Nyx Assassin
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 15%)Warlock

[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 16%)Kunkka
* Leap allows Mirana to easily escape Torrent and Ghostship.
Bloodseeker
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 4%)Warlock

* Supernova negates Kunkka's combo entirely, as it can't be affected by spells while using Supernova.

* Weaver's Shukuchi allows him to escape from Warlock's

[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 13%)Warlock
* Upheaval does not interrupt Slark too much, as he can just Pounce out of the area.
* Fatal Bonds and
Shadow Word can be dispelled by Dark Pact.

Torrent or
X Marks the Spot.
Sven
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 43% pickrate: 1%)Warlock
* With God's Strength, Warlock Golem goes down in a matter of seconds. The two weaker golems granted by Aghanim's Scepter will fare worse due to Great Cleave hitting both.

Additional:
* God's Strength combined with
Great Cleave destroys Chaotic Offering golems within seconds.
Puck
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 18%)Warlock

Riki
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 17%)Warlock

Spirit Breaker,
Riki, and some others.
Necrophos
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 3%)Warlock
* Heroes that have small health pools and little to no escape mechanisms are even easier prey for Necrophos.

Witch Doctor,
Warlock or
Shadow Fiend.
Death Prophet
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 3%)Warlock

Puck, and the aforementioned
Silencer.
Spirit Breaker
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 8%)Warlock
* Warlock is a very strong hero when positioned correctly, and his long cast range helps him with this. However, some Heroes might disrupt or sneakily pass through your allies and deal with you, preventing you from doing your job. Such heroes include Chaos Knight,

Astral Imprisonment, and
Shadow Demon and his
Disruption.
* Heroes with hide abilities can often dodge a Ghostship just before it hits.
* Similarly, they can negate your X Marks The Spot & Torrent combo by protecting your target when you use Return. Good candidates to negate your combo include Outworld Destroyer and his
Astral Imprisonment, and
Shadow Demon and his
Disruption.
* A Eul's Scepter of Divinity can also do the trick, but, unlike the previously mentioned abilities, you can only use it on yourself and not your allies.

[wiki] rating: -2.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 1%)Warlock
* Fatal Bonds links the Meepos together.
Kunkka
* X Marks the Spot is good to prevent a single meepo from escaping from a deadly situation.

Additional:
* Tidebringer's cleave damage can wear down Meepo's clones quickly. It can also give Meepo problems in the lane, due to his melee range and initially low health pool.

Torrent can effectively disable Meepo while dealing heavy damage. If
Aghanim's Scepter is purchased, Ghostship can also drag the Meepo clones out of position and set up a teammate's follow-up abilities.
* X Marks the Spot prevents attempts to escape using Poof.
Hoodwink
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 16%)Kunkka

[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 16%)Warlock
* 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.

Drow Ranger,
Lion,
Elder Titan, etc.

[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 18%)Warlock

Invoker
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 16%)Kunkka

Phantom Lancer
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 8%)Kunkka
* Tidebringer, Torrent and Ghostship destroys Phantom Lancer's illusion army.
* Phantom Lancer can't escape with
Doppelganger under your X Marks the Spot, but can use it to dodge it.

Enigma
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 6%)Warlock
* Chaotic Offering's spell immunity piercing stun can stop Black Hole's channeling. Due to this ability's large area of effect, it can be cast at a safe distance from the Black Hole.

* Warlock's Upheaval can interfere with Enigma's initiation and potential follow-ups thanks to its large AoE.
Additional:

Black Hole.

Fatal Bonds and
Upheaval on multiple enemies.

* Tidebringer can clear Broodmother's spiders if they get in range.

Huskar,
Drow Ranger,
Lion,
Elder Titan, etc.

* 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.

Kunkka,
Magnus and
Medusa.
Chaos Knight
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 3%)Warlock
* Warlock is a very strong hero when positioned correctly, and his long cast range helps him with this. However, some Heroes might disrupt or sneakily pass through your allies and deal with you, preventing you from doing your job. Such heroes include Chaos Knight,
Spirit Breaker,
Riki, and some others.
Kunkka
* Tidebringer, Torrent and Ghostship destroys Chaos Knight's Phantasm army all through the game.
Ember Spirit
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 9%)Warlock
* A pre-placed Fire Remnant allows Ember Spirit to escape

* Since Tidebringer has a 4 second cooldown, Kunkka has little availability to manfight Huskar.
Warlock
* {U:Warlock Golem}s do plenty of physical and pure damage to bring down Huskar when he is at low health. Warlock is always a hazard for Huskar to initiate by using Life Break because
Chaotic Offering can stun him instantly, even when
Black King Bar is activated, and allow Warlock's team to gather their wit and retaliate.
* After jumping in, Huskar will not have any means to escape Upheaval. Being an attack-dependent hero, this is bad for him.
Templar Assassin
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Warlock
* Fragile supports with low armor are always a good prey, also her Psionic Trap will wear down most attempts to flee with their built-in disables: Silencer,
Crystal Maiden,
Warlock,
Ancient Apparition,
Grimstroke,
Witch Doctor
Warlock
* Because Templar Assassin does not have escape potential in lane, any support hero with roaming potential and a Dust of Appearance can be great at shutting her down early game:
Earth Spirit,
Spirit Breaker,
Tusk,
Bounty Hunter,
Riki,
Warlock.
Additional:
* Warlock can cast Upheaval when Templar Assassin uses
Meld, preventing escape.
* Warlock can also send his {U:Warlock Golem} near where she used Meld, preventing escape by

[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 56% pickrate: 4%)Warlock
* 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.

* Tidebringer can be used to kill Lycan's summons.

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.

Warlock
* Because Warlock's abilities are all active abilities, Silencer can make his impact minimal.
Arcane Curse prevents Warlock from using his abilities without taking 56/84/112/140 damage, and slowed by 9%/12%/15%/18%.
Last Word can prevent Warlock from casting his combo.
Global Silence can nullify Warlock's impact in fights and prevent him from getting any spells off.

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.
