Faceless Void
[wiki] rating: 1.4 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 8%)Broodmother
[wiki] rating: 1.2 (winrate: 56% pickrate: 2%)Witch Doctor
* Heroes with plenty of summons, such as 
Broodmother or 
Nature's Prophet can have their minions soak up most of your Paralyzing Cask.
Oracle
* Oracle cannot easily deal with swarms of units, making him weak against heroes like 
Phantom Lancer or Broodmother.
Visage
[wiki] rating: 1.2 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 3%)Witch Doctor
* Stone Form can easily interrupt heroes with long channeling spells, like 
Crystal Maiden, 
Bane, 
Witch Doctor, or 
Enigma.
Oracle
* Because Oracle uses few, powerful instances of damage to kill enemies, 
Templar Assassin's 
Refraction and 
Visage's 
Gravekeeper's Cloak can absorb his burst damage.
Riki
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 10%)Witch Doctor
* Without Dust of Appearance or Sentry Wards, Riki is able to silence Witch Doctor with 
Smoke Screen, and is likely to build a Diffusal Blade, leaving Witch Doctor without mana to cast Voodoo Restoration, as well as Skull Basher to interrupt Death Ward.
Tidehunter
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 7%)Witch Doctor
* 
Kraken Shell dispels the stun from Paralyzing Cask. However, it does not dispel the damage from Maledict.
* Once Witch Doctor first uses his Death Ward in team fights, Tidehunter can simply cancel it with 
Ravage, turning the tables against him, especially if Witch Doctor does not have a 
Black King Bar.
* As a precaution, let Tidehunter use Ravage first before channeling Death Ward to turn a team fight in your favor.
Dragon Knight
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)Witch Doctor
* 
Death Ward does little damage against Dragon Knight's armor, and Dragon Knight's high health regeneration minimizes damage from 
Maledict.
Luna
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 4%)Witch Doctor
* 
Lucent Beam interrupts Death Ward from a decent range.
* 
Eclipse kills Witch Doctor during Death Ward, even through 
Glimmer Cape.
Silencer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 8%)Oracle
* Oracle's reliance on spamming his spells can be easily hindered by Silencer's Arcane Curse.
* Last Word and Global Silence negates Oracle's attempt to save his allies with his spells.
* 
Fate's Edict is useless against Glaives of Wisdom's pure damage.
Witch Doctor
* Like any hero with a channeled spell, 
Last Word is a counter to it.
* 
Global Silence goes through spell immunity and prevents Witch Doctor from casting his spells.
Oracle
* Fortune's End can nullify 
Arcane Curse, Last Word, and Global Silence, if cast at the right time with the right targets.
* Fate's Edict can prevent Silencer from attacking, which he relies on with 
Glaives of Wisdom, for a lot of his damage.
Axe
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 10%)Oracle
* False Promise will not save an ally from 
Culling Blade if their health is low enough.
* Fate's Edict, offensively or defensively, does little to protect Oracle's allies from the majority of Axe's damage.
Morphling
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 12%)Witch Doctor
* Morphling can 
Attribute Shift to strength after being hit by Maledict. Since Maledict deals its damage based on the difference between HP on cast and HP after two seconds, odds are Morphling will have more HP than when Maledict was cast, thus resulting in no damage.
* On the upside, players prone to panicked reactions may Morph to agility, making Maledict even more efficient than intended.
* 
Adaptive Strike (Strength) can interrupt Death Ward at a decent range.
Vengeful Spirit
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 9%)Witch Doctor
* Vengeful Spirit has two abilities to interrupt Death Ward, even through Black King Bar.
Spectre
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 7%)Oracle
* Oracle's burst damage is ineffective against 
Dispersion.
* Disarm provided by Fate's Edict is not as significant debilitation for Spectre as it might be for other carries since She can do damage even without landing attacks.
Terrorblade
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 6%)Witch Doctor
* Witch Doctor's Maledict burst damage can be prevented by Sunder, if timed correctly.
* Death Ward deals physical damage, and Terrorblade's high armor can help him survive against Death Ward.
* However, be careful that 
Paralyzing Cask is commonly tricky to dodge as Terrorblade, due to his reliance of illusions, and Maledict can kill Terrorblade if he has no target to be Sundered with, especially in the early game.
