Axe
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 10%)Night Stalker
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 6%)Shadow Fiend
* 
Void can be used to cancel Requiem of Souls.
* 
Crippling Fear prevents Shadow Fiend from using Shadowraze or Requiem of Souls.
* With 
Dark Ascension and 
Gem of True Sight, Night Stalker can find and kill Shadow Fiend easily. He is also a tanky hero that can fight Shadow Fiend at any stage of the game.
Oracle
* Heroes with long disables, like 
Lion, 
Night Stalker, or 
Legion Commander, can prevent Oracle from using spells or items.
Templar Assassin
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (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.
Shadow Fiend
* Shadow Fiend's fragility and lack of a natural escape mechanism makes him a great target for Templar Assassin's Meld.
* Shadow Fiend's burst damage, such as 
Shadowraze and 
Requiem of Souls, is easily nullified by her Refraction.
Anti-Mage
[wiki] rating: 1.2 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 16%)Shadow Fiend
* Heroes who build mana boosting items but have low mana regeneration are especially vulnerable against Mana Break and Mana Void: 
Timbersaw, 
Slark, 
Shadow Fiend, 
Clinkz, 
Bristleback 
Nyx Assassin, 
Magnus
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.
Zeus
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 14%)Shadow Fiend

Shadow Blade.
Spectre
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (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.
Warlock
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 8%)Shadow Fiend
* Lacking escaping mechanisms, being dependent on fair positioning and channeling for his ultimate, its easier to Warlock with your long range crowd control abilities to lock the Shadow Fiend down to your team.
Spirit Breaker
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Shadow Fiend
* 
Charge of Darkness allows Spirit Breaker to gank Shadow Fiend in the early game, preventing him from getting Necromastery stacks.
* 
Nether Strike and Charge of Darkness can be used to prevent Shadow Fiend from casting Requiem of Souls.
Tidehunter
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Shadow Fiend
* 
Kraken Shell dispels both Shadowraze's damage amplification stacks and Requiem of Soul's damage reduction (provided Tidehunter has taken enough damage).
* 
Ravage cancels Requiem of Souls if Shadow Fiend isn't protected by 
Black King Bar.
Additional:
* Kraken Shell dispels the damage amplification stacks of Shadowraze as well as the damage reduction from Requiem of Souls (provided he has taken enough damage).
* Anchor Smash reduces Shadow Fiend's large attack damage, Kraken Shell makes Tidehunter the last target Shadow Fiend wants to attack.
* Ravage can easily cancel Requiem of Souls if Shadow Fiend isn't protected by Black King Bar.
Viper
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 5%)Shadow Fiend
* 
Nethertoxin breaks both Necromastery and Presence of the Dark Lord, reducing his damage massively.
* 
Corrosive Skin gives Viper bonus Magic Resistance against Shadowraze and Requiem of Souls.
* Viper can easily take advantage of Shadow Fiend's lack of escape and mobility spells with 
Viper Strike and 
Poison Attack. Poison Attack also serves as a great way to harass Shadow Fiend.
Disruptor
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 10%)Shadow Fiend
* 
Glimpse and 
Kinetic Field allows Disruptor to set up some early kills onto Shadow Fiend.
* 
Static Storm can be used to cancel the cast of Requiem of Souls.
Tusk
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 6%)Shadow Fiend
* Shadow Fiend is lack of mobility and low base health, make him a prime target for early ganks.
Terrorblade
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 8%)Shadow Fiend
* The Reflection of Shadow Fiend cause 
Presence of the Dark Lord to affect Shadow Fiend, reducing his armor and making it easier for Terrorblade to kill him. Shadow Fiend also doesn't have lots of survivability or control skills in order to escape.
* If Shadow Fiend chooses to go for a right-click build, he'll have a hard time against Terrorblade's high armor.
Tinker
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 5%)Shadow Fiend
* During the laning stage Laser will reduce Shadow Fiend's last hits, preventing him from getting 
Necromastery souls.
* Shadow Fiend has low health and is vulnerable to Tinker's high magic burst.
Additional:
* The blind from 
Laser prevents Shadow Fiend from attacking for its duration, potentially preventing him from getting a kill.
* 
Scythe of Vyse can be used to prevent Shadow Fiend from casting Requiem of Souls.
* A combination of Tinker's abilities and his items (like the 
Dagon 5 and 
Ethereal Blade combo) can kill Shadow Fiend quickly.
Monkey King
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 6%)Shadow Fiend
* Requiem of Souls is easily interrupted by Boundless Strike, due to its long cast time.
* Shadow Fiend's lack of mobility and escape makes him an easy target to ambush with Primal Spring, especially during laning stage.
* Being close means he cannot use all three razes on you before you get your Jingu Mastery stacks.
Shadow Demon
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 3%)Shadow Fiend
* Heroes with high physical damage output but lack of reliable escape mechanisms are always a good target for a solo gank: 
Sniper, Shadow Fiend, 
Troll Warlord, 
Drow Ranger. Those heroes, however, are dangerous if they manage to close the gap, so take caution.
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.
Bristleback
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 5%)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.
Clinkz
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 57% pickrate: 10%)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.
Riki
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 5%)Shadow Fiend
* Heroes that can gank Shadow Fiend in the early game: 
Earth Spirit, Nyx Assassin, 
Riki, 
Spirit Breaker.
Enigma
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 3%)Shadow Fiend
* Heroes with channeling spells because Shadow Fiend has nothing to cancel channeling: 
Bane, 
Enigma, 
Pudge, 
Shadow Shaman.
Visage
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 1%)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.
Storm Spirit
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 10%)Shadow Fiend
* Squishy heroes or heroes without hard disables or silences: 
Shadow Demon, Shadow Fiend,

