Chaos Knight
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 3%)Phantom Lancer
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 9%)Ogre Magi
* Ogre Magi has no AoE damage or disables and has nothing to deal with Phantom Lancer's illusions.
* Doppelganger disjoints and dispels Ignite.
Night Stalker
* Void's slow is dispelled by Doppelganger or counteracted by
Phantom Rush.
* Spirit Lance's and
Diffusal Blade's slow reduces Night Stalker's mobility and helps him or his ally escape if they're inflicted by Void or Crippling Fear.
* Night Stalker has no AoE abilites to take out Phantom Lancer's illusions. Even if Night Stalker gets an Aghanim's Scepter, there will be way too many illusions for Night Stalker to handle.
Meepo
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 1%)Ogre Magi
* Ogre Magi has single-targeted magical-only damage and disables and is less effective against Meepo's clones.
Night Stalker
* Night Stalker's most skills are single targeted which allows other Meepos to Poof, Earthbind and kill him.
Lycan
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 4%)Night Stalker
* 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.
Troll Warlord
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 9%)Night Stalker
* Whirling Axes (Melee) provides a 60% miss chance, which can make the attack speed bonus from Hunter in the Night largely ineffective.
* Berserker's Rage together with
Battle Trance and
Fervor stacks gives him a high chance of rooting Night Stalker, which allows Troll Warlord to man-fight Night Stalker in any stage of the game, regardless of whether or not it's night.
Naga Siren
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 2%)Night Stalker
* Mirror Image can be effective since Night Stalker cannot withstand fighting illusions. If he's unable to tell which Naga Siren is real, he will have a hard time landing his Void. However, if Night Stalker obtains an
Aghanim's Scepter, the upgraded Void will hit and may even locate the real Naga Siren in fights.
Additional:
* Ensnare and
Song of the Siren prevents Night Stalker from escaping and ganking during daytime or even nighttime.
* Rip Tide reduces Night Stalker's armor, making him easier to focus down.
* Mirror Image can be effective against Night Stalker, due to his single target abilities.
Undying
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)Ogre Magi
* Undying saps strength from heroes with Decay, and Ogre Magi's high strength gain will allow Undying to steal more and more strength, becoming stronger with each use.
* Due to the Strength steal from Decay, Undying is normally very tanky, and has high health, making it harder for Ogre Magi to kill him.
Lifestealer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)Ogre Magi
* Ogre Magi has nothing against Rage and his high health pool amplifies
Feast.
Additional:
* Lifestealer's Rage makes him immune to all of Ogre's magical debuffs and also dispels them.
* Ogre's as hero with great durability and high health is great target for Lifestealer in any stage of the game, thanks to Feast.
Viper
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 5%)Ogre Magi
* Nethertoxin breaks Multicast.
* Corrosive Skin minimizes the damage during Ignite and Fireblast.
Doom
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 2%)Ogre Magi
* Doom makes Ogre Magi less disruptive.
* Infernal Blade effectively negates Ogre Magi's tankiness.
* With Aghanim's Scepter he can disable Multicast.
Sven
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 1%)Night Stalker
* Night Stalker can't kill Sven quickly while he has the armor bonus from Warcry.
* Sven under the effect of God's Strength and his various physical damage strength items can kill Night Stalker first.

[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 5%)Ogre Magi
* Arc Warden's
Tempest Double is helpful for killing Ogre Magi who lacks AoE damage and disables.
Juggernaut
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 18%)Night Stalker
* Heroes with stronger lane presence that can threaten to kill him: Batrider,
Juggernaut,
Ursa,
Monkey King,
Razor.
Bloodseeker
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 5%)Night Stalker
* Bloodseeker's
Rupture turns Night Stalker mobility against him and
Thirst grants movement speed bonus and vision prevents Night Stalker from initiating and re-initiating.
Monkey King
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 17%)Night Stalker
* Heroes with stronger lane presence that can threaten to kill him: Batrider,
Juggernaut,

* Heroes that can punish aggressive heroes, such as: Leshrac,
Shadow Demon,
Pugna,
Death Prophet.
Earth Spirit
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 9%)Ogre Magi
* Earth Spirit's useful kit of Slows, Stuns, and Silences can set up kills on Ogre Magi and the silence can stop him from using his abilities.

