[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 7%)Windranger

Silencer,
Death Prophet,
Skywrath Mage,
Drow Ranger,
Earth Spirit,
Grimstroke.
Additional:
* Silencer's abilities hamper Windranger's effectiveness in battle, preventing her from comboing abilities and escaping using Windrun.
Dazzle
* A well-timed Global Silence prevents Dazzle from saving allies with Shallow Grave or Shadow Wave. Items that could dispel the silence are expensive, and difficult for Dazzle to farm from a support role.

* Windrun's miss chance is countered by Desolate.
Dazzle

Sniper) and supports (like
Dazzle and
Shadow Shaman).
Lina
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 10%)Dazzle
* Laguna Blade can kill Dazzle quickly before he casts Shallow Grave.
Windranger
* Since Windranger is bad against magical damage, heroes with continuous magical damage or magical nukes can blast her: Zeus,
Tinker,
Leshrac,
Viper,
Skywrath Mage,
Lion,
Lina,
Venomancer.
Lion
[wiki] rating: 1.2 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 16%)Windranger

* Some heroes with extreme range, like Zeus,
Invoker or

Nyx Assassin
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 14%)Windranger
* Many of Nyx Assassin's abilities are good against Windranger.
* Impale is great for stunning Windranger and allowing additional disables to be landed.
* Mana Burn is useful against Windranger's decent intelligence growth and also burns some mana, preventing her from using more abilities.
* Spiked Carapace is easy to use against Powershot.
* Vendetta allows Nyx Assassin to sneak up on and deal massive damage to Windranger without giving Windranger a chance to use Windrun to evade it.
* Nyx Assassin's item build allows him to easily deal with Windranger.
Outworld Destroyer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 17%)Dazzle
* Astral Imprisonment is a versatile nuisance:
* If it is cast on a low-enough-health unit at least 1 second into Shallow Grave's duration, the Shallow Grave will end during the imprisonment, and the target will take lethal damage when released.
* It can be used remove Dazzle from the fight at a time he could have saved someone.
* It lets himself or an ally dodge all of Poison Touch's effects, for long enough to recover their Blink Dagger.
Void Spirit
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 12%)Windranger
* Void Spirit deals entirely magical damage in the early game, ignoring her evasion from Windrun.
* A Void Spirit with fast reaction time can use Dissimilate or Astral Step to dodge Powershot.
Dark Willow
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 7%)Windranger
* Windrun does not protect Windranger from Cursed Crown's stun or Dark Willow's magical nukes.
* Focus Fire cannot target Dark Willow in Shadow Realm and will be interrupted if targeted earlier, wasting the ultimate.
Naga Siren
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 2%)Dazzle
* Mirror Image's illusions can easily walk straight at Dazzle and attack him, due to Dazzle's lack of reliable AoE nukes or disables.
* Ensnare roots Dazzle or his allies, making it harder to stay in range of Dazzle's saving abilities.
* Song of the Siren can be used to initiate a fight with superior positioning, potentially zoning Dazzle's high-impact spells out of the fight.
Tidehunter
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 9%)Windranger
* Kraken Shell easily dispels the lengthy stun from Shackleshot.
* Kraken Shell (and possibly Anchor Smash) blocks huge amount of damage from Focus Fire.
* Anchor Smash is one of the few sources of True Strike, which means Tidehunter can deal significant damage through Windrun, while also reducing Windranger's damage output.
Phantom Lancer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 9%)Dazzle
* Juxtapose and
Doppelganger conjures too many illusions for Dazzle to deal with, given he has no inherent movement- or AoE-abilities.
* Phantom Rush and
Spirit Lance allow Phantom Lancer to trivially catch Dazzle even in the back line of a fight.
* Phantom Lancer has high base armor which counters Dazzle's physcial damage based spells in lane.
Centaur Warrunner
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 4%)Windranger
* Stampede can help his teammates escape from Windrun and Focus Fire.
* Return will shred through Windranger's health if she chooses to attack him during Focus Fire.
Additional:
* Focus Fire grants Windranger a massive attack speed bonus, while her attack damage is generally quite low. This, combined with Windranger's low health pool and armor, makes Retaliate do absolutely massive damage over a short time, making Centaur a hero she can never expect to kill or harass.
* Windrun grants evasion, but Centaur Warrunner does not rely on successful attacks in order to do damage. Hoof Stomp, Double Edge, and Stampede all do large amounts of magical damage and can completely demolish Windranger in a moment.
Shadow Demon
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 2%)Windranger
* Shadow Demon can waste precious seconds of Windrun with Disruption.
* Alternatively, Demonic Purge can be used to dispel it altogether, leaving her completely defenseless for 7 seconds.
* Disruption can be used to save an ally if they get stunned by Shackleshot.
Morphling
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 13%)Windranger
* By using Morph, Morphling can use Windrun and Shackleshot to counter Windranger herself.
* Waveform can allow Morphling to easily chase down Windranger.
* Windranger's low health also makes her vulnerable Morphling's magical nukes, especially the Ethereal Blade and
Adaptive Strike combo.
Ember Spirit
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 9%)Windranger
* The high mobility provided by Fire Remnant makes it hard for Windranger to find a good position to land Shackleshot or a full duration of Focus Fire.
* Flame Guard deals considerable magical damage to Windranger.
Broodmother
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 56% pickrate: 2%)Dazzle

Visage,
Dazzle,
Rubick,
Lich.
Puck
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 18%)Windranger
* Windranger heavily relies on her abilities for any form of tactical advantage and damage. A well timed silence will make her useless: Puck,

Skywrath Mage,
Drow Ranger,
Earth Spirit,
Grimstroke.
Bloodseeker
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 4%)Dazzle

Blood Rite can fare well against Dazzle.