Bristleback
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 7%)Oracle
* Fortune's End cannot dispel 
Warpath stacks on Bristleback or 
Quill Spray stacks on allies.
* 
Bristleback can heavily reduce Oracle's damage output. With it, Oracle may accidentally heal Bristleback with Purifying Flames, especially if Bristleback has bonus magic resistance.
Night Stalker
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 5%)Oracle
* Heroes with long disables, like 
Lion, 
Night Stalker, or 
Legion Commander, can prevent Oracle from using spells or items.
Clinkz
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 6%)Oracle
* Heroes who can take advantage of Oracle's low mobility or catch him out of position, such as 
Clinkz and 
Anti-Mage, can easily pick him off.
Puck
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 14%)Witch Doctor
* Low health spellcasters: 
Lina, Witch Doctor, 
Tinker, 
Keeper of the Light, all rely heavily on their spells and are fragile heroes. They all also have avoidable spells, allowing Puck to get to them and quickly burst them down.
Arc Warden
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Witch Doctor
* 
Arc Warden's 
Magnetic Field dodges all damage from Death Ward. Should he choose to buy a 
Necronomicon, they are quite effective to absorb some shots from your cask, and attack you during Death Ward.
Pangolier
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 7%)Witch Doctor
* Heroes who rely on channeling abilities can be interrupted in teamfights by Rolling Thunder: Crystal Maiden, 
Pugna, Witch Doctor
Timbersaw
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 7%)Oracle
* Heroes who are not easily crippled by Fate's Edict or Fortune's End, such as 
Timbersaw, or those who can dispel them, such as Phantom Lancer, can kill Oracle unhindered.
Undying
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 7%)Witch Doctor
* 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.
Templar Assassin
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)Oracle
* Because Oracle uses few, powerful instances of damage to kill enemies, Templar Assassin's Refraction and Visage's Gravekeeper's Cloak can absorb his burst damage.
Witch Doctor
* Fragile supports with low armor are always a good prey, also her Psionic Trap will wear down most attempts to flee with their built-in disables: 
Silencer, Crystal Maiden, 
Warlock, 
Ancient Apparition, 
Grimstroke, Witch Doctor
Witch Doctor
* Multiple attackers thanks to summoned units or clones: 
Meepo, Witch Doctor, 
Lycan, Enigma, 
Shadow Shaman
* Heroes that can quickly deal damage to her, regardless of how weak they are, can easily break through her Refraction:
* Multiple attackers thanks to summoned units or clones: Meepo, Witch Doctor, Lycan, Enigma, Shadow Shaman
* Multiple attackers thanks to illusions: Phantom Lancer, 
Chaos Knight, 
Naga Siren (bonus for her 
Ensnare). Also despite the visual effects, Templar Assassin does not spill damage against illusions or buildings, so she is not a really good hero to clean up illusions.
* Weak damage but high tick rate or persist in a long time: 
Slark, 
Gyrocopter, 
Queen of Pain, Shadow Shaman (
Shackles), Pugna
Elder Titan
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 1%)Oracle
* 
Elder Titan's 
Echo Stomp can turn into a 5 second stun on an ally under the effect of False Promise, as it delays all damage and makes it impossible to break the damage threshold of Echo Stomp.
Windranger
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 16%)Witch Doctor
* 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 !
Phantom Lancer
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 7%)Oracle
* Heroes who are not easily crippled by Fate's Edict or Fortune's End, such as Timbersaw, or those who can dispel them, such as Phantom Lancer, can kill Oracle unhindered.
Earthshaker
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 10%)Witch Doctor
* Heroes with channeled abilities can be interrupted by a long-range Fissure: Crystal Maiden, Witch Doctor, Bane, Pugna, 
Pudge.
Anti-Mage
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 14%)Oracle
* Anti-Mage can withstand magical burst damage much better than other carries, making him effective against nukers: 
Lich, 
Necrophos, 
Oracle, and 
Leshrac.
Additional:
* Oracle has minimal damage potential against Anti-Mage due to 
Counterspell, and may even have some ability damage reflected at himself.
* Anti-Mage can easily overwhelm Oracle with 
Mana Break and 
Mana Void.
* 
Blink allows Anti-Mage to easily chase and take advantage of Oracle's low mobility.
Grimstroke
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 8%)Witch Doctor
* Heroes with powerful channeling abilities are easily interrupted by Phantom's Embrace: Bane, Pudge, Witch Doctor, Crystal Maiden, Enigma.
