Bristleback
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 5%)Night Stalker
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 6%)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.
Oracle
* Heroes with long disables, like 
Lion, Night Stalker, or 
Legion Commander, can prevent Oracle from using spells or items.
Anti-Mage
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 16%)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.
* 
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.
Oracle
* Anti-Mage can withstand magical burst damage much better than other carries, making him effective against nukers: 
Lich, 
Necrophos, 
Oracle, and 
Leshrac.
Additional:
* Oracle has minimal damage potential against Anti-Mage due to Counterspell, and may even have some ability damage reflected at himself.
* Anti-Mage can easily overwhelm Oracle with Mana Break and Mana Void.
* Blink allows Anti-Mage to easily chase and take advantage of Oracle's low mobility.
Visage
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (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.
Oracle
* Because Oracle uses few, powerful instances of damage to kill enemies, 
Templar Assassin's 
Refraction and 
Visage's 
Gravekeeper's Cloak can absorb his burst damage.
Timbersaw
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (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.
Oracle
* Heroes who are not easily crippled by Fate's Edict or Fortune's End, such as 
Timbersaw, or those who can dispel them, such as 
Phantom Lancer, can kill Oracle unhindered.
Clinkz
[wiki] rating: 1.2 (winrate: 57% pickrate: 10%)Pudge
* Heroes with a high degree of mobility and invisibility are hard to catch with Meat Hook: 
Ember Spirit, 
Riki, 
Clinkz, 
Queen of Pain.
Oracle
* Heroes who can take advantage of Oracle's low mobility or catch him out of position, such as Clinkz and 
Anti-Mage, can easily pick him off.
Elder Titan
[wiki] rating: 1.2 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 2%)Oracle
* 
Elder Titan's 
Echo Stomp can turn into a 5 second stun on an ally under the effect of False Promise, as it delays all damage and makes it impossible to break the damage threshold of Echo Stomp.
Pudge
* Slow heroes that have a hard time escaping the Echo Stomp radius: 
Crystal Maiden, 
Pudge, 
Techies.
Phantom Lancer
[wiki] rating: 1.2 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 5%)Oracle
* Heroes who are not easily crippled by Fate's Edict or Fortune's End, such as Timbersaw, or those who can dispel them, such as Phantom Lancer, can kill Oracle unhindered.
Pudge
* Heroes with many summons or illusions are much harder to catch with Meat Hook: 
Nature's Prophet, Phantom Lancer, 
Chen.
Clockwerk
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 53% 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.
Tidehunter
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)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.
Windranger
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 24%)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.
Chaos Knight
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 3%)Pudge
* Phantasm's illusions make it difficult to land Meat Hook and Dismember.
* Chaos Bolt is a comparatively low cooldown tool to interrupt Dismember.
* Chaos Strike's lifesteal offsets 
Rot's damage.
Weaver
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% 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.
Earth Spirit
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 7%)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.
Nyx Assassin
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% 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.
Axe
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 10%)Oracle
* False Promise will not save an ally from 
Culling Blade if their health is low enough.
* Fate's Edict, offensively or defensively, does little to protect Oracle's allies from the majority of Axe's damage.
Abaddon
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 3%)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.
Dazzle
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 5%)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.
Chen
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% 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
Ursa
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 6%)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.
Slark
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 13%)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).
Terrorblade
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 8%)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.
Lifestealer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 8%)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.
Outworld Devourer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% 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.
Io
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 4%)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.
Broodmother
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 3%)Oracle
* Oracle cannot easily deal with swarms of units, making him weak against heroes like Phantom Lancer or 
Broodmother.
Riki
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 5%)Pudge
* Heroes with a high degree of mobility and invisibility are hard to catch with Meat Hook: Ember Spirit, Riki, Clinkz, Queen of Pain.
Undying
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 6%)Pudge
* Anti-Tank heroes like: 
Razor, Necrophos, 
Undying.
