Chaos Knight
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 7%)Slardar
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 13%)Pudge
* 
Corrosive Haze lowers armor and reveals Pudge's location, making it hard to use Meat Hook on Slardar's teammates or Slardar himself.
* Because Corrosive Haze also reduces armor, it amplifies 
Bash of the Deep's damage.
* 
Slithereen Crush interrupts Pudge during Dismember at close range.
* 
Guardian Sprint allows Slardar to avoid Meat Hook.
Additional:
* While Slardar has Guardian Sprint activated, 
Rot cannot slow him and 
Meat Hook is easier to avoid.
* Slithereen Crush allows Slardar to interrupt 
Dismember at close range (when Slardar is not a target).
* Corrosive Haze reveals Pudge's location, making it very difficult for him to land hooks from the fog.
Bounty Hunter
* Slardar's Corrosive Haze provides True Sight on its target, thus exposing Bounty Hunter's position regardless of Shadow Walk. In addition, Slardar's Guardian Sprint gives a very high movement speed bonus allowing him to chase Bounty Hunter even if Slardar is tracked.
Additional:
* Bounty Hunter's 
Shadow Walk is rendered useless with Corrosive Haze and makes Bounty Hunter an easy target for Slardar and his team.
Night Stalker
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 6%)Bounty Hunter
* 
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.
Pudge
* 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.
Tidehunter
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 6%)Bounty Hunter
* 
Tidehunter with 
Kraken Shell when damage received reaches the threshold.

Doppelganger
* 
Slark with 
Dark Pact
* 
Ursa with 
Enrage
* 
Weaver with 
Time Lapse
* Tidehunter with Kraken Shell when damage received reaches the threshold.
Pudge
* 
Gush reduces Pudge's armor which he already lacks.
* Kraken Shell can dispel Dismember after reaching a certain threshold of damage.
* Tidehunter's naturally high health, strength gain, and common itemization for survivability through magic resistance make Tidehunter a poor target.
Abaddon
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 3%)Bounty Hunter
* Abaddon with Aphotic Shield and Borrowed Time
* Heroes that can remove the Track debuff with their skills:
* Abaddon with Aphotic Shield and Borrowed Time
* Huskar with Life Break
* Juggernaut with Blade Fury

* Oracle with Fortune's End and False Promise
* Phantom Lancer with Doppelganger
* Slark with Dark Pact
* Ursa with Enrage
* Weaver with Time Lapse
* Tidehunter with Kraken Shell when damage received reaches the threshold.
Pudge
* Abaddon can activate Borrowed Time to dispel Dismember; breaking the disable and potentially allowing Abaddon to escape.
* Aphotic Shield can be cast on an ally to dispel the stun of Dismember, which can make kills difficult to secure, given that Dismember is Pudge's only reliable disable.
* Pudge lacks a mobility without a 
Blink Dagger, causing him to be easily chased with 
Curse of Avernus. The silence also prevents him from toggling off his Rot.
Anti-Mage
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 15%)Pudge
* If Meat Hook is used before 
Blink, Anti-Mage may be able to escape Pudge's grasp by blinking safety.
* 
Counterspell grants Anti-Mage a large degree of magic resistance, a damage type Pudge is highly reliant on to secure kills. This make Anti-Mage a bad target for Pudge. The active can also block Dismember if timed correctly.
* 
Mana Break can quickly drains Pudge's low supply of mana, which may render Meat Hook & Dismember unusable and making him a prime target for 
Mana Void.
Bounty Hunter
* Heroes that are naturally hard to gank, ranging from beefy tanks like Abaddon and 
Wraith King to heroes with quick escape mechanisms like 
Anti-Mage and 
Storm Spirit are also undesirable targets for a lone, roaming Bounty Hunter to scout out and initiate on.
Lifestealer
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 11%)Pudge
* The lifesteal of 
Feast scales accordingly to the health of its target, which is effective against Pudge due to his high health and further health granted by stacks of Flesh Heap.
* Lifestealer can activate Rage to completely negate magic damage, therefore rendering the damage of Rot and Dismember null.
* Pudge's plentiful health makes him an ideal target for 
Open Wounds.
Bounty Hunter
* Lifestealer with Rage and Infest
* Heroes that can remove the Track debuff with their skills:
* Abaddon with Aphotic Shield and Borrowed Time
* Huskar with Life Break
* Juggernaut with Blade Fury

* Ursa with Enrage
* Weaver with Time Lapse
* Tidehunter with Kraken Shell when damage received reaches the threshold.
Legion Commander
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 14%)Pudge
* Legion Commander can use Press the Attack on an ally to dispel the disable of Dismember. The bonus health regeneration also partially counters the damage of Rot
* 
Duel can be used on Pudge whilst Rot is active, disabling toggling which may result in a lethal health drain that leaves Legion Commander with a successful duel.
