Meepo
[wiki] rating: 1.2 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 1%)Snapfire

Meepo can run around, to, or away from Snapfire during

Hookshot) can easily avoid
Lil' Shredder and
Mortimer Kisses.
* Heroes with high movement speeds like Pugna and

Mortimer Kisses and dodge the projectiles easily due to their slow speed.
Undying

Nyx Assassin
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 13%)Snapfire
* Spiked Carapace stops Snapfire's
Mortimer Kisses.

Additional:
* With Greevil's Greed, Alchemist can farm Tombstone zombies and gain a significant gold advantage.

[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 19%)Snapfire
* Blade Fury makes Juggernaut immune against all of Snapfire's spells and allows him to get closer.
* A well-timed Omnislash allows Juggernaut to dodge Snapfire's spells, and she has no way to deal with it.

[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 3%)Snapfire
* Aphotic Shield prevents damage and dispels the slow from Snapfire's
Mortimer Kisses.

Mortimer Kisses.
Ancient Apparition
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 9%)Snapfire

Weaver
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 7%)Undying

* Zombies attacking Weaver disappear once he goes invisible with Shukuchi.
* Undying has no way to catch a mobile Weaver.
Luna
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 4%)Undying
* Luna has Moon Glaives and
Lunar Blessing to help her destroy Tombstone, and this becomes more effective if Luna is equipped with
Manta Style.
* Defending with Zombies from Tombstone against Luna is not a good idea because Eclipse will strike only Undying.
Necrophos
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 4%)Undying
* Necrophos is a dangerous opponent to go against with. Regardless of how many strength Undying has gained from Decay, Necrophos can finish off Undying with Reaper's Scythe once Undying's HP falls below a certain threshold.
* Heartstopper Aura will do more damage to Undying if he gained strength from Decay, as it does damage based on a hero's maximum health.
Earthshaker
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 10%)Undying
* Zombies summoned from Tombstone will amplify the damage of Echo Slam due to them increasing the echo damage.

Meepo,
Doom,
Bounty Hunter,
Dark Seer,
Undying,
Alchemist,
Legion Commander.
Visage
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 2%)Undying
* Familiars will easily be able to kite heroes with a short range or with low attack speed. For example, Tiny and
Undying have a very hard time killing Familiars.
Pugna
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 4%)Snapfire
* Heroes with high movement speeds like Pugna and
Meepo can run around, to, or away from Snapfire during

Lycan and
Undying.
Death Prophet
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)Undying
* High health heroes like Pudge and
Undying gain strength by using abilities. Focusing them with Spirit Siphon can let you heal more health and deal more damage to them.

* Invoker's multiple spells can lock down Undying and disable him from doing much.

[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)Undying
* Huskar's huge damage output and attack speed can get rid of Undying and Tombstone quickly.
Queen of Pain
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 9%)Snapfire
* Heroes with mobility spells (such as Queen of Pain's
Blink and
Clockwerk with
Hookshot) can easily avoid
Lil' Shredder and
Mortimer Kisses.
* Heroes with high movement speeds like Pugna and

* Meat Hook can be used immediately after
Mortimer Kisses since Snapfire is forced to stay in place.
Undying

Sven
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 42% pickrate: 1%)Undying
* Undying can use Decay not only to reduce Sven's maximum health, but also to reduce the damage he can deal with his ultimate.
* Zombies spawned by Tombstone together with Flesh Golem slow Sven down significantly. Landing Sven's powerful but somewhat slow right-click on Tombstone would be a waste.
Faceless Void
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 43% pickrate: 7%)Snapfire
* Mortimer Kisses can deal a large amount of damage to Void during
Chronosphere, either outright killing him or forcing him out before he can kill any allies caught in his ultimate.
Bristleback
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 8%)Undying
* Undying's Decay is a dangerous ability against Bristleback, as it makes him more vulnerable and reduces his tankiness.
* Undying's Tombstone together with Flesh Golem can slow Bristleback down significantly.
Nature's Prophet
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 5%)Undying
* Undying's Tombstone will cheerfully chew through treants, incidentally netting you some extra income during fights.
* The above interaction tends to ensure that skirmishes are heavily populated with units, thereby buffing Soul Rip
Spectre
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 6%)Undying
* Spectre must chase for kills and relies on movement speed for mobility in fights, and has no way to counter the Tombstone zombies.
* The potency of Soul Rip can be increased from nearby illusions from Haunt.
* Decay will shut down Spectre during the laning phase by effectively cutting down her initial health pool.
Additional:
* Spectre must chase for kills and relies on movement speed for mobility in fights, and has no way to counter the Tombstone zombies.
* The potency of Soul Rip can be increased from nearby illusions, so Undying can use Haunt against Spectre.
* Early game Decay will make Spectre easy to shut down in lane.
Mars
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 16%)Undying
* Decay,
Soul Rip and
Flesh Golem all deal magical damage which ignores Bulwark.