Pudge
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 22%)Witch Doctor
* Heroes that have a channeled ability can be interrupted by Meat Hook: Shadow Shaman, Witch Doctor, Enigma, Bane.
Additional:
* 
Meat Hook interrupts Death Ward from a decent range, even through Black King Bar & Glimmer Cape.
* Pudge can survive the damage from Maledict because of his 
Flesh Heap stacks.
* However the damage-over-time from 
Rot is counteracted by Voodoo Restoration.
Nature's Prophet
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 4%)Witch Doctor
* Heroes with plenty of summons, such as Broodmother or Nature's Prophet can have their minions soak up most of your Paralyzing Cask.
Lina
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 14%)Witch Doctor
* Heroes who have channeled abilities can be stunned by Light Strike Array, like Witch Doctor with Death Ward and Bane's 
Fiend's Grip.
Additional:
* 
Light Strike Array cancels out Death Ward from a long distance.
Kunkka
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 4%)Witch Doctor
* Heroes with long channeling abilities like Witch Doctor are easy targets for Kunkka to interrupt in team fights.
Additional:
* 
Torrent can cancel Death Ward from a far distance.
Wraith King
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 21%)Witch Doctor
* Wraithfire Blast cancels Death Ward in decent range.
* Death Ward is meaningless while Reincarnation is off cooldown.
* Vampiric Aura can out-heal the {tooltip:DoT|Damage over Time} from Maledict.
Oracle
* Heroes with area dispel can kill multiple skeletons at once: 
Brewmaster, Oracle.
Mirana
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 16%)Witch Doctor
* Sacred Arrow can be used to interrupt Death Ward from a safe distance, forcing him to cancel it to dodge or get hit.
* Paralyzing Cask is a slow-moving stun, and Mirana can Leap away from her allies to keep it from bouncing.
* Witch Doctor has low health and can easily be killed with an 
Aghanim's Scepter combo or just when hit with an arrow.
Oracle
* Heroes that can protect or dispel stunned allies such as Legion Commander, 
Outworld Destroyer, 
Shadow Demon and Oracle can reduce the effectiveness of Sacred Arrow.
Venomancer
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Witch Doctor
* Voodoo Restoration heals to counter damage over time of 
Poison Nova and 
Poison Sting.
Oracle
* Fortune's End and False Promise easily dispel many crippling debuffs, such as 
Venomancer's 
Venomous Gale, or 
Skywrath Mage's 
Ancient Seal.
Additional:
* 
Fortune's End can dispel Venomous Gale and Poison Sting from allies.
* Fate's Edict grants 100% magic resistance to target, inhibiting the damage from Venomancer abilities.
Ember Spirit
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 9%)Oracle
* Oracle can shut down both of Ember's early game abilities. Fortune's End can dispel 
Flame Guard on Ember Spirit and 
Searing Chains on allies.
* When Ember Spirit is affected by Fortune's End, his 
Fire Remnants move at 0 movement speed.
* Disarming him with Fate's Edict does affect Ember's 
Sleight of Fist ability, possibly making him useless for a few seconds in the late game without a dispel or spell immunity. This is especially good if he has a rapier or two. However, positioning for this is difficult when Ember plays far back.
Batrider
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 4%)Oracle
* 
False Promise dispels Flaming Lasso.
* Fortune's End can root Batrider after he uses Flaming Lasso. It can also dispel Sticky Napalm and Flamebreak.
* Fate's Edict when used on a Lasso'd target will leave them immune to magical damage, making it difficult to burst them quickly before the Lasso ends.
Techies
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 6%)Oracle
* Since Techies' skills are all magical damage, casting Fate's Edict immediately upon hearing the warning sound from 
Proximity Mines and 
Blast Off! can render Oracle or an ally immune to the burst damage from these skills.
* If timed correctly, 
Remote Mines can also be countered using the same technique.
Additional:
* Fate's Edict gives 100% magic resistance, which prevents most of Techies' damage and his Fortune's End dispels Stasis Trap root.
Slardar
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 9%)Oracle
* Fortune's End applies a basic dispel which can be used to dispel Corrosive Haze, or even Slardar's own Guardian Sprint.
* False Promise is able to dispel Corrosive Haze and Slithereen Crush stun/slow from any allies Oracle chooses to cast it on.