Bounty Hunter
* Legion Commander with Press the Attack
* Heroes that can remove the Track debuff with their skills:
* Abaddon with Aphotic Shield and Borrowed Time
* Huskar with Life Break
* Juggernaut with Blade Fury

Death Prophet
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 2%)Bounty Hunter
* Death Prophet's 
Silence allows her to prevent Bounty Hunter from escaping with Shadow Walk.
* If Bounty Hunter cannot escape with Shadow Walk while affected by Silence. She will be able to burst him down with 
Crypt Swarm and 
Spirit Siphon.
Pudge
* High health heroes like 
Pudge and 
Undying gain strength by using abilities. Focusing them with Spirit Siphon can let you heal more health and deal more damage to them.
Slark
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 10%)Pudge
* Dark Pact dispels Dismember if timed perfectly.
* Pudge's low attack speed and poor agility can be lowered even further by 
Essence Shift.
* 
Shadow Dance grants Slark invisibility and a high degree of mobility, which can make Slark a difficult target to hook and also protects him from Pudge's Dismember (including allies with an 
Aghanim's Scepter).
Bounty Hunter
* Slark with Dark Pact
* Heroes that can remove the Track debuff with their skills:
* Abaddon with Aphotic Shield and Borrowed Time
* Huskar with Life Break
* Juggernaut with Blade Fury
* Legion Commander with Press the Attack
* Lifestealer with Rage and Infest
* Naga Siren with Mirror Image
* Omniknight with Heavenly Grace
* Oracle with Fortune's End and False Promise
* Phantom Lancer with Doppelganger
* Slark with Dark Pact
* Ursa with Enrage
* Weaver with Time Lapse
* Tidehunter with Kraken Shell when damage received reaches the threshold.
Phantom Lancer
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 4%)Bounty Hunter
* Doppelganger dispels 
Track.
* Bounty Hunter also has no area of effect abilities to help with the illusions.
Pudge
* Heroes with many summons or illusions are much harder to catch with Meat Hook: 
Nature's Prophet, Phantom Lancer, 
Chen.
Bristleback
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 4%)Pudge
* Bristleback is one of the hardest heroes to gank with a Meat Hook and Dismember combo, and attempts to do so sometimes backfire on Pudge.
Additional:
* Pudge is particularly susceptible to Bristleback's 
Viscous Nasal Goo and 
Quill Spray due to his naturally low armor & poor agility gain.
* Bristleback, in combination with his strength gain, high health, common itemization for magic resistance and damage reduction from 
Bristleback makes him a poor target for Pudge.
Bounty Hunter
* 
Bristleback's Viscous Nasal Goo can catch and slow Bounty Hunter. 
Warpath and Quill Spray can defeat him quickly due to his small HP pool when compared to Bristleback's.
Clockwerk
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 10%)Pudge
* Meat Hooking a Clockwerk can backfire for Pudge, as Battery Assault and 
Blade Mail will hurt Pudge more than he hurts Clockwerk.
Visage
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 1%)Pudge
* Pudge has a very hard time killing Familiars due to his melee range and low attack speed.
* Stone Form can quickly interrupt Dismember.
Necrophos
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 6%)Pudge
* 
Heartstopper Aura is effective against high health heroes, and Pudge is no exception. Coupled with his constant self-damage from Rot, being around Necrophos could prove risky for an overconfident Pudge.
* Regardless of how much health Pudge gains through Flesh Heap, 
Reaper's Scythe will often kill Pudge should his health fall below 40%, making Necrophos an ideal counter versus Pudge.
Additional:
* No matter how high Pudge builds up strength with his 
Flesh Heap, all it needs is for him to fall below a certain percentage of health for him to fall to Reaper's Scythe. Considering his constant self-damage with Rot, being around Heartstopper Aura will prove risky for an overconfident Pudge.
Viper
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 8%)Bounty Hunter
* Viper's poison abilities can slow Bounty Hunter's movement speed and allows to chase him with True Sight items.
* 
Nethertoxin can break Jinada, and the silence from level 25 preventing Bounty Hunter from using all of his spells.
Spirit Breaker
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 5%)Bounty Hunter
* Spirit Breaker's 
Charge of Darkness semi-reveals Bounty Hunter, taking away his element of surprise for the duration of the charge. Also, as Charge of Darkness shows Bounty Hunter's position, Spirit Breaker's allies can proceed to gank Bounty Hunter while he is roaming alone.
Venomancer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Bounty Hunter
* Venomancer's magical damage-over-time poisons greatly reduce Bounty Hunter's mobility.