[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 4%)Night Stalker
* Heroes with stronger lane presence that can threaten to kill him: Batrider,
Juggernaut,
Ursa,
Monkey King,
Razor.
Centaur Warrunner
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 4%)Night Stalker
* Night Stalker is all about right-clicks. His nuke,
Void is also not that threatning once you have
Hood of Defiance, your core item.
Terrorblade
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 4%)Night Stalker
* Heroes with illusions and summons can manfight Night Stalker: Terrorblade,

* Fate's Edict gives full immunity from Ogre Magi's mostly magical damage.
* Fortune's End can dispel Ignite (when used on allies) and Bloodlust (when used on enemies).
* False Promise can dispel Ignite and Fireblast.
Night Stalker
* Heroes with long disables, like Lion,
Night Stalker, or
Legion Commander, can prevent Oracle from using spells or items.
Omniknight
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 1%)Ogre Magi
* Heavenly Grace reduces Fireblast stun time and dispels Ignite.
* Purification can heal damaged hero if needed.
Night Stalker
* Heroes that have a weak laning stage: Spectre,
Nyx Assassin,
Clockwerk,
Spirit Breaker,
Omniknight,
Pudge.
Weaver
[wiki] rating: -2.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 9%)Ogre Magi
* Fireblast with Multicast can prevent Weaver from escaping with Shukuchi.
* However, the slow from Ignite is generally useless against Shukuchi haste effect or dispelled by
Time Lapse.
Night Stalker
* The long silence of Crippling Fear at night prevents Weaver from using his Shukuchi or Time Lapse.
* With Dark Ascension and
Gem of True Sight, Night Stalker can easily find and probably kill Weaver.
* Hunter In the Night's attack speed bonus removes The Swarm's beetles very quickly.
Techies
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 7%)Ogre Magi
* Techies struggles early game against heroes with naturally large strength and health regeneration such as Pudge,
Axe or
Ogre Magi, as the player is forced to lay down more mines than usual to kill these bulkier heroes.
Night Stalker
* With Dark Ascension Night Stalker gains unobstructed vision during night-time allowing him to easily detect mines if he has a
Gem of True Sight, but Night Stalker is a melee hero so he has to use
Quelling Blade to safely defuse Remote Mines and Stasis Trap.
* Dark Ascension also allows Night Stalker to fly over Proximity Mines without triggering them.
* Crippling Fear is effective in stopping Techies from using Blast Off! and
Void is effective in stopping them from running to the safety of their mines.
Earthshaker
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 15%)Ogre Magi
* Damage-over-time Ignite can prevent Earthshaker from escaping with Blink Dagger.
* Fireblast and Unrefined Fireblast are the good setup while Earthshaker after blinking in (although Earthshaker is a primary target).
Night Stalker
* Careful not to blink into Riki's
Smoke Screen or
Night Stalker's
Crippling Fear, as these field effects will instantly silence Earthshaker and prevent him from initiating.
Additional:
* Fissure has a short stun and creates an impassable ridge. However, Night Stalker can fly over it during Dark Ascension.
* Night Stalker can find Earthshaker, disable his Blink Dagger with Void, and then take him out with Crippling Fear.
* Earthshaker may fail his blink combo against Night Stalker's team if he is not careful, as he can blink into the silence.
Spirit Breaker
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 8%)Ogre Magi
* Heroes that can cancel Charge of Darkness: Ogre Magi,
Earthshaker.
Night Stalker
* Heroes that have a weak laning stage: Spectre,
Nyx Assassin,
Clockwerk,
Spirit Breaker,
Omniknight,
Pudge.
Faceless Void
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 41% pickrate: 3%)Night Stalker
* Crippling Fear can silence Faceless Void for a long time, preventing him from using his Time Walk and Chronosphere.
Keeper of the Light
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 5%)Night Stalker
* Crippling Fear prevents Keeper of the Light from using his spells to keep his team alive during team-fights.
* Dark Ascension is very strong against Keeper of the Light, who relies on daytime to be effective.
Additional:
* Keeper of the Light's Aghanim's Scepter upgrade loses much of its power, due to Night Stalker being able to reduce the duration of daytime by a lot.
Magnus
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 4%)Night Stalker