Chen
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 0%)Snapfire
* Mortimer Kisses will quickly destroy Chen's creeps and might waste
Hand of God.
Omniknight
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 2%)Snapfire
* Mortimer Kisses can reduce Omniknight's impact in teamfights. Omniknight's
Heavenly Grace cannot purge multiple stacks of
Mortimer Kisses. The damage is also magical, making Omniknight's ultimate,
Guardian Angel, useless.
Axe
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 10%)Undying
* Decay's stacking strength reduction makes Axe much less dominant in lane.
* Tombstone's zombies take no damage from Counter Helix, and will continuously put Axe's
Blink Dagger on cooldown until dealt with.
Centaur Warrunner
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 4%)Undying
* Decay can be good against Centaur Warrunner, as reducing the health of Centaur can make Double Edge risky.
* His zombies do not proc Return.

[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 8%)Undying
* Due to Spirit Breaker's low attack speed, Tombstone is problematic for Spirit Breaker.
* The zombies summoned from Tombstone apply a stacking movement speed slow, which can significantly reduce Greater Bash's damage.
* Soul Rip and
Decay allows Undying and his allies to survive from incoming ganks of Spirit Breaker.
Naga Siren
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)Snapfire
* Mortimer Kisses can make quick work of Naga Siren's illusions.
* Scatterblast and
Firesnap Cookie AoE damage are also decent ways to deal with Naga's illusions.
Winter Wyvern
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Undying
* Winter Wyvern cannot handle the Zombies created by Undying's Tombstone very well. In most situations, Zombies will have more movement speed than her.
* Undying can gain one or two easy Decay stacks on an ally in Cold Embrace. The ally will still take the damage as well.
Additional:

[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 10%)Snapfire
* Lil' Shredder will make quick work of
Supernova.
* Mortimer Kisses can easily hit a Phoenix using
Sun Ray.
Ogre Magi
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 16%)Undying
* Undying saps strength from heroes with Decay, and Ogre Magi's high strength gain will allow Undying to steal more and more strength, becoming stronger with each use.

Doom
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 3%)Undying
* Heroes with a slow attack rate will find themselves struggling to take out Tombstone, like Doom.
Enchantress
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 1%)Snapfire
* Heroes with nukes that can jump her: Clockwerk,
Snapfire,
Spirit Breaker
Witch Doctor
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 13%)Undying
* Generally, any fragile heroes will have a hard time dealing with Undying's tankiness, and even more so if Decay is used on them. Some examples are Crystal Maiden and
Witch Doctor.
Zeus
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 11%)Snapfire
* Heroes with summons that are destroyed by a fixed number of attacks: Undying's
Tombstone,
Gyrocopter's
Homing Missile, and
Zeus's
Nimbus.
Crystal Maiden
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 14%)Undying

Mortimer Kisses and dodge the projectiles easily due to their slow speed.
Snapfire
* Firesnap Cookie can be fed to Snapfire herself or to an ally caught inside
Power Cogs.
* A badly placed Power Cog makes it easier for Snapfire to aim Mortimer Kisses on Clockwerk
Phantom Lancer
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 7%)Undying
* Phantom Lancer's many illusions will easily destroy Tombstone, provided he has sufficient farm.
Snapfire

Chaos Knight
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 4%)Undying

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.