* 
Venomous Gale, 
Plague Wards and 
Poison Nova with True Sight items can allow Venomancer and his teammates to gank Bounty Hunter while he is roaming alone.
Windranger
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 19%)Pudge
* Pudge relies on his hook to initiate his combo. As long as she's able to avoid the hook with Windrun and shackle him, Windranger can take him down easily. Pudge's low armor means that he won't be able to endure Focus Fire for long.
Earth Spirit
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 8%)Pudge
* Earth Spirit can easily disrupt Dismember because he can disable from a long distance with a Stone Remnant and Rolling Boulder. With talent he can even pull his teammates out of Dismember and also silencing Pudge with Geomagnetic Grip.
Terrorblade
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 6%)Pudge
* Pudge has low armor and low mobility, making him a prime target for Terrorblade's right-clicks.
* Meat Hook is a lot harder to land on the real Terrorblade if he has illusions around him.
* Because Dismember targets only one hero, Terrorblade's illusions can potentially save the real Terrorblade if he's caught in it.
Timbersaw
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)Pudge
* The percentage-based primary-attribute reduction effect of 
Whirling Death can be devastating for Pudge due to his high strength gain through Flesh Heap.
* 
Reactive Armor's health regeneration and common itemization for magic resistance and durability make Timbersaw a poor target for Pudge.
* 
Timber Chain's high mobility makes Timbersaw difficult to lockdown for Pudge, given he only has one reliable disable.
Dazzle
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 6%)Pudge
* 
Shallow Grave can be used to save an ally during Dismember and Rot.
* A combination of 
Bad Juju, 
Poison Touch, and items like 
Desolator or 
Solar Crest can tear off Pudge's low armor, making him even more vulnerable to physical damage.
Doom
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 6%)Pudge
* 
Doom disables the toggling of Rot and, if cast at the right time, may leave Pudge with a potentially lethal health drain.
* Doom's naturally high health, strength gain and damage output makes him a poor target for Pudge.
* The damage of Doom's 
Infernal Blade scales with the target's maximum health, which is particularly effective against Pudge due to his naturally high health and further health granted by stacks of Flesh Heap.
Additional:
* Infernal Blade deals high damage to Pudge due to his high strength grow with Flesh Heap.
* Using Doom with timing against Pudge who had just activated Rot would usually kill him.
Weaver
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 4%)Pudge
* 
Shukuchi grants Weaver invisibility and a high degree of mobility for a short time, which can make Weaver a difficult target to hook.
* 
The Swarm with Desolator can remove Pudge little natural armor and makes it difficult to remove Weaver's beetles, due to his low base attack time and poor agility. Additionally, The Swarm can scout out Pudge's location.
* Given that Pudge only has one reliable disable in Dismember, should Weaver survive, Weaver can simply use Time Lapse (or target allies with Aghanim's Scepter) to remove the damage entirely.
Additional:
* While Weaver is in Shukuchi, Rot doesn't slow him and Meat Hook is easy to avoid.
* Even when hooked, Weaver can use Time Lapse, negating both the damage and displacement.
* Pudge has low armor and low attack speed, making him susceptible to The Swarm and physical attacks.
* Dismember is easy to block with Linken's Sphere and it's the only way to break Weaver's Linken Sphere.
* However, the long duration stun of Dismember can be dangerous for Weaver.
Bounty Hunter
* Weaver with Time Lapse
* Heroes that can remove the Track debuff with their skills:
* Abaddon with Aphotic Shield and Borrowed Time
* Huskar with Life Break
* Juggernaut with Blade Fury
* Legion Commander with Press the Attack
* Lifestealer with Rage and Infest
* Naga Siren with Mirror Image
* Omniknight with Heavenly Grace
* Oracle with Fortune's End and False Promise
* Phantom Lancer with Doppelganger
* Slark with Dark Pact
* Ursa with Enrage
* Weaver with Time Lapse
* Tidehunter with Kraken Shell when damage received reaches the threshold.
Bounty Hunter
* 
Bounty Hunter has a cheap way to break Linken's Sphere and keep track of Weaver while he is using Shukuchi, though both can be dispelled with Time Lapse.
Rubick
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 19%)Bounty Hunter
* Rubick is a potential counter to Bounty Hunter as he can steal his Track and use it not only against his invisibility, but also providing his team more gold if the tracked hero is killed.
Ursa
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 4%)Pudge
* Low armor and lack of escape makes Pudge vulnerable to Ursa, specially when he gets his Blink Dagger.
* If Pudge lands a Meat Hook on Ursa, Ursa can simply face Pudge head on provided he can burst him down before any follow up disables.
* Enrage's Aghanim's Scepter upgrade allows Ursa to dispel Pudge's Dismember.