Legion Commander
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% 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.
Oracle
* Heroes with long disables, like Lion, Night Stalker, or Legion Commander, can prevent Oracle from using spells or items.
Oracle
* 
Fate's Edict prevents Legion Commander from attacking for a few seconds, potentially saving Oracle's ally.
* 
Fortune's End dispels Press the Attack's healing and attack speed buff, as well as the movement speed bonus from Overwhelming Odds.
* 
False Promise protects allies and prevents Legion Commander from winning Duels and gaining bonus damage.
Additional:
* Provided that the enemy team does not have an 
Axe, Oracle can guarantee that his ally survives for the duration of the Duel with False Promise and has decent nuke potential to help ally to win a Duel. He can also disarm Legion Commander with Fate's Edict.
* Oracle can dispel enemy buffs like 
Overwhelming Odds and Press the Attack with Fortune's End.
Death Prophet
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 2%)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.
Earthshaker
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 12%)Pudge
* Heroes with channeled abilities can be interrupted by a long-range Fissure: Crystal Maiden, 
Witch Doctor, 
Bane, 
Pugna, Pudge.
Queen of Pain

[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 10%)Pudge
* Heroes with powerful channeling abilities are easily interrupted by Phantom's Embrace: Bane, Pudge, Witch Doctor, Crystal Maiden, 
Enigma.
Nature's Prophet
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 7%)Pudge
* Heroes with many summons or illusions are much harder to catch with Meat Hook: Nature's Prophet, Phantom Lancer, Chen.
Bounty Hunter
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 5%)Pudge
* Bounty Hunter can easily keep vision on Pudge with Track, making it difficult for Pudge to hook Bounty Hunter or his team mates.
* It's difficult for Pudge to keep up with Bounty Hunter to apply Rot on him due to Shadow Walk.
* Shuriken Toss cancels out Dismember from a good range if Bounty Hunter is not a target.
Additional:
* 
Track can easily keep vision on Pudge, making it impossible to catch up with his Meat Hook for Bounty Hunter's teammates or him.
* It's very difficult for Pudge to use Rot on and hook Bounty Hunter due to 
Shadow Walk.
* 
Shuriken Toss cancels out Dismember from a good range.
Oracle
* Oracle with Fortune's End and False Promise
* 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.
Doom
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 9%)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.
Oracle
* Heroes with the ability to heal allies, or those with good defensive abilities: (Chen, 
Dazzle, 
Io, Oracle, Omniknight, Witch Doctor, 
Winter Wyvern, (Abaddon, etc.
Lina
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 13%)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.
Shadow Demon
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 3%)Oracle
* 
Disruption can protect Shadow Demon's allies from Fortune's End, preserving healing or buffs. It can also catch Oracle's allies, allowing 
Shadow Poison and 
Soul Catcher to be used without being dispelled.
* 
Demonic Purge prevents over-time healing during False Promise, such as Purifying Flames and 
Urn of Shadows. If he has Aghanim's Scepter, this issue can persist for longer or on multiple allies.
* It will not, however, prevent healing from instant abilities, items, or auras, making 
Mekansm a good choice against him.
Oracle
* Heroes who can dispel will be able to remove Shadow Poison before Shadow Demon can build up a big stack, or remove Soul Catcher's debuff to instantly bring the health of affected heroes back to a considerable amount: Abaddon, Slark, Legion Commander, Oracle.
Dark Willow
[wiki] rating: -2.0 (winrate: 51% 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.
Oracle
* Fortune's End can easily dispel 
Cursed Crown before it times out and stuns. He can also save a stunned ally with False Promise.
* Fate's Edict can easily negate 
Bedlam's over-time damage, since the spell provides no form of control. Similarly, he can also negate the magic burst from 
Shadow Realm.
* Fortune's End can dispel the fear effect from 
Terrorize, and it can remove the root from 
Bramble Maze if you're quick enough. Be mindful that Fortune's End only dispels your allies' debuffs on the primary target.