Invoker or
Clockwerk, can snipe your allies from anywhere after your Grave has expired.
Windranger
* Power Cogs prevent Windranger from fleeing with Windrun.
* Battery Assault repeatedly interrupts Focus Fire, disrupting Windranger's damage output.
Dazzle
* Shadow Wave will hit Clockwerk every time when he's fighting with an enemy inside Power Cogs.
* Due to Clockwerk's slow damage output, Dazzle will have more than enough time to Shallow Grave any enemy Clockwerk initiates on.
Additional:
* Shadow Wave will hit Clockwerk every time when he's fighting with an enemy inside Power Cogs.
* Due to Clockwerk's steady damage output, Dazzle has plenty of time to Shallow Grave anyone Clockwerk initiates on.
Skywrath Mage
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Windranger
* Since Windranger is bad against magical damage, heroes with continuous magical damage or magical nukes can blast her: Zeus,

Lion,
Lina,
Venomancer.

Alchemist,
Dragon Knight,

Ancient Apparition
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 9%)Dazzle
* Ice Blast negates healing from Shadow Wave, and lasts longer than Shallow Grave.
Additional:
* Shallow Grave prevents Ice Blast's shatter for up to 5 seconds, but can mostly only delay it as Ice Blast's debuff lasts 10 seconds and prevents
Shadow Wave from healing them.
Windranger
* Heroes with mobility/escape mechanisms to dodge Ancient Apparition abilites, or to easily jump on him: Riki,
Queen of Pain,
Phantom Assassin,
Windranger,
Bounty Hunter,
Spirit Breaker,

Sniper,
Monkey King,
Sven.
Pudge
[wiki] rating: -2.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 19%)Windranger
* Pudge relies on his hook to initiate his combo. As long as she's able to avoid the hook with Windrun and shackle him, Windranger can take him down easily. Pudge's low armor means that he won't be able to endure Focus Fire for long.
Dazzle
* Shallow Grave can be used to save an ally during Dismember and Rot.
* A combination of Bad Juju,
Poison Touch, and items like
Desolator or
Solar Crest can tear off Pudge's low armor, making him even more vulnerable to physical damage.
Terrorblade
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 4%)Dazzle
* Shallow Grave saves an ally whom Terrorblade has used Sunder on.
Windranger
* Heroes who rely on illusions can be tagged by Focus Fire: Chaos Knight,

[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 3%)Windranger

Additional:
* Windrun makes it impossible to hit Windranger with Burning Spears.
* Huskar cannot toggle Armlet of Mordiggian to regain health while taking constant damage from
Focus Fire.
Dazzle
* Heroes with abilities that reduce armor will make Huskar very vulnerable: Weaver,
Dazzle,
Bristleback,
Vengeful Spirit.
Juggernaut
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 18%)Windranger
* {Ability ID:Windrun|Windranger|16px} negates the damage from {Ability ID:Omnislash|Juggernaut|16px}.
* {Ability ID:Windrun|Windranger|16px} gives Windranger enough movement speed to get out of {Ability ID:Blade fury|Juggernaut|16px} range.
* {Ability ID:Focus fire|Windranger|16px} goes through {Ability ID:Blade Fury|juggernaut|16px}.
Dazzle
* Heroes with abilities that can save teammates are also effective such as Shadow Demon,
Dazzle,
Oracle,
Bane,
Pugna,
Tusk,
Winter Wyvern,
Io,
Underlord,
Treant Protector and
Keeper of the Light.
Enchantress
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 40% pickrate: 1%)Windranger

Legion Commander
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 12%)Dazzle
* Shallow Grave prevents Legion Commander from killing her opponents in Duels.
* Shadow Wave will heal an ally caught in a Duel, as well as dealing damage to Legion Commander.
Lifestealer
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 5%)Windranger
* Lifestealer relies on Open Wounds to slow enemies to burst them, but Windranger can use Windrun to escape through Open Wounds duration.
* Windrun and
Focus Fire can easily allow Windranger to kite Lifestealer and do good amounts of damage in the process.
Hoodwink
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 16%)Windranger
* Powershot can destroy the trees to prevent Scurry's passive as well as end
Bushwhack prematurely.
* Shackleshot stuns Hoodwink for a lengthy duration due to her often reliance on positioning with trees.
Additional:
* Powershot can destroy the trees to prevent Scurry's passive as well as end Bushwhack prematurely.
* Shackleshot stuns Hoodwink for a lengthy duration due to her often reliance on positioning with trees.