Bounty Hunter
* Ursa with Enrage
* Heroes that can remove the Track debuff with their skills:
* Abaddon with Aphotic Shield and Borrowed Time
* Huskar with Life Break
* Juggernaut with Blade Fury

* Oracle with Fortune's End and False Promise
* Phantom Lancer with Doppelganger
* Slark with Dark Pact
* Ursa with Enrage
* Weaver with Time Lapse
* Tidehunter with Kraken Shell when damage received reaches the threshold.
Bounty Hunter
* Low mobility heroes: Heroes with no/little means of traveling fast have difficulty getting to/away from Bounty Hunter due to his slowing Jinada and hastening Track. Few examples of such heroes are: 
Crystal Maiden, 
Sniper, Ursa, 
Witch Doctor, etc.
Outworld Devourer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 3%)Pudge
* 
Arcane Orb and 
Sanity's Eclipse quickly drains Pudge's limited mana pool, making him unable to use Meat Hook or Dismember and also bypasses Flesh Heap.
* Outworld Devourer can save allies or himself caught by Dismember or Meat Hook with 
Astral Imprisonment.
Underlord
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 10%)Bounty Hunter
* In general, melee heroes without blink mechanisms or spell immunity will have a hard time positioning against Pit of Malice: 
Sven, 
Tiny, Wraith King, 
Dragon Knight, 
Meepo, 
Doom, Bounty Hunter, 
Dark Seer, Undying, 
Alchemist, Legion Commander.

* Heroes with high health especially Strength heroes will take more damage on Sun Ray: 
Axe, Pudge, Bristleback, 
Mars.
Earthshaker
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 10%)Pudge
* Heroes with channeled abilities can be interrupted by a long-range Fissure: Crystal Maiden, Witch Doctor, 
Bane, 
Pugna, Pudge.
Storm Spirit
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 11%)Bounty Hunter
* Heroes that are naturally hard to gank, ranging from beefy tanks like Abaddon and Wraith King to heroes with quick escape mechanisms like Anti-Mage and Storm Spirit are also undesirable targets for a lone, roaming Bounty Hunter to scout out and initiate on.
Naga Siren
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 1%)Bounty Hunter
* Naga Siren with Mirror Image
* Heroes that can remove the Track debuff with their skills:

* Phantom Lancer with Doppelganger
* Slark with Dark Pact
* Ursa with Enrage
* Weaver with Time Lapse
* Tidehunter with Kraken Shell when damage received reaches the threshold.
Additional:
* Bounty Hunter is a single target dealer, so he will not fare well against Naga Siren. He might as well try to Track her, but her Mirror Image will dispel the effect. Also, Ensnare reveals invisible units while they're rooted, putting Bounty Hunter in a tricky situation.
Queen of Pain
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 10%)Pudge
* Heroes with a high degree of mobility and invisibility are hard to catch with Meat Hook: 
Ember Spirit,

Wraith King
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 4%)Bounty Hunter
* Heroes that are naturally hard to gank, ranging from beefy tanks like Abaddon and Wraith King to heroes with quick escape mechanisms like Anti-Mage and Storm Spirit are also undesirable targets for a lone, roaming Bounty Hunter to scout out and initiate on.
Lion
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 14%)Bounty Hunter
* Finger of Death can instantly shred many targets especially fragile Heroes like 
Keeper of the Light, 
Ancient Apparition, or Bounty Hunter.
Grimstroke
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 8%)Pudge
* Heroes with powerful channeling abilities are easily interrupted by Phantom's Embrace: Bane, Pudge, Witch Doctor, Crystal Maiden, 
Enigma.
Chen
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 1%)Pudge
* Rot is not very effective against Chen's creeps.
* Chen can use his creeps to cover him or his allies from any attempts of Meat Hook.
* {U:Centaur Conqueror} or {U:Mud Golem} under Chen's control can interrupt Dismember.
Bounty Hunter
* Invisibility heroes can sneak past Chen's creeps and pick him off: 
Nyx Assassin, Weaver, Bounty Hunter Riki.
Io
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Pudge
* Tether and Overcharge makes it much harder for Pudge to kill a target with Meat Hook, and Relocate can save the Io's ally while Dismember is being channeled.
Bounty Hunter
* Fragile heroes: Bounty Hunter has decent nuking capabilities with Shiruken Toss and Jinada thus making fragile heroes easy picks for ganking. Few examples of such heroes are:Crystal Maiden, Pugna, 
Skywrath Mage, 
Io, Witch Doctor, etc.
Lina
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 18%)Pudge
* Pudge has low armor and mobility, making him suspectible to her physical attacks (if Lina is the carry).
* Because Dismember is a channeled ability, it can be canceled through Light Strike Array within a distance.
Pudge
* Heroes with abilities that can pull Lina out of position can easily bring her to their team mates, like 
Batrider with 
Flaming Lasso and Pudge with his Meat Hook.
