Rubick
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 16%)Razor
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 6%)Underlord
* Static Link greatly reduces Underlord damage, while benefits Razor himself, even when in Atrophy Aura's range.
* Underlord is a slow and low mobility hero, and cannot outrun Razor's high movement speed, easily for Razor to absorb his damage with Static Link to the maximum and burst him down from the bonus damages, combine with the armor reduction from
Eye of the Storm
Nyx Assassin
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 7%)Vengeful Spirit

Impale and
Mana Burn.
* Spiked Carapace is easy to use against a Wave of Terror or Magic Missile.
Ursa
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 16%)Underlord
* Provided Ursa can stack Fury Swipes reliably, Atrophy Aura won't do much against it.

[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 13%)Underlord
* Arcane Orb 's pure damage can do great damage to Underlord.

* Lunar Blessing gives allies bonus damage and armor required to endure against Atrophy Aura early on.
* Eclipse can be devastating for Underlord's team when they're grouped up for Dark Rift, it can also be used to intercept arrivals with Dark Rift. And Pit of Malice does not prevent Luna to use it.

* Relocate can counter Dark Rift's split pushing.
Tidehunter
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 10%)Vengeful Spirit
* Vengeful Spirit should carefully consider whether to use her Nether Swap on Tidehunter, as it can easily position him for a Ravage on Vengeful Spirit and her allies.
* Due to Magic Missile's high damage, Kraken Shell will often proc and clear Tidehunter's debuffs.
Necrophos
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 3%)Underlord

* Winter's Curse and
Splinter Blast can devastate Underlord's team when they're grouped up for Dark Rift.
Anti-Mage
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 13%)Vengeful Spirit
* Past the mid game, an isolated Vengeful Spirit makes for an easy kill for Anti-Mage.
* Magic Missile is the only disable Vengeful Spirit has against Anti-Mage, but he can either Blink away to disjoint the stun or reflect it back against Vengeful Spirit with
Counterspell.
* Nether Swap isn't very effective against Anti-Mage - if used offensively, Anti-Mage can simply blink away to safety, and if used defensively, Blink's low cooldown allows him to persistently chase as well.
Storm Spirit
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 12%)Vengeful Spirit
* Ball Lightning disjoints an incoming Magic Missile, avoids
Wave Of Terror, and allows Storm Spirit to easily escape if he ever gets
Nether Swapped.
Viper

* Nethertoxin disables Vengeance Aura.
* Vengeful Spirit has no mobility spells aside from Nether Swap, which Viper can take advantage of with his slows.

Chaos Knight, etc.).
Skywrath Mage
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Vengeful Spirit
* Strong nuking supports like Skywrath Mage. Vengeful Spirit has subpar attack range, making it harder for her to harass and last hit safely. With enough pressure she can be bullied out of a lane.
Additional:

Phantom Lancer
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 10%)Vengeful Spirit
* Vengeful Spirit has no strong AoE nuke or disable against Phantom Lancer's Illusions.
* Phantom Lancer is a natural Diffusal Blade carrier, which reduces Vengeful Spirit's low mana pool very quickly, leaving her defenseless.
* Doppelganger can dodge Vengeful Spirit's abilites.
* Phantom Rush with his illusions can chase Vengeful Spirit efficiently.
Underlord
* Heroes that require burst damage to kill will be difficult for Phantom Lancer to take down: Timbersaw,

Tiny,
Wraith King,
Dragon Knight,
Meepo,

Legion Commander.
Vengeful Spirit

Pangolier
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 12%)Underlord
* Heroes with powerful rooting abilities will disable most of Pangolier's skill, a bonus point if it pierce spell immunity since it will also be able to stop Pangolier during his Rolling Thunder: Treant Protector,
Meepo,
Crystal Maiden,
Dark Willow,
Underlord,
Naga Siren
Vengeful Spirit
* Certain heroes can mess up with Pangolier's positioning and timing (especially if he intends to use Rolling Thunder during combat): Vengeful Spirit,

Faceless Void
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 41% pickrate: 3%)Vengeful Spirit

[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 1%)Underlord
* Firestorm's percentage damage can quickly demolish the Spirit Bear's high HP

Batrider
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 1%)Vengeful Spirit
* With her Nether Swap, Vengeful Spirit can save the life of an ally who gets caught with Flaming Lasso. Nether Swap also makes it highly dangerous for Batrider to attempt a lasso, as it can lead to his own demise far behind enemy lines.
* Wave of Terror's flying vision allows Vengeful Spirit to spot Batrider trying to close in on his target with Firefly.
Additional:
* Nether Swap breaks Flaming Lasso when used on ally and can break if used on Batrider.

Wave of Terror.

[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 12%)Vengeful Spirit

Mars
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 16%)Underlord

Pit of Malice are very disruptive in team fights, completely matching Mars especially since it can all be cast inside Arena Of Blood and also does percentage-based magical damage, negating Bulwark.

* Atrophy Aura allows Underlord to lane against Mars quite well since he does not have the best base damage during the early game.
* Underlord is a common carrier of both Pipe of Insight and
Mekansm/
Guardian Greaves, allowing his team to combat Mars in the mid to late game.
Venomancer
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 5%)Underlord

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.