* Windrun can be used to dodge Earthshaker's abilities if Windranger has a quick reaction time.
* Focus Fire and Windrun allows Windranger to kite Earthshaker.
* A Windranger with fast fingers can prevent Earthshaker from using Fissure with Shackleshot.
Necrophos
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 3%)Dazzle
* Dazzle's Shadow Wave is a spammable healing ability that spreads around his entire team, slowing the death of his teammates as effectively as Necrophos spreads damage to them.
* If not immediately, Shallow Grave delays his ally from gradually dying to Necrophos' abilities, especially Reaper's Scythe.
Additional:
* Reaper's Scythe is very predictable and gives you plenty of time to react with Shallow Grave: just keep a close eye on allies below 50% health.
* However, be sure to use Shadow Wave on that ally immediately after, or they will die from Heartstopper Aura when the Shallow Grave ends!
Templar Assassin
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Windranger
* Windranger's Focus Fire tears apart Templar Assassin's refraction very quickly and easily bursts her down due to her low health pool against Windranger's immense attack speed

Ursa
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 16%)Windranger
* Windranger can avoid Ursa's primary source of damage, Fury Swipes, by simply using Windrun. The slow from
Earthshock is also rendered irrelevant by Windrun.
* Focus Fire and Windrun can be used to kite Ursa.
Additional:
* Ursa relies on the Blink-Earthshock combo to slow enemies to burst them, but Windranger can use Windrun to escape through Earthshock's duration.
* Windrun and
Focus Fire can easily allow Windranger to kite Ursa and do good amounts of damage in the process.
Mirana
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 16%)Windranger

* 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 Destroyer,
Shadow Demon,
Earth Spirit with
Aghanim's Scepter) or protecting him in other ways (
Dazzle,
Oracle,
Abaddon) can greatly limit Chronosphere's potential.
Witch Doctor
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 13%)Windranger
* Death Ward's first target (before it bounces) can evade it, therefore Windranger and
Phantom Assassin are poor choices to use it on.
* However, once the first hit landed, the bounces can no longer miss. Don't forget to manually aim for a target with no evasion !
Chen
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 0%)Dazzle
* Hand of God has a long cooldown, so damage over time spells can be hazardous for Chen, forcing him to use it prematurely: Jakiro,
Venomancer,
Viper,
Dazzle,
Phoenix.
Slark
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 13%)Dazzle
* Heroes that can deny Slark early kills will prevent him from snowballing: Dazzle,

[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 1%)Dazzle
* Heroes with armor reducing abilities greatly hinder Visage's defense like Slardar and
Dazzle.
Troll Warlord
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 9%)Windranger
* Other heroes that rely on physical attacks to deal damage and not their abilities: Troll Warlord,
Sniper,
Monkey King,
Sven.
Viper
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 5%)Windranger
* Since Windranger is bad against magical damage, heroes with continuous magical damage or magical nukes can blast her: Zeus,
Tinker,
Leshrac,
Viper,
Skywrath Mage,
Lion,
Lina,
Venomancer.
Windranger
* Windrun evades Poison Attack and counteracts the slow.
* Viper's low mobility makes him an easy Shackleshot target.

* Powershot is a strong harassment and zoning tool against Viper in lane.
Tinker
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 7%)Windranger
* Since Windranger is bad against magical damage, heroes with continuous magical damage or magical nukes can blast her: Zeus,

Tinker,
Leshrac,
Viper,
Skywrath Mage,
Lion,
Lina,
Venomancer.
Additional:
* Due to lack of magic resistance, Venomancer poisons eats through Windranger's health.
Dazzle

Phantom Assassin
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 15%)Dazzle
* Dazzle's lack of a true disable makes him a relatively vulnerable target for Phantom Assassin.
* Coup de Grace will often kill Dazzle's teammates before he has a chance to use Shallow Grave.
Windranger
* Phantom Assassin's Blur will be useless if Windranger managed to get
Monkey King Bar or
Bloodthorn, and other than Stifling Dagger, Phantom Assassin has no abilities that can bypass Windrun.
* Focus Fire can still deal considerable damage despite Blur's evasion due to the increased attack speed.
Doom
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 3%)Dazzle
* Supports with useful teamfight or contribution spells will be helpless against Doom: Dazzle,
Oracle,
Warlock.
Additional:

Io,
Oracle,
Omniknight,
Witch Doctor,
Winter Wyvern, (
Abaddon, etc.

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.

Dazzle
* Culling Blade ignores the protection from
Shallow Grave, and will kill any target whose health is low enough. This makes Axe one of the hardest counters to Dazzle, and he neutralizes one of Dazzle's most important abilities.
Culling Blade kills any target under the health threshold, even through Shallow Grave.

Windranger
* Windrun does not provide protection against
Counter Helix and
Berserker's Call. Her fast attack speed with Focus Fire will also quickly trigger
Counter Helix multiple times.