* Dark Ascension reduces vision for the enemy team, which makes it more difficult for Magnus to initiate with Blink Dagger and Reverse Polarity. It is also more likely that Night Stalker will scout out Magnus with
Aghanim's Scepter and a
Gem of True Sight, after which he can silence Magnus with
Crippling Fear.
Nature's Prophet
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 7%)Ogre Magi
* Nature's Prophet treants can easily cleared by damage-over-time Ignite or Multicast Hand of Midas earning lots of gold.
* Fireblast and Unrefined Fireblast prevents or cancels out Nature Prophet from escaping with Teleportation.
Shadow Fiend
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 18%)Night Stalker
* Void can be used to cancel Requiem of Souls.
* Crippling Fear prevents Shadow Fiend from using Shadowraze or Requiem of Souls.
* With Dark Ascension and
Gem of True Sight, Night Stalker can find and kill Shadow Fiend easily. He is also a tanky hero that can fight Shadow Fiend at any stage of the game.
Pudge
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 19%)Night Stalker
* Night Stalker can easily find Pudge's location during Dark Ascension.
* Void's mini-stun and silence from
Crippling Fear at night will stop Dismember, Meat Hook and Rot and preventing Pudge from fighting back.
* Night Stalker has naturally high health, strength gain and common itemization for survivability through magic resistance, making Night Stalker a poor target for Pudge.
Queen of Pain
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 9%)Night Stalker
* Night Stalker has a huge, almost instant silence through Crippling Fear. The main problem is that he can get it off while Queen of Pain barely has any vision of him if he creeps up to her during
Dark Ascension. She'll have to play very carefully before she gets a
Black King Bar or a
Eul's Scepter of Divinity.
Io
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 4%)Ogre Magi
* Ignite has long duration damage-over-time and prevents Io from healing his Tethered ally.
Invoker
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 16%)Night Stalker
* Crippling Fear is a good way to shut down and gank Invoker in the early game..
* Void deals good damage to Invoker and makes escaping harder.
* With Hunter in the Night and
Void, Invoker can't get away from Night Stalker and won't be able to catch him with Sun Strike during the night.
Storm Spirit
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 11%)Night Stalker
* Crippling Fear is a silence that can last up to 8 seconds during night, rendering Storm Spirit tied limited to his items in a fight.
* Dark Ascension allows Night Stalker to initiate on Storm Spirit across the impassable terrain around the middle lane, rendering Storm vulnerable in the early game and prevent him from snowballing.
Additional:
* Storm Spirit is absolutely helpless if caught within Night Stalker's silence range.
* Common items a Storm Spirit will build will not remove the AoE silence.
Riki
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 13%)Night Stalker
* With Dark Ascension and Gem of True Sight, Night Stalker can easily find and kill Riki. Riki will also find it harder to kill the tanky Night Stalker than he would many other heroes.
Tinker
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 7%)Night Stalker
* Night Stalker can easily find Tinker in the trees during Dark Ascension.
* Void's mini-stun will stop Rearm and
Boots of Travel.
* Crippling Fear's silence will prevent Tinker from fighting back, as Tinker relies on his spells.
Additional:
* Night Stalker is one of the best heroes to find (and silence) Tinker in the trees during Dark Ascension.
Templar Assassin
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Ogre Magi
* The damage block instances of Refraction can be burned down with Ignite.
Mirana
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 16%)Night Stalker
* The long silence of Crippling Fear at night prevents Mirana from escaping with Moonlight Shadow and Leap. She also has really low base health, so Night Stalker can usually kill her during one cast of
Crippling Fear at night.
* With Dark Ascension and
Gem of True Sight, Night Stalker can find and kill Mirana, and he is a tanky hero capable of fighting Mirana any stage of the game.
Clinkz
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 5%)Night Stalker
* The long silence at night prevents Clinkz from escaping with invisibility if Night Stalker can sneak up on him. He also has really low base health, so Night Stalker can usually kill him alone during one cast of Crippling Fear at night.