Timbersaw
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)Oracle

* Heroes with high burst damage: Lina, Lion, Luna, Nyx Assassin, Queen of Pain.
Elder Titan
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 2%)Oracle

Queen of Pain
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 15%)Shadow Fiend
* Heroes with high burst damage: Lina, Lion, Luna, Nyx Assassin, Queen of Pain.

* Heroes with high burst damage: Lina, Lion, Luna, Nyx Assassin, Queen of Pain.
Lion
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 15%)Oracle
* Heroes with long disables, like Lion, Night Stalker, or Legion Commander, can prevent Oracle from using spells or items.
Shadow Fiend
* Heroes with high burst damage: Lina, Lion, Luna, Nyx Assassin, Queen of Pain.
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.
Pudge
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 24%)Shadow Fiend
* Heroes with channeling spells because Shadow Fiend has nothing to cancel channeling: Bane, Enigma, Pudge, Shadow Shaman.
Ursa
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 6%)Shadow Fiend
* Heroes without escape mechanism: Shadow Fiend, 
Alchemist
Additional:
*

Blink Dagger to get on top of him.
* 
Overpower and 
Fury Swipes allow Ursa to quickly kill Shadow Fiend.
* 
Enrage keeps Ursa alive in a manfight with Shadow Fiend and allows him to stay close, even if Shadow Fiend uses Requiem of Souls.
Phantom Lancer
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (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.

* Heroes that are hard to kill without lockdown: Puck, Weaver.
Bane
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 6%)Shadow Fiend
* 
Enfeeble can be used to decrease Shadow Fiend's already abysmal level one damage even further, preventing him from getting farm and Necromastery stacks.
* 
Brain Sap allows Bane to heavily harass Shadow Fiend.
* 
Nightmare allows Bane to set up some early ganks onto Shadow Fiend.
* 
Fiend's Grip enables Bane to completely take Shadow Fiend out of a fight and potentially even kill him, even through Black King Bar.
Oracle
* Heroes with dispels can dispel Bane's disables from their allies: Oracle, Legion Commander, 
Omniknight
Faceless Void
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (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.
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.
Bounty Hunter
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 5%)Shadow Fiend
* 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.
Oracle

Fortune's End and 
False Promise
* Heroes that can remove the Track debuff with their skills:

Juggernaut with 
Blade Fury
* Legion Commander with Press the Attack
* 
Lifestealer with 
Rage and 
Infest