Additional:
* Fortune's End not being disjointable is almost an ensured disable if Dark Willow tries to escape with Shadow Realm. Dispels Cursed Crown and Terrorize.
* Fate's Edict negates all her magic damage in case she catches a single hero.
* False Promise's strong dispel removes Dark Willow's disables.
Sniper
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 6%)Oracle
* Fortune's End can catch out or impair position-based heroes with low mobility, such as 
Sniper or Razor.
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.
Witch Doctor
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 13%)Oracle
* It is especially easy for Oracle to negate the damage from Maledict, and even heal through it with Fate's Edict and 
Purifying Flames.
* If by some miracle an enemy is still about to die because of Maledict, he can still save him with False Promise.
Pudge
* Heroes that have a channeled ability can be interrupted by Meat Hook: Pugna, 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.
Techies
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 7%)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.
Oracle
* Since Techies' skills are all magical damage, casting Fate's Edict immediately upon hearing the warning sound from Proximity Mines and 
Blast Off! can render Oracle or an ally immune to the burst damage from these skills.
* If timed correctly, 
Remote Mines can also be countered using the same technique.
Additional:
* Fate's Edict gives 100% magic resistance, which prevents most of Techies' damage and his Fortune's End dispels Stasis Trap root.
Pugna
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Pudge
* Heroes that have a channeled ability can be interrupted by Meat Hook: Pugna, Witch Doctor, Enigma, Bane.
Oracle
* Most of Pugna's damage is magical, which can get blocked by Fate's Edict's 100% magic resistance.
* Oracle has two abilities that apply a dispel, which can easily remove Decrepify on his ally or Oracle.
* Oracle has a very long Attack Range and a very low Base Attack Time, which enables him to take down Nether Ward swiftly from long distance.
Juggernaut
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 19%)Pudge
* Meat Hook can hit and displace Juggernaut during his Blade Fury.
* Dismember pierces Juggernaut's spell immunity from Blade Fury.
Oracle
* Heroes with abilities that can save are also effective such as 
Shadow Demon, Dazzle, Oracle, Bane, Pugna, 
Tusk, Winter Wyvern, Io, 
Underlord, 
Treant Protector and 
Keeper of the Light.
Phantom Assassin
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 13%)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.
Oracle
* Fate's Edict cripples many heroes who rely on attacks, such as 
Phantom Assassin, 
Sven, or 
Enchantress, without a dispel or a Black King Bar.
Crystal Maiden
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 13%)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.
Oracle
* Heroes with little health or magic resistance are easily picked off with Oracle's magic burst, such as 
Skywrath Mage, Crystal Maiden, or Enchantress.
Bane
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 6%)Oracle
* Heroes with dispels can dispel Bane's disables from their allies: Oracle, Legion Commander, Omniknight
Pudge
* Heroes that have a channeled ability can be interrupted by Meat Hook: Pugna, 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 targetted.
* Pudge's high health and health regeneration let him absorb much of Bane's nukes.
Batrider
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 3%)Oracle
* False Promise dispels Flaming Lasso.
* Fortune's End can root Batrider after he uses Flaming Lasso. It can also dispel Sticky Napalm and Flamebreak.
* Fate's Edict when used on a Lasso'd target will leave them immune to magical damage, making it difficult to burst them quickly before the Lasso ends.
Tinker
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 5%)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.
Rubick
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 21%)Oracle
* Oracle's high magic damage output can easily take down Rubick's low health pool.
* Because Oracle likes to combine his spells together, the only good 
Spell Steal target he gives is False Promise. This scenario can be avoided by shift queueing Fortune's End and casting it immediately, as it has no cast point, or by staying in the back line of fights if out of mana.
* As a position based hero, Rubick will have a very hard time against Fortune's End due to its absurd range and very long root duration.