Lina,

* Heroes that have a weak laning stage: Spectre,
Nyx Assassin,
Clockwerk,
Spirit Breaker,
Omniknight,
Pudge.
Void Spirit
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 13%)Ogre Magi
* Side lanes with disables will greatly reduce the likeliness Void Spirit will be willing to rotate: Sven,
Tiny,
Wraith King,
Ogre Magi.
Outworld Destroyer
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 17%)Night Stalker
* Any heroes with silences can negate the majority of Outworld Devourer's damage output: Death Prophet,
Night Stalker,
Drow Ranger,
Doom .
Ancient Apparition
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 10%)Night Stalker

Pudge.
Bounty Hunter
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 10%)Night Stalker
* Night Stalker's
Crippling Fear at night prevents Shadow Walk for an extended period of time and his
Void will make Phase Boots useless. If Night Stalker has True Sight, he can shutdown Bounty Hunter's sneak kill.
Mars
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 15%)Night Stalker
* Heroes that are hard to gank: Dragon Knight,
Mars,
Centaur Warrunner.
Ogre Magi
* Mars has no way to trade with Ogre Magi in the early game thanks to his high base health, resistance and Ignite.
* Once Ogre Magi gets level 2 he may also have Bloodlust, which makes him even harder to deal with in lane.
* Fireblast can be ridiculously strong later on in the game for controlling Mars.
* Spear of Mars, which is Mars' main source of damage in the early game, cannot guarantee kills early on Ogre Magi.
Phoenix
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 9%)Night Stalker
* Phoenix turns night to day, overriding Dark Ascension during
Supernova.
Night Stalker
* Void can interrupt Icarus Dive.
* His Crippling Fear's silence will shutdown a spell caster Phoenix.
* However, Phoenix punishes Night Stalker with Supernova because it will turn night into day, and it has a higher priority than Dark Ascension, effectively canceling the passive bonuses Night Stalker gets from
Hunter in the Night.
Puck
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 17%)Ogre Magi
* Puck silences Ogre Magi with
Waning Rift, and
Phase Shift makes Puck untargetable for the duration.
Night Stalker
* Void is a potent nuke that is devastating to his low health pool.
* Crippling Fear silence can prevent Puck from casting spells, leaving him vulnerable.
Additional:
* Puck cannot use any of its normal means to survive should Night Stalker catch it within Crippling Fear, and goes down quickly.
Slark
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 13%)Ogre Magi
* Dark Pact dispels Ignite's slow and Fireblast's stun.
* Shadow Dance allows Slark to regenerate HP, even when he is affected by Ignite and Fireblast.
Night Stalker
* With Dark Ascension he can keep vision on Slark, disabling his Shadow Dance regeneration. Slark is also too weak to seriously threaten Night Stalker in lane.
Anti-Mage
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 13%)Ogre Magi
* Ogre Magi only deals magical damage, which Anti-Mage is exceptionally resistant due to Counterspell.
* Anti-Mage dispels Ignite with
Manta Style.
* Ogre Magi has a very large mana pool which means Anti-Mage can do large amounts of damage to him with Mana Break and Mana Void.
Night Stalker
* Crippling Fear makes Night Stalker one of the best early game gankers to shut down Anti-Mage.
* Night Stalker's low mana pool causes him to take little damage from Mana Void.
Ursa
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 16%)Night Stalker
* Heroes with stronger lane presence that can threaten to kill him: Batrider,
Juggernaut,
Ursa,

Ursa,
Drow Ranger

[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 4%)Ogre Magi

Techies,
Juggernaut,
Shadow Shaman, or
Ogre Magi.

Silencer, will prevent Abaddon from saving his allies effectively and disable the active component of Borrowed Time.

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.

Night Stalker
*
Reality Rift pulls out Night Stalker while he tries to escape or chase.
Phantasm illusions from early to mid game, until Night Stalker buys
Aghanim's Scepter.
* Night Stalker doesn't have a lot of ways to deal with multiple targets, which makes him vulnerable to
Ogre Magi
*
Phantasm dispels Ignite and makes targeting the real Chaos Knight much harder.
