[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 7%)Gyrocopter

Lycan and
Undying.

* All of Timbersaw's spells deal AoE damage, killing Lycan's summons very quickly.
* Reactive Armor will gain stacks quickly because of Lycan's summons.
Omniknight
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 3%)Lycan
* Heroes who rely strongly on melee physical damage will fare badly against Omniknight's Guardian Angel: Sven,
Phantom Assassin,
Juggernaut,
Dragon Knight,
Lycan,
Ursa,
Troll Warlord
Additional:

* Heavenly Grace dispels Homing Missile stun.
Faceless Void
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 8%)Lycan
* Faceless Void can lock Lycan down with his
Chronosphere pinning him down as long as his ultimate is up.
Gyrocopter
* Time Walk makes it hard for Gyrocopter to pin down Faceless Void. With

* Time Dilation will prevent Gyrocopter from using his cooldown spells.
Ember Spirit
[wiki] rating: 1.2 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 9%)Gyrocopter
* Heroes with high mobility will be able to avoid Gyrocopter's area attacks: Storm Spirit,
Morphling,
Ember Spirit

[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 20%)Gyrocopter
* Blade Fury and
Omnislash allows Juggernaut to avoid Gyrocopter's area attacks entirely.

Treant Protector
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 6%)Lycan
* Lycan has no kind of teleport, being only able to walk, and heavily relies on his attacks. As Overgrowth roots and disarms the targets, Lycan can't do much in an overgrowth field.
Winter Wyvern
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Lycan
* Arctic Burn allows Winter Wyvern to escape Lycan, even when he uses his ultimate.
* Splinter Blast is very effective in dealing with Lycan's summons.
* Cold Embrace saves allies from Lycan's raw physical damage and can buy allies enough time to turn the tide of battle.
* Winter's Curse stops lycan in his tracks and is very effective because of Lycan's summons.
Additional:

* Lycan often moves around with large amount of creeps, wolves created by Summon Wolves, neutral creep dominated by
Helm of the Dominator and summons created by
Necronomicon which can be easily cleared by Splinter Blast or used as a great source of damage by Winter's Curse. If you catch Lycan with creeps nearby and affected by

Earthshaker
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 10%)Lycan
* A well landed Fissure can potentially take Lycan out of the fight for several seconds, who heavily relies on precious seconds from Black king bar and Shapeshift to fight.
* Aftershock reduces the effectiveness of his summons and can prove quite irritating for Lycan.
* Echo Slam is very powerful with the sheer amount of Lycan's units and will cause him to think twice when pushing towers.
Queen of Pain
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 9%)Gyrocopter
* Blink makes it hard for Gyrocopter to pin down Queen of Pain.
* Sonic Wave is very effective at ganking Gyrocopter in the early game.

[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 4%)Lycan
* Tidebringer's cleave will cripple any of his summons.
* Could potentially build Heaven's Halberd to cripple Lycan even more.
Additional:
* Tidebringer can be used to kill Lycan's summons.
* can also build into Heaven's Halberd which will disable Lycan's auto attacks crippling him even more.
Bristleback
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 7%)Lycan
* Lycan's wolves deal little damage to Bristleback, and are easily killed by Quill Spray, even when they're invisible.

Pugna
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 4%)Lycan
* Pugna's

* Keeper of the Light has a blind, which causes Lycan to miss his attacks.

[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 5%)Gyrocopter
* Rage ignores all of Gyrocopter's magical attacks.
* Feast helps Lifestealer out-damage Gyrocopter at close range.
Lycan
* Heroes with summons: Lycan,
Broodmother,
Visage.
Enchantress
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 2%)Lycan

* Warcry will allow Sven and his allies to tank Lycan's damage, which is mainly physical.
* Storm Hammer will damage and stun Lycan's as well as his summons.
Gyrocopter
* Heroes that relies on armor or other type of physical damage negation are easy for Gyrocopter to take down during the early game with his magical damage: Axe,
Dragon Knight,
Sven.
Templar Assassin
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)Lycan
* Multiple attackers thanks to summoned units or clones: Meepo,
Witch Doctor,
Lycan,
Enigma,
Shadow Shaman
* Heroes that can quickly deal damage to her, regardless of how weak they are, can easily break through her Refraction:
* Multiple attackers thanks to summoned units or clones: Meepo,
Witch Doctor,
Lycan,
Enigma,
Shadow Shaman
* Multiple attackers thanks to illusions: Phantom Lancer,
Chaos Knight,
Naga Siren (bonus for her
Ensnare). Also despite the visual effects, Templar Assassin does not spill damage against illusions or buildings, so she is not a really good hero to clean up illusions.
* Weak damage but high tick rate or persist in a long time: Slark,
Gyrocopter,
Queen of Pain,
Shadow Shaman (
Shackles),
Pugna
Gyrocopter
* Weak damage but high tick rate or persist in a long time: Slark,
Gyrocopter,
Queen of Pain,
Shadow Shaman (

Queen of Pain,
Shadow Shaman (
Shackles),
Pugna
Terrorblade
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 6%)Gyrocopter
* Flak Cannon destroys Terrorblade's illusions very quickly.
Spectre
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 7%)Lycan
* The movement speed granted from Shapeshift means that Spectre has no way to punish Lycan if he wants to splitpush or pick off supports. Furthermore, he will kite Haunt and cannot be slowed by Spectral Dagger.
* As Lycan typically has Summon Wolves out and builds
Necronomicon, very rarely will he be damaged by Desolate if he does manage to get into a fight against her.
* Lycan is often part of an early game push strategy which is often the best counter to Spectre because she needs a lot of time and space to come online as a late game carry.
Meepo
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 1%)Gyrocopter
* Flak Cannon and Call Down will shred Meepo's clones.
* Homing Missile can catch and single out retreating Meepos, making them an easy kill.