* Fate's Edict can also be cast on Slardar to prevent him from proccing his Bash of the Deep.
Viper
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 7%)Witch Doctor
* Voodoo Restoration heals to counter damage over time of Viper abilities.
* Viper has no way to cancel Death Ward, even through 
Rod of Atos.
Jakiro
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 11%)Oracle
* Fate's Edict allowed Oracle to make allies spell immune, allowing him to save allies from Jakiro's spells.
* Fate's Edict can be cast onto Jakiro to disarm him and prevent him from pushing with his Liquid Fire.
* False Promise allows Oracle to free allies from Jakiro's Ice Path.
Troll Warlord
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 9%)Oracle
* Fate's Edict can disarm Troll, rendering him useless in a teamfight, especially if he has already used Battle Trance.
* Fortune's End and 
Purifying Flames can provide ample magic damage to help burst down Troll Warlord quickly in the early to mid game.
* False Promise can save an ally from Troll Warlord's initiation, forcing him to switch targets and lose his Fervor stacks, or waste time during Battle Trance.
Leshrac
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 4%)Oracle
* Oracle's Fate's Edict will protect an ally from Leshrac's nuking damage.
* Oracle's False Promise can dispel Leshrac's stun and slow from his abilities, allowing an ally to escape.
* Fortune's End can stop Leshrac from chasing opponents or running away.
Bloodseeker
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 2%)Witch Doctor
* Voodoo Restoration heals to counter Bloodseeker's 
Thirst.
* 
Rupture is generally useless against Witch Doctor while he is staying on Death Ward.
* Although Witch Doctor needs to be careful as 
Blood Rite can interrupt Death Ward.
Chaos Knight
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 4%)Witch Doctor
* Maledict cannot be dispelled by Phantasm, and can be used to tag the real Chaos Knight hiding within his illusions.
* If Witch Doctor has an Aghanim's Scepter, Death Ward will bounce between Chaos Knight's illusions, destroying them quickly.
* However, Death Ward is easily interrupted by Chaos Bolt until Witch Doctor buys Glimmer Cape or Black King Bar.
Pugna
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 4%)Oracle
* Most of Pugna's damage is magical, which can get blocked by Fate's Edict's 100% magic resistance.
* Oracle has two abilities that apply a dispel, which can easily remove Decrepify on his ally or Oracle.
* Oracle has a very long Attack Range and a very low Base Attack Time, which enables him to take down Nether Ward swiftly from long distance.
Dark Seer
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 3%)Oracle
* Fortune's End can dispel 
Ion Shell, which cripples Dark Seer economy since it's his most efficient tool for farming.
* Fortune's End can dispel 
Surge, effectively slowing his movement speed making him vulnerable to ganks or skirmishes.
Additional:
* Fortune's End dispels Ion Shell and Surge, making any gank attempt on Dark Seer in the laning phase likely to succeed.
* Fate's Edict prevents all magical damage that comes from Dark Seer's abilities.
* Fortune's End dispels Ion Shell on creeps, which Dark Seer relies on to farm and zone.
Dark Willow
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 6%)Oracle
* Fortune's End can easily dispel 
Cursed Crown before it times out and stuns. He can also save a stunned ally with False Promise.
* Fate's Edict can easily negate 
Bedlam's over-time damage, since the spell provides no form of control. Similarly, he can also negate the magic burst from 
Shadow Realm.
* Fortune's End can dispel the fear effect from 
Terrorize, and it can remove the root from 
Bramble Maze if you're quick enough. Be mindful that Fortune's End only dispels your allies' debuffs on the primary target.
Additional:
* Fortune's End not being disjointable is almost an ensured disable if Dark Willow tries to escape with Shadow Realm. Dispels Cursed Crown and Terrorize.
* Fate's Edict negates all her magic damage in case she catches a single hero.
* False Promise's strong dispel removes Dark Willow's disables.
Lone Druid
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 1%)Witch Doctor
* Paralyzing Cask is likely to bounce between him and his bear every single time.
* Lone Druid's lack of mobility makes him vulnerable to Death Ward and Maledict.
Ogre Magi
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 17%)Oracle
* Fate's Edict gives full immunity from Ogre Magi's mostly magical damage.
* Fortune's End can dispel Ignite (when used on allies) and Bloodlust (when used on enemies).