Sniper
[wiki] rating: -2.0 (winrate: 43% pickrate: 4%)Pudge
* Pudge's Meat Hook allows him to bring Sniper in the middle of any fight, and the pure damage does well against his high armor and low health.
* Dismember can lock Sniper down, which makes him highly vulnerable and gives enough time for Pudge to kill him alone.
Additional:
* Sniper has a low health pool and strength gain, making him vulnerable to Pudge's magical and pure damage.
* Sniper usually likes to deal damage away from the fight, and Meat Hook is capable of bringing him to the front lines.
* 
Assassinate won't do much damage against Pudge because of his high strength gain and the strength bonuses from Flesh Heap.
Bounty Hunter
* Bounty Hunter can use Shadow Walk to get close, and 
Jinada can do massive damage and slow down Sniper on the first attack.
* Track gives additional speed to Bounty Hunter and makes 
Shadow Blade useless, allowing Bounty Hunter to easily kill him with a few attacks.
Additional:
* Sniper relies on distance. Bounty Hunter can use Shadow Walk to get close, and Jinada can do massive damage and slow down Sniper in the early game.
* Track gives additional speed to Bounty Hunter and makes Shadow Blade useless, which can allow Bounty Hunter to easily kill him with a few attacks.
Shadow Fiend
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 15%)Pudge
* Heroes with channeling spells because Shadow Fiend has nothing to cancel channeling: Bane, Enigma, Pudge, 
Shadow Shaman.
Bounty Hunter
* Bounty Hunter can absolutely destroy a Shadow Fiend's game by ganking his midlane with Shadow Walk, Jinada and Shuriken Toss.
* If his lane goes bad, a Shadow Fiend usually goes to the jungle. Follow him with Shadow Walk and take half of his experience.
* Shuriken Toss is a good way to interrupt Shadow Fiend's long cast animation on 
Requiem of Souls.
Additional:
* 
Shuriken Toss can be used to cancel Requiem of Souls.
* Shadow Walk and Jinada allow Bounty Hunter to gank Shadow Fiend early on
* Track prevents Shadow Fiend from escaping with Shadow Blade.
Templar Assassin
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 6%)Bounty Hunter
* 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.
Pudge
* His Rot can force Templar Assassin out of her Meld and destroy all of her Refraction charges quickly, and her small health pool and meager defense make her very vulnerable to his Meat Hook without Refraction.
Witch Doctor
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 12%)Pudge
* Heroes that have a channeled ability can be interrupted by Meat Hook: Shadow Shaman, Witch Doctor, Enigma, Bane.
Additional:
* Meat Hook interrupts Death Ward from a decent range, even through 
Black King Bar & 
Glimmer Cape.
* Pudge can survive the damage from Maledict because of his Flesh Heap stacks.
* However the damage-over-time from Rot is counteracted by Voodoo Restoration.
Bounty Hunter
* Low mobility heroes: Heroes with no/little means of traveling fast have difficulty getting to/away from Bounty Hunter due to his slowing Jinada and hastening Track. Few examples of such heroes are: Crystal Maiden, Sniper, Ursa, Witch Doctor, etc.
Shadow Shaman
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 7%)Bounty Hunter
* 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.
Pudge
* Pudge, Legion Commander and Axe will make the match a living hell for you, since they are known for surprise attacks from the fog and quickly killing low HP heroes. They can also interrupt your channeling, Legion being especially problematic, as she can use Press the Attack on an ally who is hexed as well.
Pugna
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 6%)Pudge
* 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.
Bounty Hunter
* Fragile heroes: Bounty Hunter has decent nuking capabilities with Shiruken Toss and Jinada thus making fragile heroes easy picks for ganking. Few examples of such heroes are:Crystal Maiden, Pugna, Skywrath Mage, Io, Witch Doctor, etc.
Snapfire
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 20%)Pudge
* Meat Hook can be used immediately after 
Mortimer Kisses since Snapfire is forced to stay in place.
Dark Willow
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 6%)Pudge
* Rot and Meat Hook hits Dark Willow even when she uses Shadow Realm.
* Flesh Heap reduces Dark Willow's magic burst damage.
Tinker
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Pudge
* He can Meat Hook a Tinker hiding in the trees and follow it up with Dismember and Rot for an easy solo kill, as Tinker doesn't tend to buy survivability items.
* His innate magic resistance and huge health pool from Flesh Heap makes it hard for Tinker to deal serious damage to Pudge.
Additional:
* Meat Hook can used to pull Tinker while he is hiding in the trees, and a follow up with Dismember and Rot leads to an easy solo kill, as Tinker doesn't buy many survivability items.