Leshrac
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 2%)Oracle
* Oracle's Fate's Edict will protect an ally from Leshrac's nuking damage.
* Oracle's False Promise can dispel Leshrac's stun and slow from his abilities, allowing an ally to escape.
* Fortune's End can stop Leshrac from chasing opponents or running away.
Snapfire
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 8%)Pudge
* Meat Hook can be used immediately after 
Mortimer Kisses since Snapfire is forced to stay in place.
Troll Warlord
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 4%)Oracle
* Fate's Edict can disarm Troll, rendering him useless in a teamfight, especially if he has already used Battle Trance.
* Fortune's End and Purifying Flames can provide ample magic damage to help burst down Troll Warlord quickly in the early to mid game.
* False Promise can save an ally from Troll Warlord's initiation, forcing him to switch targets and lose his Fervor stacks, or waste time during Battle Trance.
Ancient Apparition
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 7%)Oracle
* False Promise can prevent the shatter from 
Ice Blast and Fate's Edict can protect an ally from the magical damage over time for a while.
* Oracle can deny allies who are frostbitten. If he uses Purifying Flames to reach the shatter threshold, it will count as a deny.
* Fortune's End can dispel 
Cold Feet on affected allies, preventing them from getting frozen.
Additional:
* False Promise can dispel the stun from Cold Feet and can save an ally that's about to shatter from Ice Blast, even allowing healing with Purifying Flames because of the delayed effect.
* Purifying Flames also allows Oracle to deny his allies if they're affected by Ice Blast. If he brings his allies' health to or below the shatter threshold, it will count as him denying the ally.
* Fate's Edict is good against all of Ancient Apparition's abilities at all stages of the game.
* Fortune's End can dispel Cold Feet from allies.
Omniknight
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 1%)Oracle
* Fortune's End's AoE dispel will remove Guardian Angel.
Additional:
* With Fortune's End, Oracle can dispel 
Guardian Angel in an area of effect.
Jakiro
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 14%)Oracle
* Fate's Edict allowed Oracle to make allies spell immune, allowing him to save allies from Jakiro's spells.
* Fate's Edict can be cast onto Jakiro to disarm him and prevent him from pushing with his Liquid Fire.
* False Promise allows Oracle to free allies from Jakiro's Ice Path.
Luna
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 5%)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.
Beastmaster
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 2%)Oracle
* False Promise effectively nullifies Primal Roar's single-target initiation on allies.
* Purifying Flames kills Beastmaster's Hawk instantly and Boar with two casts.

* False Promise can dispel Ignite and Fireblast.
Bloodseeker
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 6%)Pudge
* Pudge's high health pool will make him have possibilities of escaping 
Rupture.
Zeus
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 14%)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.
Dark Seer
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 5%)Oracle
* Fortune's End can dispel 
Ion Shell, which cripples Dark Seer economy since it's his most efficient tool for farming.
* Fortune's End can dispel 
Surge, effectively slowing his movement speed making him vulnerable to ganks or skirmishes.
Additional:
* Fortune's End dispels Ion Shell and Surge, making any gank attempt on Dark Seer in the laning phase unlikely to succeed.
* Fate's Edict prevents all magical damage that comes from Dark Seer's abilities.
* Fortune's End dispels Ion Shell on creeps, which Dark Seer relies on to farm and zone.
Drow Ranger
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 13%)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.
Keeper of the Light
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 43% pickrate: 3%)Oracle
* Heroes with dispels: Legion Commander, Oracle, Slark
Enchantress
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 3%)Oracle
* Heroes with little health or magic resistance are easily picked off with Oracle's magic burst, such as Skywrath Mage, Crystal Maiden, or Enchantress.
Puck
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 6%)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.
Meepo
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 47% 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.
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
Shadow Fiend
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 11%)Pudge
* Heroes with channeling spells because Shadow Fiend has nothing to cancel channeling: Bane, Enigma, Pudge, 
Shadow Shaman.
