Riki
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 10%)Bounty Hunter
[wiki] rating: 1.2 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 8%)Io
* Fragile heroes: Bounty Hunter has decent nuking capabilities with Shiruken Toss and Jinada thus making fragile heroes easy picks for ganking. Few examples of such heroes are:Crystal Maiden,
Pugna,
Skywrath Mage,
Io,
Witch Doctor, etc.
Shadow Shaman
* Nyx Assassin,
Bounty Hunter and
Slark can all sneak up and kill you, Nyx being particularly deadly. Watch Slark carefully, as he can break either (but not both unless you are making a mistake) of your disables, with
Dark Pact and leap out of a serpent ward ring. These heroes, however, rely heavily on escape and are themselves not very durable and none of them can survive a full lockdown with Mass Serpent Ward. Having Sentry Wards can turn you from prey to predator.

Death Prophet,
Phantom Lancer
Shadow Shaman
* 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.
Wraith King
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 21%)Shadow Shaman
* Reincarnation allows Wraith King to survive Shadow Shaman's initial chain of disables and Serpent Ward attacks.

Ogre Magi
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 17%)Io

Clinkz

Winter Wyvern
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Io

* Mirana can disturb your channeling even if you are under the effect of invisibility thanks to Sacred Arrow.

Bloodseeker
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 2%)Io
* Thirst allows Bloodseeker to see where Io relocated to, should either Io or the tethered hero have low health.
* Rupture forces Io to stay in place, preventing it from using the Tether bonus movement speed to escape.
Leshrac
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 4%)Io
* Lightning Storm will usually hit both Io and its tethered target since both will be close enough for the lightning to jump.
* Diabolic Edict and
Pulse Nova hit all units near Leshrac, meaning he can do colossal damage to Io and its tethered target.
Additional:

Chen

* Chen can use {U:Centaur Conqueror} or {U:Mud Golem} to interrupt Shadow shaman's Shackles channeling
* Mass Serpent Ward can be easily teared down by Chen's creep army

[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)Shadow Shaman
* Dragon Knight can simply tank and destroy all Shadow Shaman's Serpent Wards.
Disruptor
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 8%)Io
* Glimpse directly negates Relocate.

Lich
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 12%)Io

Grimstroke
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 8%)Io
* 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.
Phantom Assassin
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 17%)Io
* Phantom Strike allows Phantom Assassin jump directly to Io.
* Coup de Grace makes short work of Io's low health and armor.
Bristleback

Lycan
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 57% pickrate: 6%)Io
* Heroes with low armor and little mobility, like Huskar,
Io, etc. will also have an unfortunate fate.
Broodmother
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 56% pickrate: 2%)Shadow Shaman
* Support heroes with low mobility can be slowed further by Incapacitating Bite, and swarmed by Spiderlings for an easy kill: Shadow Shaman,

[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 11%)Shadow Shaman
* Nyx Assassin,
Bounty Hunter and
Slark can all sneak up and kill you, Nyx being particularly deadly. Watch Slark carefully, as he can break either (but not both unless you are making a mistake) of your disables, with
Dark Pact and leap out of a serpent ward ring. These heroes, however, rely heavily on escape and are themselves not very durable and none of them can survive a full lockdown with Mass Serpent Ward. Having Sentry Wards can turn you from prey to predator.
Abaddon
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 3%)Shadow Shaman
* Omniknight can dispel Hex or Shackles with
Heavenly Grace. He can also heal teammates which you disabled. The same goes to
Abaddon's
Aphotic Shield .
Lone Druid
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 1%)Shadow Shaman

Crystal Maiden,

Skywrath Mage etc.
Arc Warden
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Shadow Shaman

[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 8%)Shadow Shaman
* Heroes that are squishy by nature are an easy target for Spirit Breaker: Sniper,
Drow Ranger,
Shadow Shaman
Io
* Charge of Darkness can be used to escape or counter-initiate against a Relocate gank.

* Can easily interrupt and disable Spirit Breaker with hex if being charged.
Omniknight
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 3%)Shadow Shaman
* Omniknight can dispel Hex or Shackles with

Dark Pact and leap out of a serpent ward ring. These heroes, however, rely heavily on escape and are themselves not very durable and none of them can survive a full lockdown with Mass Serpent Ward. Having Sentry Wards can turn you from prey to predator.
Tiny
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 7%)Io
* Squishy heroes, usually supports, like Io,

Terrorblade

* All of Shadow Shaman's abilities totally ruin Terrorblade: Ether Shock destroys his illusions, Hex prevents him from using Sunder or
Manta Style in bad situations, Shackles not only that prevent him from using
Sunder, but he has no way to cancel it and Mass Serpent Ward can help Shadow Shaman push faster than Terrorblade even in
Metamorphosis.

Templar Assassin
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)Shadow Shaman
* Shackles and Mass Serpent Ward instantly destroy Refraction
Weaver
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Shadow Shaman

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.

Io
* Heroes that can easily bypass Io's allies to get to Io:
Riki,
Tusk,
Clinkz,
Sniper
Shadow Shaman
* Riki is known for being a successful support killer, and not just for show. He can give you one hell of a time by constantly picking you off and/or forcing you to stick close to the rest of the team.
Smoke Screen is particularly devastating to Shadow Shaman. With neither his various disables nor a solid health pool Shadow Shaman is usually dead. Consider a force staff if you find yourself in this scenario (to force yourself out of the cloud before shackling Riki) and buy sentry wards if you have the money.
*
