* Ursa can shred {U:Warlock Golem}s in a few seconds with
Fury Swipes and

Witch Doctor,
Warlock or
Shadow Fiend.

* Static Link greatly reduces Underlord damage, while benefits Razor himself, even when in Atrophy Aura's range.

* 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.
* To make things even better, Aghanim's Scepter upgraded
Eclipse can finish off Underlord or any of his teammates escape attempts with Dark Rift if timed correctly.

* Because Warlock's abilities are all active abilities, Silencer can make his impact minimal.

* Last Word can prevent Warlock from casting his combo.

Disruptor
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 8%)Underlord

* Warlock is a very strong hero when positioned correctly, and his long cast range helps him with this. However, some Heroes might disrupt or sneakily pass through your allies and deal with you, preventing you from doing your job. Such heroes include Chaos Knight,

[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 42% pickrate: 2%)Warlock

Drow Ranger
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 8%)Warlock
* While heroes with strong mobility able to get close/flee or long range disables do well against him, heroes with no escaping abilities/lacking long disables will perish against Warlock. Once the {U:Warlock Golem} lands with its stun, its hardly possible to escape when he casts Upheaval. Just watch your pet burn the enemies as they try running away or blow their strongest abilities to stop your {U:Warlock Golem}. Notable examples:
Huskar,
Drow Ranger,
Lion,
Elder Titan, etc.
Underlord
* Underlord can not only cancel Marksmanship's aura, but his Atrophy Aura also decreases Drow Ranger's attack damage.
Additional:
* Atrophy Aura reduces Drow Ranger's damage significantly, as she relies on agility.
Nature's Prophet
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 4%)Underlord
* Firestorm quickly kills all the treants and increases the
Atrophy Aura passive.
* Pit of Malice can stop Teleportation channeling.
* Atrophy Aura greatly reduces Nature's Prophet's damage and he has no other ways of dealing damage.

Dark Rift.
Mars
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 16%)Underlord
* Firestorm and
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.
* Dark Rift can save any allies of Underlord trapped in Arena Of Blood.
* 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.
Huskar
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 2%)Warlock
* {U:Warlock Golem}s do plenty of physical and pure damage to bring down Huskar when he is at low health. Warlock is always a hazard for Huskar to initiate by using Life Break because
Chaotic Offering can stun him instantly, even when
Black King Bar is activated, and allow Warlock's team to gather their wit and retaliate.
* After jumping in, Huskar will not have any means to escape Upheaval. Being an attack-dependent hero, this is bad for him.
Chen
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 1%)Underlord

* Pit of Malice will trap Chen and render him helpless.
* Atrophy Aura gives bonus damage to Underlord for each killed creep and weakens Chen's damage.

* Dark Rift allows Underlord to transport allies from poison damage-over-time to the fountain.
* Underlord usually buys Pipe of Insight that gives a magic resistance to allies, inhibiting the damage from Venomancer abilities.
Enigma
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 4%)Warlock
* Chaotic Offering's spell immunity piercing stun can stop Black Hole's channeling. Due to this ability's large area of effect, it can be cast at a safe distance from the Black Hole.
* Fatal Bonds can be used to make Enigma's Eidolons easier to kill, potentially feeding the enemy team.
* Warlock's Upheaval can interfere with Enigma's initiation and potential follow-ups thanks to its large AoE.
Additional:
* Chaotic Offering pierces spell immunity and is an area of effect ability, therefore it doesn't matter if Enigma buys
Black King Bar or
Linken's Sphere Warlock will always be able to cancel channeling of
Black Hole.

Fatal Bonds and
Upheaval on multiple enemies.

Enigma,
Shadow Shaman,

Lion
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 15%)Warlock
* While heroes with strong mobility able to get close/flee or long range disables do well against him, heroes with no escaping abilities/lacking long disables will perish against Warlock. Once the {U:Warlock Golem} lands with its stun, its hardly possible to escape when he casts Upheaval. Just watch your pet burn the enemies as they try running away or blow their strongest abilities to stop your {U:Warlock Golem}. Notable examples:
Huskar,
Drow Ranger,
Lion,
Elder Titan, etc.
Phantom Lancer
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 7%)Underlord

Alchemist,
Legion Commander.
Crystal Maiden
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 13%)Warlock

Shadow Fiend,
Enigma, etc.
Pangolier
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 7%)Underlord

Hoodwink
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 22%)Underlord
* Durable heros relied a lot on their main passive effects and items' effects such as Bristleback,

Grimstroke,
Witch Doctor
Underlord
* Firestorm will destroy Refraction charges very quickly.
* Firestorm will hit Templar Assassin while Melded.
* Templar Assassin has a hard time maneuvering around Pit of Malice.
Warlock
* Because Templar Assassin does not have escape potential in lane, any support hero with roaming potential and a Dust of Appearance can be great at shutting her down early game:
Earth Spirit,
Spirit Breaker,
Tusk,
Bounty Hunter,
Riki,
Warlock.
Additional:
* Warlock can cast Upheaval when Templar Assassin uses
Meld, preventing escape.
* Warlock can also send his {U:Warlock Golem} near where she used Meld, preventing escape by

* Blood Rite can silence Warlock, which as a spellcaster is bad for him.

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.