* False Promise can dispel Ignite and Fireblast.
Beastmaster
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 4%)Oracle
* False Promise effectively nullifies Primal Roar's single-target initiation on allies.
* Purifying Flames kills Beastmaster's Hawk instantly and Boar with two casts.
Lycan
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 57% pickrate: 6%)Witch Doctor
* Paralyzing cask bounces between him and his wolves, keeping him stunned for long amounts of time.
Sven
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 42% pickrate: 2%)Oracle
* Fate's Edict cripples many heroes who rely on attacks, such as Phantom Assassin, 
Sven, or 
Enchantress, without a dispel or a Black King Bar.
Keeper of the Light
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 5%)Oracle
* Heroes with dispels: Legion Commander, Oracle, Slark
Doom
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 3%)Oracle
* Supports with useful teamfight or contribution spells will be helpless against Doom: 
Dazzle, Oracle, Warlock.
Oracle
* Heroes with the ability to heal allies, or those with good defensive abilities: (
Chen, Dazzle, 
Io, Oracle, 
Omniknight, Witch Doctor, 
Winter Wyvern, (
Abaddon, etc.
Witch Doctor
* Heroes with the ability to heal allies, or those with good defensive abilities: (Chen, Dazzle, Io, Oracle, Omniknight, Witch Doctor, Winter Wyvern, (Abaddon, etc.
Enchantress
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 2%)Oracle
* Heroes with little health or magic resistance are easily picked off with Oracle's magic burst, such as Skywrath Mage, Crystal Maiden, or Enchantress.
Magnus
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 7%)Oracle
* Any hero who can counter-initiate in anticipation without getting caught in Reverse Polarity: Sven, Omniknight, Enigma, 
Luna, Naga Siren, 
Mars, 
Jakiro, Venomancer, Elder Titan, 
Faceless Void, 
Rubick, Keeper of the Light, Pugna, 
Invoker, 
Spectre,

Batrider, 
Kunkka, 
Tidehunter, 
Wraith King, 
Sand King.
Shadow Demon
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 3%)Oracle
* 
Disruption can protect Shadow Demon's allies from Fortune's End, preserving healing or buffs. It can also catch Oracle's allies, allowing 
Shadow Poison and 
Soul Catcher to be used without being dispelled.
* 
Demonic Purge prevents over-time healing during False Promise, such as Purifying Flames and 
Urn of Shadows. If he has Aghanim's Scepter, this issue can persist for longer or on multiple allies.
* It will not, however, prevent healing from instant abilities, items, or auras, making 
Mekansm a good choice against him.
Oracle
* Heroes who can dispel will be able to remove Shadow Poison before Shadow Demon can build up a big stack, or remove Soul Catcher's debuff to instantly bring the health of affected heroes back to a considerable amount: Abaddon, Slark, Legion Commander, Oracle.
Witch Doctor
* Death Ward with Aghanim's Scepter makes quick work of the spawned illusions from Disruption.
* However, it can be cancelled by Disruption until Witch Doctor buys 
Linken's Sphere or Black King Bar.
* All of Witch Doctor's abilities are active, making Demonic Purge break from Aghanim's Scepter useless.
* 
Voodoo Restoration can out-heal the damage from Shadow Demon's abilities.
* An attempt to save an ally using Disruption can easily become a perfect setup for a Maledict or Paralyzing Cask for the enemy.
Mars
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 16%)Oracle
* Heroes with high magical or pure damage will bypass Bulwark: Timbersaw, 
Dark Willow, Enigma, Invoker, Pugna, Skywrath Mage, Tinker, Zeus, Oracle.
Skywrath Mage
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Oracle
* Heroes with little health or magic resistance are easily picked off with Oracle's magic burst, such as Skywrath Mage, Crystal Maiden, or Enchantress.
Crystal Maiden
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 13%)Oracle
* Heroes with little health or magic resistance are easily picked off with Oracle's magic burst, such as Skywrath Mage, Crystal Maiden, or Enchantress.
Void Spirit
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 10%)Oracle
* Heroes that can purge his slow and disables are very difficult to go on and their team: Abaddon, Oracle.
Juggernaut
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 20%)Oracle
* Heroes with abilities that can save are also effective such as Shadow Demon, Dazzle, Oracle, Bane, Pugna, 
Tusk, Winter Wyvern, Io, 
Underlord, Treant Protector and Keeper of the Light.
