelling with Echo Stomp makes a good setup for Hookshot if timed correctly.
Storm Spirit
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 10%)Hoodwink
* Storm Spirit can easily make his way to hoodwink with his ultimate Ball lightning. Due to Hoodwink's low HP and magic resistance, she can be nuked easily by him.
Timbersaw
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 7%)Hoodwink
* Timbersaw’s reliance on nearby trees means he’ll usually be close to Hoodwink.
* More significantly, Timbersaw's tree destroying abilities cut off Hoodwink's escape options, passive and easily foil Acorn Shot/Bushwhack combos.
* While channeling her ultimate, Timbersaw can simply sit his Chakram on top of her and unleash his full combo, forcing her to cancel and disengage.
* Timber Chain can be used to dodge Hoodwink’s ultimate.
Windranger
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 16%)Hoodwink
* Powershot can destroy the trees to prevent Scurry's passive as well as end
Bushwhack prematurely.
* Shackleshot stuns Hoodwink for a lengthy duration due to her often reliance on positioning with trees.
Additional:
* Powershot can destroy the trees to prevent Scurry's passive as well as end Bushwhack prematurely.
* Shackleshot stuns Hoodwink for a lengthy duration due to her often reliance on positioning with trees.
Lich
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 12%)Elder Titan
* Frost Shield helps offset the armor reduction from Natural Order.
Zeus
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 11%)Hoodwink

Nimbus can easily killed her most of the time
* Lightning Bolt can reveal or grant sight of where Hoodwink hiding or invisible in the trees
Brewmaster
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 2%)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.
Earthshaker
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 10%)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.
Anti-Mage
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 14%)Elder Titan
* Echo Stomp and
Earth Splitter's long cast times give Anti-Mage plenty of time to Blink away.
Vengeful Spirit
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 7%)Hoodwink
* Nether Swap can forcibly reposition Hoodwink's ultimate ability.
Enchantress
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 1%)Elder Titan
* Untouchable makes her heavily reduce Elder Titan's physical damage output on her without Spell Immunity.
* Enchant can purge
Astral Spirit's buff without Spell immunity.
* Nature's Attendants can protect her if she survives the full combo and manages to juke around.
Doom
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 3%)Elder Titan
* Infernal Blade deals scaling damage and is useful against high HP targets such as Elder Titan.
* Doom has very low base armor and naturally high HP, so he isn't significantly affected by Natural Order.
Sven
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 42% pickrate: 1%)Elder Titan
* Storm Hammer interrupts Echo Stomp.
Disruptor
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 8%)Hoodwink
* Heroes that can negate Hoodwink's mobility: Kunkka,
Disruptor,
Mars.
Mars
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 16%)Hoodwink
* Heroes that can negate Hoodwink's mobility: Kunkka,
Disruptor,
Mars.
Kunkka
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 4%)Hoodwink
* Heroes that can negate Hoodwink's mobility: Kunkka,
Disruptor,
Mars.
Techies
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 7%)Hoodwink
* remote mines are frequently placed in trees, and can thus kill an unwary Hoodwink should she
Scurry away due to her low HP pool.
* Blast Off! can clear out trees, denying the tactical advantages from Scurry.
Elder Titan
* Slow heroes that have a hard time escaping the Echo Stomp radius: Crystal Maiden,
Pudge,
Techies.
Morphling
[wiki] rating: -2.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 12%)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.
Hoodwink
* Sharpshooter can kill easy when Morphling is going on full agility strategy (Only in early and mid game).
* Scurry can help to catch up Morphling when using Waveform or for escape.
Phantom Lancer
[wiki] rating: -2.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 7%)Hoodwink
* Acorn Shot combined with attack modifiers such as
Maelstrom or
Daedalus makes a quick work of Phantom Lancer's illusions.
* Bushwhack will stun Phantom Lancer and his illusions if they're near a tree.
Additional:
* Bushwhack will stun and make a quick work of Phantom Lancer and his illusion when he's near a tree.
* Sharpshooter breaks Juxtapose and deals hefty damage.
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.
Dragon Knight
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 2%)Hoodwink
* Durable heros relied a lot on their main passive effects and items' effects such as Bristleback,
Underlord and
Dragon Knight can be removed their effects easily with
Sharpshooter's break.
Elder Titan
* Elder Titan's
Natural Order completely nullifies Dragon Knight's high armor.
Bristleback
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 8%)Hoodwink
* Bristleback's passive Bristleback can be disabled by Hoodwink's
Sharpshooter ability for a long period of time
Nature's Prophet
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% 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.
Phantom Assassin
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 16%)Hoodwink
* Sharpshooter breaks Blur and Coup de Grace especially with the level 25 talent.
* Because Phantom Assassin is often reliant on critical strikes, Hoodwink can have enough time to simply move near a tree and escape.
Terrorblade
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 5%)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.
Meepo
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% 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.
Viper
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% 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.
Chen
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% 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.
Slark
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 13%)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.
Huskar
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)Hoodwink
* Huskar’s low health play style put him at extreme risk to Sharpshooter's extreme damage. In addition, it breaks
Berserker's Blood, nullifying Huskar's power source.
Monkey King
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 18%)Hoodwink
* Monkey King often hides in trees, where he can be easily caught with Bushwhack.
* Acorn Shot can target enemies in the fog, including Monkey King when he is on a tree.
* Sharpshooter provides flying vision along the cast indicator while charging, which can be used to scout the trees for Monkey King.
Broodmother
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 2%)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.
Magnus
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 6%)Elder Titan
* Any hero who can counter-initiate in anticipation without getting caught in Reverse Polarity: Sven,
Omniknight,

Crystal Maiden
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 14%)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.
Oracle
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 9%)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.
Underlord
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 8%)Hoodwink
* Durable heros relied a lot on their main passive effects and items' effects such as Bristleback,
Underlord and
Dragon Knight can be removed their effects easily with
Sharpshooter's break.
Pudge
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 21%)Elder Titan
* Heroes who build a Black King Bar (or having any sources of spell immunity) to channel abilities/items are still interrupted by Dismember: Enigma,
Juggernaut,
Pugna,
Elder Titan.
Elder Titan
* Slow heroes that have a hard time escaping the Echo Stomp radius: Crystal Maiden,
Pudge,
Techies.
Lion
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 16%)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.
Hoodwink
* Hex and
Earth Spike do not cancel Hoodwink's ultimate, making those two abilities ineffective against her.
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.

Hoodwink
*
Chaotic Offering's vast area-effect can destroy trees and stun Hoodwink.
Upheaval makes retreating with Scurry difficult.
*
Elder Titan
* 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.
