Silencer
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 7%)Rubick
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 17%)Sand King

Jakiro
* Fade Bolt can hinder Jakiro's early pushing power by clearing creep waves.
* All of Jakiro's spells are great for Rubick to Spell Steal.

Bristleback
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 9%)Sand King

Blink Dagger on cooldown, preventing him from escaping.

Tidehunter
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 9%)Sand King
* Ravage, being an AoE disable, cancels Epicenter's channeling from a long range, limiting his potential to counter-initiate.

Blink Dagger.
Phoenix
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 9%)Sand King
* Sand King has nothing to deal with Supernova, as none of his spells are effective.

Lifestealer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 5%)Jakiro
* Rage grants Lifestealer immunity to all of Jakiro's spells. Note: magic resistance will not dispel the attack speed slow effects from Dual Breath and Liquid Fire.

Sand King
* Heroes that rely on slows to get kills: Lifestealer,
Night Stalker,

Blink Dagger, effectively reducing Sand King's initiation and counter-initiation potential.

* Jakiro can disrupt Nature's Prophet's escape attempt with Teleportation with Ice Path.

Nature's Call, but also can free Jakiro from
Sprout.

Templar Assassin
[wiki] rating: -2.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Sand King
* Sand King can quickly remove her Refraction with his Sand Storm.
* Once Refraction is down, she is very vulnerable to Epicenter's high magic damage.
Jakiro

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.