Razor
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 2%)Oracle
* Fortune's End can catch out or impair position-based heroes with low mobility, such as 
Sniper or Razor.
Legion Commander
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 13%)Oracle
* Heroes with long disables, like Lion, Night Stalker, or Legion Commander, can prevent Oracle from using spells or items.
Oracle
* Fate's Edict prevents Legion Commander from attacking for a few seconds, potentially saving Oracle's ally.
* Fortune's End dispels Press the Attack's healing and attack speed buff, as well as the movement speed bonus from Overwhelming Odds.
* False Promise protects allies and prevents Legion Commander from winning Duels and gaining bonus damage.
Additional:
* Provided that the enemy team does not have an 
Axe, Oracle can guarantee that his ally survives for the duration of the Duel with False Promise and has decent nuke potential to help ally to win a Duel. He can also disarm Legion Commander with Fate's Edict.
* Oracle can dispel enemy buffs like 
Overwhelming Odds and 
Press the Attack with Fortune's End.
Necrophos
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 4%)Witch Doctor
* Heroes that have small health pools and little to no escape mechanisms are even easier prey for Necrophos. Ghost Shroud's slow will allow him to catch him with them, and get nuked down with his abilities, even preventing retaliation due to Reaper's Scythe's stun. Such heroes include Crystal Maiden, Witch Doctor, Warlock or 
Shadow Fiend.
Oracle
* Fortune's End can dispel 
Ghost Shroud, rending Necrophos vulnerable to physical damage. Also it's worth noting that Necrophos takes additional magic damage when in Ethereal state, which makes Purifying Flames a powerful nuke against him.
* Fate's Edict fully negates the damage from 
Reaper's Scythe, which its own delayed animation makes it relatively easy to predict and nullify.
Additional:
* During the laning stage, Oracle's Purifying Flames nullifies any damage that Heartstopper Aura might inflict.
* Fate's Edict and False Promise can protect an ally from Reaper's Scythe.
* Oracle can dispel Ghost Shroud with Fortune's End.
Phoenix
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 10%)Witch Doctor
* Heroes with slow movement speeds and small health pools (supports like Crystal Maiden or Witch Doctor) are easy targets for Phoenix. Should they be inflicted by its DOT debuffs, they will be very quickly killed without even getting a chance to fight back.
Oracle
* Phoenix does significant magic damage over time which can either be dispelled or negated by Fate's Edict.
* Since Phoenix sacrifices some of his health to cast abilities it makes him very vulnerable to Oracle's burst potential
Ancient Apparition
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 8%)Witch Doctor
* Heroes like Slark, Witch Doctor and others also tend to suffer in Ice Blast's heal denial.
Oracle
* False Promise can prevent the shatter from 
Ice Blast and Fate's Edict can protect an ally from the magical damage over time for a while.
* Oracle can deny allies who are frostbitten. If he uses Purifying Flames to reach the shatter threshold, it will count as a deny.
* Fortune's End can dispel 
Cold Feet on affected allies, preventing them from getting frozen.
Additional:
* False Promise can dispel the stun from Cold Feet and can save an ally that's about to shatter from Ice Blast, even allowing healing with Purifying Flames because of the delayed effect.
* Purifying Flames also allows Oracle to deny his allies if they're affected by Ice Blast. If he brings his allies' health to or below the shatter threshold, it will count as him denying the ally.
* Fate's Edict is good against all of Ancient Apparition's abilities at all stages of the game.
* Fortune's End can dispel Cold Feet from allies.
Phantom Assassin
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 17%)Witch Doctor
* 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 !
Oracle
* Fate's Edict cripples many heroes who rely on attacks, such as Phantom Assassin, Sven, or Enchantress, without a dispel or a Black King Bar.
Rubick
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 17%)Witch Doctor
* Every ability Witch Doctor has is useful when Rubick manages to steal any of them:
* Paralyzing Cask provides an additional disable apart from Telekinesis and also helps Rubick to farm.
* Voodoo Restoration provides utility by healing Rubick and his team, since he has no heal of his own.
* Maledict is a solid damage-over-time nuke, which can be devastating to the enemy team.
* And most importantly, Death Ward is one of the best teamfight spells in the game. It also requires channeling, which makes it easy for Rubick to steal. And when combined with Aghanim's Scepter, this can prove deadly to the enemy team.