Mars
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 9%)Oracle
* Heroes with high magical or pure damage will bypass Bulwark: Timbersaw, 
Dark Willow, Enigma, 
Invoker, Pugna, Skywrath Mage, 
Tinker, 
Zeus, Oracle.
Magnus
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 14%)Oracle
* Any hero who can counter-initiate in anticipation without getting caught in Reverse Polarity: Sven, Omniknight, Enigma, 
Luna, Naga Siren, 
Mars, 
Jakiro, 
Venomancer, Elder Titan, 
Faceless Void, 
Rubick, Keeper of the Light, Pugna, Invoker, 
Spectre, 
Alchemist, Treant Protector, 
Lina, Oracle, Zeus, Shadow Shaman, 
Phoenix, Razor, Huskar, Batrider, 
Kunkka, Tidehunter, 
Wraith King, 
Sand King.
Shadow Shaman
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)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.
Void Spirit
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 12%)Oracle
* Heroes that can purge his slow and disables are very difficult to go on and their team: Abaddon, Oracle.
Skywrath Mage
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 7%)Oracle
* Heroes with little health or magic resistance are easily picked off with Oracle's magic burst, such as Skywrath Mage, Crystal Maiden, or Enchantress.
Faceless Void
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 17%)Oracle
* 
Time Walk and 
Backtrack allow Faceless Void to easily negate Oracle's burst damage.
* 
Time Dilation is effective against Oracle's low-cooldown spells. Although dispellable with Fortune's End, it can still catch Oracle off guard if Fortune's End is on cooldown.
Pudge
* Meat Hook can pull an ally out of Chronosphere.
* Rot will keep damaging Void if he toggled it before Chronosphere.
* Flesh Heap will help Pudge survive through the Chronosphere with enough stacks, and follow with Dismember.
Oracle
* Any hero that can nullify effects of Chronosphere: (Omniknight, Keeper of the Light with Aghanim's Scepter during daytime, Winter Wyvern), banishing him or Faceless Void (
Outworld Devourer, Shadow Demon, 
Earth Spirit with Aghanim's Scepter) or protecting him in other ways (Dazzle, Oracle, Abaddon) can greatly limit Chronosphere's potential.
Sven
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 14%)Oracle
* Fate's Edict cripples many heroes who rely on attacks, such as Phantom Assassin, Sven, or Enchantress, without a dispel or a Black King Bar.
Enigma
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 3%)Pudge
* Heroes that have a channeled ability can be interrupted by Meat Hook: Pugna, Witch Doctor, Enigma, Bane.
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 abilities can mitigate Midnight Pulse's damage.
Wraith King
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 8%)Oracle
* Heroes with area dispel can kill multiple skeletons at once: 
Brewmaster, Oracle.
Venomancer
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 12%)Oracle
* Fortune's End and False Promise easily dispel many crippling debuffs, such as Venomancer's 
Venomous Gale, or Skywrath Mage's 
Ancient Seal.
Additional:
* Fortune's End can dispel Venomous Gale and Poison Sting from allies.
* Fate's Edict grants 100% magic resistance to target, inhibiting the damage from Venomancer abilities.
Ember Spirit
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 11%)Pudge
* Heroes with a high degree of mobility and invisibility are hard to catch with Meat Hook: Ember Spirit, Riki, Clinkz, Queen of Pain.
Oracle
* Oracle can shut down both of Ember's early game abilities. Fortune's End can dispel 
Flame Guard on Ember Spirit and 
Searing Chains on allies.
* When Ember Spirit is affected by Fortune's End, his 
Fire Remnants move at 0 movement speed.
* Disarming him with Fate's Edict does affect Ember's 
Sleight of Fist ability, possibly making him useless for a few seconds in the late game without a dispel or spell immunity. This is especially good if he has a rapier or two. However, positioning for this is difficult when Ember plays far back.