* Flesh Heap makes it hard for Tinker to deal serious damage.
Void Spirit
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 12%)Bounty Hunter
* One hit with Jinada should be sufficient in removing Void Spirit's shield most of the time.
* Track negates much of Void Spirit's escape abilities by revealing his position and prevents him from rotating effectively.
Crystal Maiden
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 13%)Bounty Hunter
* Frostbite will reveal invisible heroes for its duration, making it a good tool against any such hero (Riki, Bounty Hunter, Weaver, or Clinkz for example), or as a soft counter to Shadow Blade, if it is used first. This can be an amazing tool to ensure that Dust of Appearance is used on the unit in question, and not wasted in not catching anything.
Pudge
* Heroes with large health pools (Pudge) or good innate magic resistance (Anti-Mage) can be very problematic for Crystal Maiden, since even if they are under the effect of her ultimate for the entire duration, the damage output is simply not enough to kill or force them to retreat.
Additional:
* Meat Hook can cancel 
Freezing Field, even if Crystal Maiden has Glimmer Cape.
* She is also slow and is fragile, making her a good target for ganking.
Bounty Hunter
* Shuriken Toss's stun is useful for cancelling Freezing Field from a distance.
* Track can be used for revealing Crystal Maiden when she uses Glimmer Cape.
* Jinada does burst physical damage (which is even bigger if dealt under Track's crits), which is effective due to Crystal Maiden's low HP and armor.
* Bounty Hunter likes to stay hidden from the fight and is less likely to get caught by Crystal Maiden's spells.
Drow Ranger
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 16%)Pudge
* Meat Hook brings Drow Ranger to Pudge, disabling Marksmanship and dealing a huge amount of damage.
* Rot keeps Pudge close to Drow Ranger, continuously disabling Marksmanship.
Additional:
* Meat Hook can pull Drow Ranger to Pudge, disabling her 
Marksmanship.
* Following up with Dismember will prevent Drow Ranger from using 
Gust or Shadow Blade.
Puck
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 5%)Pudge
* Bristleback, 
Centaur Warrunner, Spirit Breaker, Pudge, Huskar: These heroes are too tanky for Puck to burst down. Also, all of them have spells which can deal with and shut Puck down reliably.
Monkey King
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 8%)Pudge
* 
Tree Dance has a low cooldown and allows Monkey King to jumps on trees quickly, making him a difficult target to hook.
* Because of his low attack speed and poor agility, Monkey King can inflict a large amount of damage quickly by 
Jingu Mastery.
* 
Boundless Strike interrupts Pudge's Dismember from a long range.
Pudge
* Meat Hook can easily cancel Wukong's Command by pulling Monkey King out of the circle.
* Meat Hook can grab Monkey King from trees during Tree Dance.
* Rot puts Tree Dance on cooldown.
Bounty Hunter
* 
Monkey King is also hindered by Track since he relies on trees to hide him from vision.
Additional:
* Track grants vision of Monkey King, even when he's in the trees.
Pangolier
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 9%)Pudge
* Heroes with other kind of disables that pierce spell immunity can hold Pangolier in place during Rolling Thunder: Axe, 
Beastmaster, Enigma, 
Magnus, Pudge, Batrider, Bane, 
Winter Wyvern
Phantom Assassin
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 22%)Pudge
* Heroes with disables that ignore spell immunity will render Phantom Assassin quite useless in teamfights throughout the game: Enigma, 
Vengeful Spirit, Doom, Bane, Beastmaster, Pudge.
Invoker
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 20%)Bounty Hunter
* Bounty Hunter and 
Slardar both have ultimates (Corrosive Haze and Track) that reveal Invoker through Ghost Walk.
Meepo
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 1%)Pudge
* Because only one clone needs to be killed in order to kill Meepo, heroes that excel at singling out enemies can also be a detriment to him, such as Batrider, Beastmaster, Pudge and 
Clockwerk.
Skywrath Mage
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 7%)Bounty Hunter
* Fragile heroes: Bounty Hunter has decent nuking capabilities with Shiruken Toss and Jinada thus making fragile heroes easy picks for ganking. Few examples of such heroes are:Crystal Maiden, Pugna, Skywrath Mage, Io, Witch Doctor, etc.
Bane
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Pudge
* Heroes that have a channeled ability can be interrupted by Meat Hook: Shadow Shaman, Witch Doctor, Enigma, Bane.
Additional:
* Meat Hook can easily hit nightmared targets, as well as Bane while channeling Fiend's Grip.
* Dismember interrupts Fiend's Grip if Pudge is not targeted.
* Pudge's high health and health regeneration let him absorb much of Bane's nukes.