* However, a skilled Witch Doctor will always toggle Voodoo Restoration while channeling Death Ward to prevent that.
Additional:
* Rubick can steal Death Ward easily as it is a channeled ability and then use it to turn teamfight to his advantage.
* However, a skilled Witch Doctor will toggle Voodoo Restoration immediately after placing his Death Ward to prevent that.
Oracle
* Oracle's high magic damage output can easily take down Rubick's low health pool.
* Because Oracle likes to combine his spells together, the only good 
Spell Steal target he gives is False Promise. This scenario can be avoided by shift queueing Fortune's End and casting it immediately, as it has no cast point, or by staying in the back line of fights if out of mana.
* As a position based hero, Rubick will have a very hard time against Fortune's End due to its absurd range and very long root duration.
Sniper
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 5%)Witch Doctor
* Heroes with channeled abilities which Assassinate may cancel at long range: Witch Doctor, Crystal Maiden, Shadow Shaman, Pugna
Oracle
* Fortune's End can catch out or impair position-based heroes with low mobility, such as Sniper or Razor.
Lion
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 15%)Oracle
* Heroes with long disables, like Lion, Night Stalker, or Legion Commander, can prevent Oracle from using spells or items.
Oracle
* Lion is extremely dependent on his abilities. Silences like Silencer's Last Word, magic resistance like Oracle's Fate's Edict, and dispels like Legion Commander's Press the Attack all make his abilities less effective.
Omniknight
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 3%)Witch Doctor
* 
Guardian Angel protects allies from Death Ward's physical damage.
* 
Purification and 
Heavenly Grace will most likely save teammates from dying to Maledict.
Oracle
* Fortune's End's AoE dispel will remove Guardian Angel.
Additional:
* With Fortune's End, Oracle can dispel Guardian Angel in an area of effect.
Bane
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Witch Doctor
* Heroes that wish to disrupt fights with spell combos or big ultimates are vulnerable to the long stun of Fiend's Grip: 
Disruptor, 
Death Prophet, Enigma, Faceless Void, Invoker, Lich, 
Magnus, Mars, 
Medusa, Outworld Destroyer, Phoenix, 
Puck, Queen of Pain, Shadow Fiend, Treant Protector, Underlord, Winter Wyvern, Witch Doctor, Zeus.
Oracle
* Heroes with dispels can dispel Bane's disables from their allies: Oracle, Legion Commander, Omniknight
Bounty Hunter
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 8%)Witch Doctor
* Low mobility heroes: Heroes with no/little means of traveling fast have difficulty getting to/away from Bounty Hunter due to his slowing Jinada and hastening Track. Few examples of such heroes are: Crystal Maiden, Sniper, 
Ursa, Witch Doctor, etc.
Oracle
* Oracle with Fortune's End and False Promise
* Heroes that can remove the Track debuff with their skills:
* Abaddon with 
Aphotic Shield and 
Borrowed Time
* Huskar with 
Life Break
* 
Juggernaut with 
Blade Fury
* Legion Commander with Press the Attack
* 
Lifestealer with 
Rage and 
Infest
* Naga Siren with 
Mirror Image
* Omniknight with Heavenly Grace
* Oracle with Fortune's End and False Promise
* Phantom Lancer with 
Doppelganger
* Slark with 
Dark Pact
* Ursa with 
Enrage
* 
Weaver with 
Time Lapse
* Tidehunter with Kraken Shell when damage received reaches the threshold.
Monkey King
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 18%)Witch Doctor
* Paralyzing Cask's short stun rarely prevents Monkey King from ambushing Witch Doctor.
* Death Ward's long channel is easily interrupted by Boundless Strike.
Witch Doctor
* Another hero that should not leave a special circle for his ultimate. The only thing to be afraid is 
Boundless Strike.
Witch Doctor
* Beware of placing the Death Ward if
Chronosphere is off cooldown, as it will cancel the effect and leave Witch Doctor vulnerable if he does not react in time.
Oracle
*
Time Walk and 
Backtrack allow Faceless Void to easily negate Oracle's burst damage.
Time Dilation is effective against Oracle's low-cooldown spells. Although dispellable with Fortune's End, it can still catch Oracle off guard if Fortune's End is on cooldown.
*
Oracle
* 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.