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%)Shadow Fiend
* Doom has several disable abilities to choose from jungle creeps (e.g. 
War Stomp, 
Ensnare) to deal with Shadow Fiend who lacks escape abilities.
* When Doom combines creep abilities with 
Scorched Earth, 
Infernal Blade, and 
Doom, Shadow Fiend most likely will die as he cannot use Shadowraze and Requiem of Souls to protect himself, and also cannot even flee by using Shadow Blade or Blink Dagger.
* Although Shadow Fiend has a high physical damage output, Doom has a large health pool to survive it, meaning Doom's combo with high magical damage output will shutdown Shadow Fiend first.
* Doom usually buys 
Radiance to improve his damage, making his nuke combo more deadly to Shadow Fiend. The blind also prevents Shadow Fiend from landing his attacks often.
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.
Dragon Knight
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 2%)Shadow Fiend
* 
Dragon Tail can be used to cancel Requiem of Souls.
* 
Breathe Fire reduces Shadow Fiend's damage even further.
* 
Dragon Knight's high strength and 
Dragon Blood means that he'll be able to tank Shadow Fiend's right clicks.
Shadow Fiend
* Shadow Fiend's Presence of the Dark Lord reduces Dragon Knight's armor considerably, and his strong base attacks are augmented by his Necromastery.
Sniper
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 6%)Shadow Fiend
* Shrapnel can be used to cancel Shadow Fiend's Blink Dagger from a huge range.
* Take Aim and Headshot allow Sniper to harass Shadow Fiend in lane without getting into the range of his Shadowraze.
* Assassinate can be used to cancel Shadow Fiend's Requiem of Souls if he is not a target.
Additional:
* 
Shrapnel can be used to cancel Shadow Fiend's Blink Dagger from a huge range.
* 
Take Aim and 
Headshot allow Sniper to harass Shadow Fiend in lane without getting into the range of his Shadowrazes.
Oracle
* Fortune's End can catch out or impair position-based heroes with low mobility, such as Sniper or 
Razor.
Ember Spirit
[wiki] rating: -2.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 11%)Shadow Fiend
* Shadowraze can easily remove the protection from Flame Guard and kill Ember Spirit due to his low health.
* Ember Spirit is very vulnerable to physical damage from Necromastery.
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.
Rubick
[wiki] rating: -2.0 (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.
Shadow Fiend
* On his own, Rubick can't do much to Shadow Fiend. However, Shadow Fiend can easily run Rubick over with his right-clicks and multiple Shadowrazes.
* Presence of the Dark Lord lowers Rubick's already low armor even further.
* Shadowraze can be somewhat risky to use if stolen, as two of them require Rubick to get up close, which is something Rubick doesn't like doing.
Mars
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (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.
Shadow Fiend
* If Mars lanes middle, Shadow Fiend can keep the lane pushed against him.
* Shadow Fiend can go an entirely magical based build, which is very effective against Mars.
Skywrath Mage
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (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.
Shadow Fiend
* Heroes with a low health pool (Crystal Maiden, Skywrath Mage etc)
Crystal Maiden
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 13%)Shadow Fiend
* Heroes with a low health pool (Crystal Maiden, Skywrath Mage etc)
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.
Nature's Prophet
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 7%)Shadow Fiend
* Shadow Fiend can easily farm his treants and get easy Necromastery Stacks.
* If Shadow Fiend buys 
Boots of Travel and Shadow Blade, he can counteract Nature's Prophet's split-push.
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.
Slark
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 13%)Shadow Fiend
* 
Shadow Dance does not protect Slark from Shadow Fiend's AoE spells.
Meepo
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 1%)Shadow Fiend
* Shadow Fiend can easily focus down and kill one of the Meepos.
* The amount of damage from Shadow Fiend's AoE spells makes Meepo vulnerable in every aspect.
Witch Doctor
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (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.
Techies
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 7%)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.
Silencer
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (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.
Shadow Fiend
* Shadow Fiend is mostly played as right-click carry and natural Black King Bar carrier, making Silencer's spells very ineffective against him.
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.
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.
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.
Death Prophet
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 2%)Shadow Fiend
* 
Shadowraze (Near), 
Shadowraze (Medium), and 
Shadowraze (Far) can hit hard in the early stages of the game, and due to Shadow Fiend's high attack damage, most of Death Prophet's last hits will be denied in the laning phase. Additionally, Requiem of Souls can deal massive damage or kill Death Prophet at the start of team fights in combination with 
Eul's Scepter of Divinity or Shadow Blade.
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.
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.
Ogre Magi
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 16%)Oracle
* Fate's Edict gives full immunity from Ogre Magi's mostly magical damage.
* Fortune's End can dispel Ignite (when used on allies) and Bloodlust (when used on enemies).
* False Promise can dispel Ignite and Fireblast.
Dark Willow
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 6%)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.
Clockwerk
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 10%)Shadow Fiend
* Shadow Fiend usually buys a 
Hurricane Pike allowing him to easily escape from 
Power Cogs.
* Shadow Fiend can farm Clockwerk's Power Cogs to gain Necromastery stacks.
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.
Underlord
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 56% pickrate: 10%)Shadow Fiend
* Shadow Fiend can still dish out heavy damage with Requiem of Souls and Shadowraze while caught in Pit of Malice.

