[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)Sand King

Last Word punishes casters with spammable spells such as Sand King.

* Arcane Curse punishes Grimstroke for spamming Stroke of Fate.
* Global Silence takes Grimstroke out of team fights entirely.
Rubick
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 16%)Sand King
* Burrowstrike is one of the best and easiest steals for Rubick and Sand King should be careful when playing against him - it's much better to give away Sand Storm.
Grimstroke
* Spell Steal allows Rubick to claim Grimstroke's powerful abilities for his own, all of which are valuable.
* Arcane Supremacy increases the efficacy of stolen abilities.
Zeus
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 8%)Grimstroke
* Heroes with powerful spammable abilities will prove problematic for Grimstroke as Ink Swell does not protect him from them: Zeus,
Skywrath Mage,

Lina

Tidehunter
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 10%)Sand King
* Ravage, being an AoE disable, cancels Epicenter's channeling from a long range, limiting his potential to counter-initiate.
* This can be remedied, however, by first using a Black King Bar, then channel Epicenter, then finally initiate with
Blink Dagger.
Earth Spirit
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 10%)Sand King
* Boulder Smash will push Sand King out of Sand Storm to reveal his position or an activated Epicenter off of Earth Spirit's allies, potentially wasting his combo

Geomagnetic Grip allow Earth Spirit to easily stun and silence Sand King and interrupt the channeling of Epicenter, completely ruining his initiation.
Riki

[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 6%)Grimstroke

Phantom Lancer
[wiki] rating: -2.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 10%)Sand King
* All of Sand King's abilities deal AoE damage.

Grimstroke
* Stroke of Fate clears Phantom Lancer's illusion easily as it deals bonus damage to more targets.

* Phantom's Embrace and
Soulbind have an undispellable debuff that can be used to mark the real Phantom Lancer.

* Phantom's Embrace and Ink Swell's stun can prevent Phantom Lancer from escaping with Doppelganger if properly timed.
* If he has already used Doppelganger, Soulbind can tie Phantom Lancer to one of his own illusions to keep him in place, or to ensure a kill if Grimstroke's team is unsure which one is the real hero.
Terrorblade
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 4%)Grimstroke
* Terrorblade's lack of escape mechanisms makes it hard for him to escape both Ink Swell and Stroke of Fate.
* Phantom's Embrace's silence will also prevent him from casting Sunder to save himself.
Sand King
* Because of his massive AoE damage, Sand King is very effective against illusion heroes: Chaos Knight,
Phantom Lancer,
Terrorblade,...
Broodmother
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 2%)Grimstroke
* Heroes with area of effect abilities that increase in power based on the number of units struck: Legion Commander,
Grimstroke.
Additional:
* Stroke of Fate can deal heavy damage to Broodmother and her spiders, and with enough spiders it can kill her instantly.
* Phantom's Embrace provides vision on Broodmother when she's fleeing into the trees.
Sand King
* Caustic Finale allows Sand King to easily kill Broodmother's Spiderlings throughout the game.
* Sand King can usually catch a split pushing Broodmother with Blink Dagger and Burrowstrike.
Additional:

[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 16%)Grimstroke

Sand King
* Heroes that rely on slows to get kills: Lifestealer,
Night Stalker,
Ursa,...
Chaos Knight
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 3%)Sand King

* He can apply Caustic Finale to illusions with attacks for extra damage.
Grimstroke

Broodmother,
Naga Siren.
Naga Siren
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 2%)Sand King

* Soulbind pierces spell immunity and prevents Faceless Void from escaping with Time Walk.
Nature's Prophet
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 5%)Sand King
* Sand King has many tools to deal with Nature's Prophet's treants.
* Sand King also can interrupt Teleportation with Burrowstrike.

* Burrowstrike allows Sand King to prevent Nature's Prophet from using Teleportation inside of his
Sprout.
Phantom Assassin
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 16%)Sand King
* Phantom Assassin relies on her Blur to stay alive, but is very vulnerable to Sand King's heavy magic damage.
* With Burrowstrike, Sand King can often catch Phantom Assassin before she can use her Black King Bar.
* Sand King can dodge Stifling Dagger with Sandstorm.
* Phantom Assassin has a hard time killing Sand King because of his high mobility.
Meepo
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 1%)Sand King
* Burrowstrike can stun multiple Meepos, making them vulnerable targets.
* Epicenter and Sand Storm's AoE damage ensures all Meepo clones get damaged, making it hard for Meepo to choose which one to flee as all are taking damage at the same rate.
* Just be aware when using Sand Storm to escape, as Meepo has good AoE damage and disables, which, as explained in the "Bad Against" section, works well against an invisible Sand King.
Lone Druid
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 1%)Grimstroke
* Grimstroke's Soulbind will always reliably connect onto both of them if they are close together.
Timbersaw
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 8%)Grimstroke
* Timbersaw relies heavily on his abilities so Phantom's Embrace's silence makes it more difficult for him.
* Timbersaw cannot use Return Chakram or attack the phantom during Phantom's Embrace, forcing him to take full damage and refreshes Phantom's Embrace's cooldown.
Pangolier
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 12%)Grimstroke
* Soulbind ignores spell immunity, forcing Pangolier to roll in place during his ultimate as well as anchoring the other victim to his vicinity.
Crystal Maiden
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 14%)Grimstroke
* Phantom's Embrace can silence Crystal Maiden and disrupt Freezing Field's channeling. Her slow movement speed and fragile nature will also make her an easy target for Stroke of Fate and Ink Swell.
Necrophos
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 3%)Grimstroke
* Ghost Shroud amplifies damage taken from all of Grimstroke's abilities. Necrophos is particularly vulnerable to Ink Swell and Phantom's Embrace while in Ghost Shroud.
* Death Pulse works against Necrophos in lane by keeping his creeps alive and add damage to Stroke of Fate.
Weaver
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 13%)Grimstroke
* Phantom's Embrace and Soulbind prevent Weaver from using Shukuchi or
Time Lapse to escape.
* Ink Swell discourages Weaver from moving through and damaging allies with Shukuchi.
Io
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 7%)Grimstroke
* Grimstroke can catch Io and his ally easily with SoulBind as Io has a tendency to tether himself with an ally frequently.
* Io is highly vulnerable to disables. Hence, Grimstroke's Phantom's Embrace is a great ability to hinder Io's potential.
Additional:
* Soulbind can target both Io and its Tethered ally, allowing Grimstroke and his team to target both with single target spells. Should Io try to
Relocate, Phantom's Embrace can stop its channel to prevent escape.

* Burrowstrike and
Sand Storm will deal a large amount of damage to Chen's creeps.
* Caustic Finale will quickly clear Chen's creeps at low health.

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.