Ancient Apparition
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 6%)Bounty Hunter
* Heroes with mobility/escape mechanisms to dodge Ancient Apparition abilites, or to easily jump on him: Riki, Queen of Pain,

Windranger, Bounty Hunter, Spirit Breaker, Night Stalker, Storm Spirit, Juggernaut, etc.
Treant Protector
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 7%)Bounty Hunter
* Invisibility reliant heroes: Heroes with invisibility abilities or those that have invested into invisibility items are hindered by Bounty Hunter's Track. Few examples of such heroes are:Clinkz, Riki, 
Treant Protector, etc.
Enigma
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 2%)Pudge
* 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.
Additional:
* Pudge can Meat Hook Enigma out of his Black Hole channeling and cancel it through Black King Bar when followed up with Dismember.
* Enigma is prone to ganks in the jungle or in the off-lane without proper vision. Pudge can take advantage of Enigma lack of mobility, assuming Enigma is not blocked by his Eidolons.
* Stacked magic resistance from his passive Flesh Heap ability can mitigate Midnight Pulse's damage.
Juggernaut
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 19%)Bounty Hunter
* Juggernaut with Blade Fury
* Heroes that can remove the Track debuff with their skills:

* Heroes with a high degree of mobility and invisibility are hard to catch with Meat Hook: Ember Spirit, Riki, Clinkz, Queen of Pain.
Bounty Hunter
* Track gives Riki a hard time, as it prevents much of his ganking capabilities.
Faceless Void
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 18%)Bounty Hunter
* Heroes who rely on invisibility, such as Bounty Hunter, Clinkz, 
Mirana, Nyx Assassin and Riki, as they will be revealed if caught by Chronosphere.
Pudge
* Meat Hook can pull an ally out of Chronosphere.
* Rot will keep damaging Void if he toggled it before Chronosphere,but you can lower your hp for faceless void.
* Flesh Heap will help Pudge survive through the Chronosphere with enough stacks, and follow with Dismember.
Nature's Prophet
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 4%)Pudge
* Heroes with many summons or illusions are much harder to catch with Meat Hook: Nature's Prophet, Phantom Lancer, Chen.
Bounty Hunter
* Heroes with detection: Bounty Hunter, 
Disruptor, Razor, Slardar, 
Spectre, Spirit Breaker
Techies
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 6%)Bounty Hunter
* Techies is very good against roaming supports and gankers such as Bounty Hunter, Riki, Weaver, 
Earthshaker, Nyx Assassin, etc. that are constantly moving around the map.
Pudge
* 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.
Additional:
* Pudge is the perfect hero for tanking mines, as Flesh Heap grants him lots of strength.
* Techies' high ground defense can be bypassed by Pudge hooking his enemies to him.
* Techies usually sits in the trees during the laning stage, setting up 
Proximity Mines. Meat Hook can easily pull them out and set them up for a kill.
Luna
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 4%)Bounty Hunter
* Even though Luna is the kind of hero that Bounty Hunter can handle due to Shadow Walk rendering him safe from 
Eclipse, smart Luna will always buy Dust of Appearance, allowing her to provide vision on him to her team, and possibly, kill Bounty Hunter with Eclipse.
Additional:
* Even though Luna is the kind of hero that Bounty Hunter can handle due to Shadow Walk rendering him safe from Eclipse, smart Luna will always buy Dust of Appearance, allowing her to provide vision on him to her team, and possibly, kill Bounty Hunter with Eclipse.
Pudge
* Flesh Heap's magic resistance allows him to survive Eclipse, and Meat Hook and Dismember can disable Luna through her Black King Bar.
* However, Lucent Beam can still cancel Dismember from a safe distance, even if its damage is going to be reduced.
Additional:
* Pudge can easily survive Luna's 
Lucent Beam and Eclipse, and his Meat Hook and Dismember can pierce Black King Bar, making Luna one of the perfect victims for ganking.
* However, Lucent Beam can cancel Dismember, as Pudge often doesn't build Black King Bar, and if she is farmed enough, Luna might be able to fight back against Pudge.
Nyx Assassin
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 3%)Pudge
* 
Mana Burn completely drains Pudge's little mana which may render Meat Hook & Dismember unusable.
* 
Impale and 
Spiked Carapace used to cancel Dismember if timed perfectly.
* 
Vendetta grants Nyx Assassin invisibility and a high degree of mobility for a long time, which can make Nyx a difficult target to hook. In addition, it also scouts out Pudge's location and surprising him with his attack, Impale and Mana Burn.
Bounty Hunter
* Nyx Assassin wants to start ganking as soon as he gets his Vendetta. Keeping him Tracked prevents him from ganking, and thus from doing his job in the game.
* Nyx Assassin has a lot of armor and health regen, making the nuke damage from Shuriken Toss very good against him.