[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 8%)Shadow Fiend

Slardar
Chen

* Heroes with damage burst can often kill Chen or his allies before he can use Hand of God: Lina, 
Techies, Shadow Fiend, Pugna, Nyx Assassin.
Razor
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 1%)Oracle
* Fortune's End can catch out or impair position-based heroes with low mobility, such as Sniper or Razor.
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.
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.
Juggernaut
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 19%)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.
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.
Mirana
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 13%)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.
Phoenix
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 13%)Shadow Fiend
* Heroes who depend on attacks (such as Shadow Fiend or Drow Ranger) can be nullified by Fire Spirits' attack speed slow.
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
Legion Commander
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 14%)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.
Necrophos
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 7%)Shadow Fiend
* Heroes that have small health pools and little to no escape mechanisms are even easier prey for Necrophos. Ghost Shroud's slow will allow him to catch him with them, and get nuked down with his abilities, even preventing retaliation due to Reaper's Scythe's stun. Such heroes include Crystal Maiden, Witch Doctor, 
Warlock or Shadow Fiend.
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.
Broodmother
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 3%)Oracle
* Oracle cannot easily deal with swarms of units, making him weak against heroes like Phantom Lancer or 
Broodmother.
Shadow Fiend
* Spiderlings are a good source of souls for Necromastery and can be quickly killed with Shadowraze.
* Shadow Fiend is a natural Black King Bar carrier, protecting him from Incapacitating Bite.
* Requiem of Souls combined with Eul's Scepter of Divinity can potentially kill Broodmother before she gets a Black King Bar
Phantom Assassin
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 13%)Shadow Fiend
* Heroes who lack escape mechanisms or disables are all easy targets for Phantom Assassin if they are not careful. Look for Luna, Venomancer and Shadow Fiend and try to catch them off guard.
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.
Magnus
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 14%)Shadow Fiend
* Squishy core heroes (Shadow Fiend, Sniper, etc)
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.
Pugna
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Shadow Fiend
* 
Decrepify prevents Shadow Fiend from attacking for its duration, potentially preventing him from getting a kill.
* 
Nether Ward can do heavy damage to Shadow Fiend if he tries to cast his Requiem of Souls and spamming Shadowraze.
Additional:
* Decrepify prevents Shadow Fiend from attacking for its duration, potentially preventing him from getting a kill.
* Nether Ward can do heavy damage to Shadow Fiend if he tries to cast his Requiem of Souls and his Shadowraze.
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.
Slardar
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 9%)Shadow Fiend
* Shadow Fiend, a normal Shadow Blade builder often relies on its invisibility to escape fights. Corrosive Haze reveals Shadow Fiend and also weakens his already low armor.
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.
Shadow Fiend
*
Berserker's Call and 
Counter Helix allow Axe to kill Shadow Fiend if he stands too close to a creep wave.
Battle Hunger is very strong against Shadow Fiend in the early game because Shadow Fiend's low attack damage makes it hard for him to get last hits.
Axe's naturally high strength and health regeneration will be enough to tank a lot of Shadow Fiend's damage in the early game.
*
*
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.