Templar Assassin
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 6%)Oracle
* Because Oracle uses few, powerful instances of damage to kill enemies, Templar Assassin's Refraction and Visage's Gravekeeper's Cloak can absorb his burst damage.
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.
Phoenix
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 13%)Pudge
* Heroes with high health especially Strength heroes will take more damage on Sun Ray: Axe, Pudge, Bristleback, Mars.
Oracle
* Phoenix does significant magic damage over time which can either be dispelled or negated by Fate's Edict.
* Since Phoenix sacrifices some of his health to cast abilities it makes him very vulnerable to Oracle's burst potential
Monkey King
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 6%)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.
Lion
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 15%)Oracle
* Heroes with long disables, like Lion, Night Stalker, or Legion Commander, can prevent Oracle from using spells or items.
Oracle
* Lion is extremely dependent on his abilities. Silences like 
Silencer's 
Last Word, magic resistance like Oracle's Fate's Edict, and dispels like Legion Commander's Press the Attack all make his abilities less effective.
Silencer
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 6%)Oracle
* Oracle's reliance on spamming his spells can be easily hindered by Silencer's Arcane Curse.
* Last Word and Global Silence negates Oracle's attempt to save his allies with his spells.
* Fate's Edict is useless against Glaives of Wisdom's pure damage.
Oracle
* Fortune's End can nullify 
Arcane Curse, Last Word, and 
Global Silence, if cast at the right time with the right targets.
* Fate's Edict can prevent Silencer from attacking, which he relies on with 
Glaives of Wisdom, for a lot of his damage.
Razor
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 1%)Pudge
* Anti-Tank heroes like: Razor, Necrophos, Undying.
Oracle
* Fortune's End can catch out or impair position-based heroes with low mobility, such as Sniper or Razor.
Slardar
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 9%)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.
Oracle
* Fortune's End applies a basic dispel which can be used to dispel Corrosive Haze, or even Slardar's own Guardian Sprint.
* False Promise is able to dispel Corrosive Haze and Slithereen Crush stun/slow from any allies Oracle chooses to cast it on.
* Fate's Edict can also be cast on Slardar to prevent him from proccing his Bash of the Deep.
Mirana
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 13%)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.
Oracle
* Heroes that can protect or dispel stunned allies such as Legion Commander, Outworld Devourer, Shadow Demon and Oracle can reduce the effectiveness of Sacred Arrow.
Necrophos
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 7%)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 a certain threshold, 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.
Oracle
* Fortune's End can dispel 
Ghost Shroud, rending Necrophos vulnerable to physical damage. Also it's worth noting that Necrophos takes additional magic damage when in Ethereal state, which makes Purifying Flames a powerful nuke against him.
* Fate's Edict fully negates the damage from Reaper's Scythe, which its own delayed animation makes it relatively easy to predict and nullify.
Additional:
* During the laning stage, Oracle's Purifying Flames nullifies any damage that Heartstopper Aura might inflict.
* Fate's Edict and False Promise can protect an ally from Reaper's Scythe.
* Oracle can dispel Ghost Shroud with Fortune's End.
Spectre
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 17%)Oracle
* Oracle's burst damage is ineffective against 
Dispersion.
* Disarm provided by Fate's Edict is not as significant debilitation for Spectre as it might be for other carries since She can do damage even without landing attacks.
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.
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.
Viscous Nasal Goo and 
Quill Spray due to his naturally low armor & poor agility gain.
Bristleback makes him a poor target for Pudge.
Additional:
* Pudge is particularly susceptible to Bristleback's
* Bristleback, in combination with his strength gain, high health, common itemization for magic resistance and damage reduction from
Oracle
* Fortune's End cannot dispel
Warpath stacks on Bristleback or 
Quill Spray stacks on allies.
Bristleback can heavily reduce Oracle's damage output. With it, Oracle may accidentally heal Bristleback with Purifying Flames, especially if Bristleback has bonus magic resistance.
*