Additional:
* Track hinders Nyx Assassin's ganking attempts with Vendetta, making him an easy kill for gold as well.
Elder Titan
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 2%)Pudge
* Slow heroes that have a hard time escaping the Echo Stomp radius: Crystal Maiden, Pudge, 
Techies.
Pudge
* 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.
Mirana
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 14%)Pudge
* Heroes that cannot move in fights such as a Dueling Legion Commander or anyone channeling a spell like Bane, Pudge, or Enigma are easy Sacred Arrow targets.
Additional:
* If Meat Hook is used before 
Leap, Mirana may be able to escape Pudge's grasp by leaping to safety.
* The invisibility from 
Moonlight Shadow gives a degree of mobility, which can make Mirana or her teammates a difficult target to hook.
* 
Sacred Arrow can be used to cancel Dismember within a distance.
Bounty Hunter
* Heroes with spells that negate invisibility such as Bounty Hunter, 
Zeus and Slardar prevent her from saving her allies with Moonlight Shadow.
Zeus
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 15%)Bounty Hunter
* Bounty Hunter has a very low health pool, allowing Zeus to burst him down quickly.
* Zeus can cast Lightning Bolt to gain True Sight in any area he suspects Bounty Hunter may be invisible or any area he thinks Bounty Hunter may have warded.
* If Bounty Hunter tries to escape a gank by using Shadow Walk, Zeus can gain vision of him with both Lightning Bolt and Thundergod's Wrath.
Additional:
* 
Lightning Bolt makes roaming behind enemy lines more and more difficult as Zeus becomes powerful enough to spam it. Also, Zeus' Ultimate 
Thundergod's Wrath reveals Bounty Hunter regardless of his position.
Pudge
* Meat Hook's high range allows Pudge's team to drag Zeus in the middle of the fight and abuse his frailty.
* Flesh Heap's health and magic resistance bonus makes Pudge exceptionally resistant to Zeus' nukes. In later stages of the game, Zeus is usually unable to seriously damage Pudge at all. Even Static Field, which deals damage based on a percentage of the enemy's health, won't be doing much.
* Even if Zeus buys a Black King Bar, Meat Hook and Dismember still disable him for a long time, usually causing Zeus' quick death.
* Zeus is vulnerable to early ganks, which Pudge excels at.
Additional:
* Zeus likes to stay far back in fights, dealing his damage uninterrupted, but once he gets hooked into the fight, he usually dies very quickly.
* Pudge's high strength from Flesh Heap make it very hard for Zeus to burst him down.
* Zeus' low health pool makes him very vulnerable to the damage from Meat Hook, Rot and Dismember.
Spectre
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 20%)Bounty Hunter
* Spectre can instantly reveal Bounty Hunter's position on the activation of her ultimate 
Haunt. She can also semi-reveal(visible but not target-able) Bounty Hunter by hitting him with 
Spectral Dagger.
Pudge
* Pudge's Dismember does not allow Spectre to escape with Haunt.
* He can easily tank the damage reflected by 
Dispersion due to his high strength and the healing from Dismember.
* Should Spectre try to get away through the trees or over a cliff with Spectral Dagger, Pudge can hook her back.
* Spectre takes a long time to come online, and Pudge can ruin her early game with ganks.
Bloodseeker
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 5%)Bounty Hunter
* Bloodseeker's 
Rupture can turn Bounty Hunter's mobility against him, and prevents him from escaping with Shadow Walk due to the potentially heavy damage.
* 
Thirst can prevent Bounty Hunter from escaping with Shadow Walk should Bounty Hunter's health become low enough.
Pudge
* Pudge's high health pool will make him have possibilities of escaping Rupture.
Clinkz
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 56% pickrate: 9%)Pudge
* Heroes with a high degree of mobility and invisibility are hard to catch with Meat Hook: Ember Spirit, Riki, Clinkz, Queen of Pain.
Bounty Hunter
* Invisibility reliant heroes: Heroes with invisibility abilities or those that have invested into invisibility items are hindered by Bounty Hunter's Track. Few examples of such heroes are:Clinkz, Riki, Treant Protector, etc.
Additional:
* Track reveals Clinkz if he tries to escape with Skeleton Walk and gaining Bounty Hunter a lots of gold.
* Jinada with physical damage items can quickly kill Clinkz, due to his low health.
Bounty Hunter
* Phantasm dispels
Track, and the illusions make it difficult to Track the real Chaos Knight.
* Bounty Hunter is fragile and can easily be killed by Chaos Knight and Phantasm's illusions.
Pudge
* Phantasm's illusions make it difficult to land
Meat Hook and 
Dismember.
Dismember.
Rot's damage.
* Chaos Bolt is a comparatively low cooldown tool to interrupt
* Chaos Strike's lifesteal offsets