[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 7%)Gyrocopter
* Flak Cannon and
Call Down destroy Phantom Lancer's illusions very quickly.
Additional:
* Flak Cannon destroys Phantom Lancer's illusions very quickly.
Lich
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 12%)Lycan
* Lycan doesn't care much about Lich's slows thanks to Shapeshift.
* Chain Frost can bounce to the wolves that Lycan summons.
Additional:
* Lich possesses a lot of slows, which Lycan doesn't care about when he Shapeshifts.
* Lich has no in-built escape, which makes him a good target for Lycan.
Silencer
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 8%)Lycan
* Shapeshift is useful for killing or escaping Silencer.
* Summon Wolves, and later
Necronomicon units, can be used to hunt a badly wounded Silencer down - even when Lycan himself can't fight.
Earth Spirit
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 9%)Lycan
* Shapeshift allows Lycan to chase down Earth Spirit.
Drow Ranger
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 8%)Lycan
* 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.
Undying
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 7%)Gyrocopter
* Flak Cannon rips through Tombstone's zombies.
Additional:
* Flak Cannon enables Gyrocopter to clear the zombies easily.
Ursa
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 12%)Lycan
* Lycan's ultimate makes him immune to slows from Ursa's
Earthshock as well as allowing him to outmaneuver
Ursa during
Enrage. Lycan can also easily chase down
Ursa while shapeshifted, should
Ursa try to flee.
Chaos Knight
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 4%)Gyrocopter
* Flak Cannon destroys Chaos Knight's illusions very quickly.
Mirana
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 16%)Lycan
* Mirana's Leap is ineffective if Lycan uses Shapeshift. It also allows him to dodge Sacred Arrow.
* As a natural Necronomicon carrier, he can reveal Mirana and her allies hiding in Moonlight Shadow and the Necronomicon Warrior can kill Mirana from an unintentional Sacred Arrow or Starstorm upgraded with Aghanim's Scepter.
Warlock
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Lycan
* Shapeshift allows Lycan to escape from
Upheaval with 650 movement speed.
* Warlock doesn't have a lot of AoE abilities to deal with Lycan's wolves from Summon Wolves.
Nyx Assassin
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 11%)Lycan
* Lycan is a common Necronomicon 3 carrier, hindering his attempt of initiate or escape using Vendetta.
* And the Last Will can be killed quickly with Nyx Assassin's high burst damage, although he can at least partially counter it with a well-timed Spiked Carapace.
* Lycan's high HP easily shrug off Nyx Assassin's burst damage and fend him off.
Shadow Demon
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 3%)Lycan
* Lycan and
Weaver has abilities that allow them to move at maximum movement speed, and those abilities can't be dispelled, potentially wasting the slow from Demonic Purge.
* You can potentially kill a fragile Weaver by using disruption DURING
Shukuchi with a well-placed
Sentry Ward, wasting the Shukuchi. But odds are he'll wait to get low health,
Time Lapse the damage away and Shukuchi away once more.
Io
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 4%)Lycan
* Heroes with low armor and little mobility, like Huskar,
Io, etc. will also have an unfortunate fate.
Techies
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 6%)Lycan
* Heroes with summons like Broodmother,
Enigma,
Invoker,
Nature's Prophet,
Lycan,
Visage;or illusions, like
Naga Siren,
Phantom Lancer,
Terrorblade are effective at keeping the choke points and rune spawns safe from Proximity mines in the early game.
Additional:
* He can send wolves to defuse Proximity Mines, and he can catch up Techies and kill him before they can deny themselves. Even if the suicide is successful, Lycan can still survive because of his tankiness.
Viper
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 7%)Lycan
* Heroes who do not have nor rely on passive abilities make Nethertoxin much less effective: Clinkz,
Pugna,
Nature's Prophet,
Dark Seer,
Lycan,
Tusk
Sniper
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 5%)Lycan
* You can easily kill a squishy Sniper, due to your high movement speed and his lack of escape.
Skywrath Mage
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Lycan
* Skywrath mage also has a terrible time fighting against anything that isn't a hero. As Mystic Flare only affects heroes, his skills are mostly target-based and he has terrible strength and agility, he can easily be kited or harassed by illusion-based heroes like Chaos Knight and
Phantom Lancer, or by Heroes that summon other units like
Lone Druid,
Lycan and
Beastmaster.
Chen
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 1%)Lycan
* Illusion and heroes with summons are difficult to kill with Chen's single-target offensive spells: Terrorblade,
Phantom Lancer,
Chaos Knight,
Broodmother,
Naga Siren,
Lycan,
