* Impale and
Spiked Carapace stun can be instantly dispelled by Aphotic Shield.
* If he isn't hit with break by Vendetta, Abaddon can use Borrowed Time and easily heal for the duration of Borrowed Time by his burst damage.
Faceless Void
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 41% pickrate: 4%)Razor
* Time Walk can break Static Link very quickly, preventing Razor from building up attack damage.
Abaddon
* Mist Coil and
Aphotic Shield enable Abaddon to keep an ally alive during Chronosphere.
* Borrowed Time prevents Faceless Void from killing Abaddon during his Chronosphere.
Earth Spirit
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 8%)Razor
* Boulder Smash's and
Geomagnetic Grip's (upgraded with
Aghanim's Scepter) repositioning and disables make it very difficult for Razor to keep enemies within range of Static Link and Eye of the Storm.
Abaddon
* Aphotic Shield is a strong dispel, meaning it can save allies from Earth Spirit's stun, slow, silence, and Magnetize.
* Borrowed Time makes it nearly impossible for Earth Spirit to kill Abaddon.
Chaos Knight
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 3%)Razor
* Razor has no way to deal with Chaos Knight's multiple illusions from Phantasm.
Abaddon
* Abaddon could punish Chaos Knight for using Phantasm and Reality Rift combo on him with his Aphotic Shield. Additionally, it provides extra protection against Chaos Knight's potential to take Abaddon down quickly.
* Furthermore, Abaddon's Borrowed Time makes it utterly impossible to burst Abaddon down.
Huskar
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 3%)Razor
* Life Break along with
Burning Spear can quickly kill Razor before Static Link steals enough damage for Razor to take down Huskar.
* Berserker's Blood can make stealing Huskar's damage and using it against him somewhat dangerous, as Huskar will be able to inflict more and more Burning Spears rapidly.
Abaddon
* Huskar's damage over time gives Abaddon the opportunity to shield and heal his allies.
* Borrowed Time also makes Abaddon a hard support to gank, thus negating Huskar's early game dominance.
Night Stalker
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 5%)Abaddon
* Heroes that have long silences, such as Night Stalker and
Silencer, will prevent Abaddon from saving his allies effectively and disable the active component of Borrowed Time.
Razor
* Heroes with stronger lane presence that can threaten to kill him: Batrider,
Juggernaut,
Ursa,
Monkey King,
Razor.
To start select enemy heroes in the field above. It's intended to be used with multiple heroes. The more enemy heroes you provide the better results you will get.
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.

Abaddon
*
Astral Imprisonment wastes Borrowed Time's duration.
Sanity's Eclipse can kill Abaddon before Borrowed Time triggers.
* Outworld Destroyer's
Razor
* Outworld Destroyer doesn't care if Razor steals his damage because he does most of his damage through
Arcane Orb.
Astral Imprisonment can prevent Razor from using the stolen damage from Static Link or chasing with Eye of the Storm.
Sanity's Eclipse will do a ton of damage to Razor due to his low mana pool.
