[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 16%)Omniknight
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 3%)Kunkka

* 
Purification is a powerful, pure damaging heal that can save Omniknight's allies after Kunkka's large damage.
Shadow Shaman
* 
Omniknight can dispel Hex or Shackles with 
Heavenly Grace. He can also heal teammates which you disabled. The same goes to 
Abaddon's 
Aphotic Shield .
Silencer
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 8%)Kunkka
* Kunkka relies on his powerful AOE spells to turn the tides of teamfights. He cannot use them while silenced.
* 
Last Word can mess up Kunkka's ability synergy, silencing him in the middle of his strong combo.
* 
Global Silence can disable Kunkka's spell casting from anywhere on the map, even if Kunkka is spell immune at the time.
Shadow Shaman
* With 4 active abilities, Shadow Shaman is weak against silencing foes such as 
silencer, 
Drow Ranger and 
Death Prophet.
Sniper
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 5%)Shadow Shaman
* Heroes with channeled abilities which Assassinate may cancel at long range: 
Witch Doctor, 
Crystal Maiden, 
Shadow Shaman, 
Pugna
Kunkka
* With his 
Take Aim, Sniper can simply sit out of your ability range and deal massive damage if not killed first.
* 
Assassinate can target allies who are still alive with low health because of Ghostship's buff.
* 
Headshot makes it harder for Kunkka to position/escape and makes it hard for Kunkka to hit with Tidebringer.
Riki
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 10%)Shadow Shaman
* Riki is known for being a successful support killer, and not just for show. He can give you one hell of a time by constantly picking you off and/or forcing you to stick close to the rest of the team.
* 
Smoke Screen is particularly devastating to Shadow Shaman. With neither his various disables nor a solid health pool Shadow Shaman is usually dead. Consider a force staff if you find yourself in this scenario (to force yourself out of the cloud before shackling Riki) and buy sentry wards if you have the money.
Wraith King
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 21%)Shadow Shaman

[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 6%)Kunkka
* Clinkz's high damage output and insane attack speed late-game can take Kunkka out of the fight before it begins.
* 
Strafe and 
Searing Arrows together can kill allies easily even under Ghostship's buff.
* 
Skeleton Walk can allow Clinkz to make a quick escape after Kunkka's combo, or even avoid it all together.
Phoenix
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 10%)Kunkka
* 
Supernova negates Kunkka's combo entirely, as it can't be affected by spells while using Supernova.
* 
Icarus Dive also allows Phoenix to dodge Ghostship and Torrent.
Ursa
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 12%)Kunkka
* Ursa's massive physical damage can destroy Kunkka quickly.
* 
Enrage can be activated before being hit by Ghostship to prevent most of the damage.

Rubick
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 17%)Kunkka
* Despite most Kunkka players depending on their immense physical damage, his spells provide a lot of utility for Rubick:
* 
Torrent is very easy to land when paired with Telekinesis.
* 
X Marks the Spot can potentially be more effective in Rubick's hands due to his tendency to increase his cast range with his talents and items.
* 
Ghostship, paired with Telekinesis, allows Rubick to land it very easily without requiring Torrent or X Marks the Spot.
Outworld Destroyer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 2%)Kunkka
* 
Astral Imprisonment can allow Outworld Destroyer to save himself or allies from Kunkka's full kit.
* 
Sanity's Eclipse deal a large amount of damage, as Kunkka's mana pool is much smaller than Outworld Destroyer's considering Kunkka is playing physical type.
* 
Arcane Orb deals pure damage, shredding through Kunkka and his team even with Ghostship's buff.
Lifestealer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 5%)Kunkka

[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 11%)Shadow Shaman
* 
Nyx Assassin, 
Bounty Hunter and 
Slark can all sneak up and kill you, Nyx being particularly deadly. Watch Slark carefully, as he can break either (but not both unless you are making a mistake) of your disables, with 
Dark Pact and leap out of a serpent ward ring. These heroes, however, rely heavily on escape and are themselves not very durable and none of them can survive a full lockdown with Mass Serpent Ward. Having Sentry Wards can turn you from prey to predator.

Having Sentry Wards can turn you from prey to predator.
Lone Druid
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 1%)Shadow Shaman
* Lone Druid's early game is good against slow, squishy supports since his bear is very strong early game and an Entangling Claws proc almost always guarantees a kill: 
Ancient Apparition, Crystal Maiden, Shadow Shaman, 
Skywrath Mage etc.
Treant Protector
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 6%)Kunkka

Slark
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 12%)Shadow Shaman
* Nyx Assassin, Bounty Hunter and Slark can all sneak up and kill you, Nyx being particularly deadly.

Shadow Demon
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 3%)Kunkka

Disruption.

Shackles channeling
* Mass Serpent Ward can be easily teared down by Chen's creep army