Visage. However, Chen can convert enemy summons with Holy Persuasion, as long as they don't bunch up.
Visage
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 3%)Gyrocopter
* Heroes with cleave or multi-target attacks can quickly take on Familiars and reduce Visage's firepower like Gyrocopter,
Kunkka,
Magnus and
Medusa.
Wraith King
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 21%)Lycan
* Heroes with single-target abilities will be overwhelmed by Lycan and his summons: Wraith King,
Bane,
Phantom Assassin.
Naga Siren
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 2%)Lycan
* Lycan is a carrier built entirely with physical attacks, having 0 AoE presence and no spell power. Due to this, he can't deal with illusions or Naga Siren's Ensnare.
Gyrocopter
* Flak Cannon and
Call Down can easily clear Naga Siren's illusions.
Puck
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 14%)Lycan
* Any Hero with high mobility will be neutralized by dream coil: Queen of Pain,
Storm Spirit,
Ember Spirit,
Lycan,
Bloodseeker,
Anti-Mage,
Timbersaw
Lycan
* A Lycan with Shapeshift can always run down Puck and kill him very quickly due to his low armor. It is important to abuse as many cliffs and trees as possible to escape from a Lycan.
Night Stalker
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 5%)Gyrocopter
* Heroes with weaker mobility will struggle to keep up with Night Stalker: Gyrocopter,
Ursa,
Drow Ranger
Lycan
* Void's slow is useless against Lycan by activating Shapeshift.
* Night Stalker's single target abilities (with the exception of Void upgraded by Aghanim's Scepter) is not very effective against Lycan's
Summon Wolves and Necronomicon minions during the early and mid game.
Phantom Assassin
[wiki] rating: -0.2 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 17%)Lycan
* Blur is a real problem for Lycan, while she deals critical hits.
Lycan
* Heroes with single-target abilities will be overwhelmed by Lycan and his summons: Wraith King,
Bane,
Phantom Assassin.
Gyrocopter
* Heroes with magical burst damage can often kill Phantom Assassin before she gets to do much: Necrophos,
Nyx Assassin,
Gyrocopter.
Zeus
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 11%)Gyrocopter
* Heroes with high magical burst damage will kill Gyrocopter before he gets to do much: Lina,
Lion,
Zeus
Lycan
* Zeus can deal a huge amount of damage, but he lacks defensive abilities, such as good mobility or resistance. Due to that, he doesn't like to be touched by any means. Heroes with higher damage output and good mobility will often get easily near Zeus and trade damage (eventually causing Zeus's downfall). Such Heroes include: Lycan,
Slark,
Storm Spirit,
Spectre and others.
Axe
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 10%)Lycan
* Melee heroes who rely on summons, illusions or clones will trigger Counter Helix more often, thus taking more damage: Meepo,
Lycan,
Chaos Knight,
Phantom Lancer
Additional:
* Berserker's Call can keep Lycan in place during his Shapeshift even through
Black King Bar.
* Counter Helix is very effective against Lycan because of his summons.
* Culling Blade will prevent Lycan from running away with Shapeshift when he drops low.
Gyrocopter
* Heroes that relies on armor or other type of physical damage negation are easy for Gyrocopter to take down during the early game with his magical damage: Axe,
Dragon Knight,
Sven.
Dragon Knight
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)Lycan
* Dragon Knight's insanely high armor and splash damage can cause Lycan to struggle taking him down.
Gyrocopter
* Heroes that relies on armor or other type of physical damage negation are easy for Gyrocopter to take down during the early game with his magical damage: Axe,
Dragon Knight,
Sven.
Bane
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Gyrocopter
* Low-health, normally mobile carries with a lot of damage are vulnerable to Bane's nukes and disables: Anti-Mage,
Clinkz,

Luna,
Meepo,
Mirana,
Monkey King,
Morphling,
Phantom Assassin,
Phantom Lancer,
Riki,
Shadow Fiend,
Slark,
Sniper,
Terrorblade,
Troll Warlord,
Weaver.
Lycan
* Heroes with single-target abilities will be overwhelmed by Lycan and his summons: Wraith King,
Bane,
Phantom Assassin.
Arc Warden
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Gyrocopter
* Magnetic Field evades most of Gyrocopter's attacks.
* Necronomicon can kill Gyrocopter with the summons. In addition, Last Will might activate if the Necronomicon Warrior gets killed through Flak Cannon or Call Down.
Lycan
* Magnetic Field is useless against melee heroes, so Lycan can attack Arc Warden without missing.
* Flux doesn't affect Lycan that much, because Shapeshift grants immunity to slows and because he is never alone.
* If their Tempest Double has been called, Lycan can still kill Arc Warden before the double expires.

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.

Call Down via Dissimilate or move out of its range with Astral Step.
* Void Spirit can partly dodge
* Gyrocopter has no escape abilities, which benefits Void Spirit's high mobility.

Chen,
Lycan, and
Phantom Lancer.
