Batrider
* 
Sticky Napalm, 
Flaming Lasso, and 
Flamebreak can all be instantly dispelled by Aphotic Shield.
* 
Firefly will continuously heal Abaddon under Borrowed Time.
Additional:
* 
Aphotic Shield and 
Borrowed Time can both dispel Flaming Lasso.
Snapfire
* Aphotic Shield prevents damage and dispels the slow from Snapfire's 
Mortimer Kisses.
* Borrowed Time allows Abaddon to gain HP during Snapfire's Mortimer Kisses.
Batrider
* 
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.
Batrider
* 
X Marks the Spot breaks Flaming Lasso when used on ally and can break if used on Batrider.
Batrider
* 
Nether Swap breaks Flaming Lasso when used on ally and can break if used on Batrider.
* Vengeful Spirit can disable Batrider's 
Blink Dagger before a fight with 
Wave of Terror.
Additional:
* 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.
Batrider
* Batrider has poor survivablilty, relying on his mobility from Firefly to survive. Stunning him with Ice Path of Liquid Frost can easily spell his doom.
* Batrider tends to cast Flaming Lasso on the squishest or the tankiest hero. Which Jakiro is not squishy, nor his generally the tank of the team, Due to this, Jakiro can usually save allies with Ice Path and Liquid Frost, while also potentially removing an entire hero from play for a short period of time.
* Even if Batrider does cast Flaming Lasso on Jakiro, Batrider will generally drag Jakiro into a great setup for Ice Path and Macropyre.
Batrider
* 
Plague Wards are very hard for Batrider to play against as they provide a lot of vision as well as disable Blink Dagger for a long duration.
Snapfire
* 
Global Silence stops Snapfire's Mortimer Kisses.
* 
Last Word can prevent Snapfire from casting additional spells.
Batrider
* 
Time Lapse with 
Aghanim's Scepter dispels Flaming Lasso when used on allied hero.
* 
Linken's Sphere is core item for a Weaver making him a hard target for Lasso during entire game.
Batrider
* 
Press the Attack dispels Flaming Lasso.
* Batrider is unlikely to win a 
Duel in any stage of the game.
Batrider
* 
Dark Pact can dispel Flaming Lasso if is used in anticipation, but a Blink initiation from fog can catch the Slark off guard.
* Slark can also take off any Sticky Napalm stacks with Dark Pact in lane.
Additional:
* Shadow Dance's passive can inform Slark when he's under enemy vision, meaning it'll be very hard to catch Slark off-guard with Flaming Lasso.
* Flaming Lasso is dispelled by Dark Pact. Its casting can be prevented with 
Shadow Dance or 
Depth Shroud (it requires 
Aghanim's Shard).
Batrider
* 
Enrage with Aghanim's Scepter can dispel Flaming Lasso.
Snapfire
* 
Mana Break reduces Snapfire's already low mana pool.
* 
Blink allows Anti-Mage to avoid being hit by 
Lil' Shredder and Mortimer Kisses.
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.
Snapfire
* 
Meat Hook can be used immediately after Mortimer Kisses since Snapfire is forced to stay in place.
Batrider
* 
Kraken Shell can dispel Flaming Lasso.
* If Batrider drags Tidehunter back towards his team, it can be setup for a well placed 
Ravage.
Additional:
* Kraken Shell is very useful against Sticky Napalm and Flamebreak, easily dispelling them regularly.
* Tidehunter is probably the worst hero to target with Flaming Lasso, as Kraken Shell will remove it and Tidehunter often survives long enough to cast Ravage in the middle of Batrider's team. At the same time, if Batrider initiates on his teammate, Tidehunter will have the perfect opportunity to counter-initiate.
Batrider
* 
Shadow Demon, 
Outworld Destroyer and 
Tusk can all save a Lasso'd teammate with their defensive spells.
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 
Meepo can run around, to, or away from Snapfire during Mortimer Kisses and dodge the projectiles easily due to their slow speed.
Batrider
* 
Death Prophet is a terrible Flaming Lasso target if 
Exorcism has already been used, since it can still damage Batrider and his teammates, but if Batrider manages to Lasso her before that, it can lead to Death Prophet being quickly burst down.
Snapfire
* Heroes with high movement speeds like Pugna and Meepo can run around, to, or away from Snapfire during Mortimer Kisses and dodge the projectiles easily due to their slow speed.
* 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 Meepo can run around, to, or away from Snapfire during Mortimer Kisses and dodge the projectiles easily due to their slow speed.
Snapfire
* Snapfire is vulnerable while she is casting Mortimer Kisses making her an easy target for the effects of Cold Feet and Ice Blast.
Additional:
* 
Ice Blast, 
Cold Feet, and 
Ice Vortex are easier to land on Snapfire while she channels her Mortimer Kisses.
Batrider
* For the same reason, he has to be slightly more cunning when playing against heroes that can scout the treeline, such as 
Ancient Apparition and his Ice Vortex and Shadow Demon and his 
Shadow Poison.
Batrider
* Many stacks of Sticky Napalm, combined with Flamebreak and Firefly, allows Batrider to destroy illusions from 
Mirror Image.
* If Batrider can manage to destroy all illusions from Naga Siren, he will be able to use Flaming Lasso on the real one, and will be able to drag her toward his team, potentially preventing Naga Siren from escaping with 
Song of the Siren.

Snapfire
* Mortimer Kisses can make quick work of Naga Siren's illusions.
* 
Scatterblast and 
Firesnap Cookie's AoE damage are also decent ways to deal with Naga's illusions.
Batrider
* Sticky Napalm slows Chen and his creeps and Flamebreak and Firefly can deal heavy damage to them.
* Flaming Lasso can pull Chen away from his creeps toward Batrider's team, often to certain death.
Additional:
* Sticky Napalm slows Chen and amplifies Batrider's damage.
* Flamebreak and Firefly can deal heavy damage to Chen and his creeps.
* Flaming Lasso pulls Chen away from his creeps, often to certain death.
Snapfire
* Mortimer Kisses will quickly destroy Chen's creeps and might waste 
Hand of God.
Batrider
* As long as Batrider is under the effect of Firefly, he can safely fly over 
Proximity Mines (He does not receive vision over the mines).
Batrider
* Sticky Napalm slows turn rate, making it difficult for Mars to face frontwards, where Spear of Mars and Bulwark are effective. In combination with Firefly, which deals magic damage, Batrider can make quick work of Mars.
* Flaming Lasso disables Mars while enemies re-position themselves behind Mars to avoid Bulwark.
Batrider
* Firefly destroys trees and can turn 
Tree Dance into a free four second stun.
Additional:
* Firefly allows Batrider to gain vision of Monkey King while he is on an tree, as well as destroying any nearby trees, denying Monkey King spots to jump to, or causing him to fall.
* Sticky Napalm's turn rate slow makes it significantly more difficult for Monkey King to jump from tree to tree and gain Jingu Mastery stacks. It also reveals Monkey King while he is on a tree.
* Flamebreak and Flaming Lasso enable Batrider to remove Monkey King out of Wukong's Command.
Batrider
* Batrider's DoT damage quickly removes Templar Assassin's 
Refraction and can damage her during 
Meld.
Additional:
* Batrider's abilities are designed to deal damage over time, burning through Templar Assassin's layers extremely quickly. Flamebreak applies 7 instances of damage, burning through the entirety of Refraction, and Firefly applies damage on the place, forcing her to either get out of Meld and be attacked or stay in place or be incinerated.
* Flaming Lasso pierces Black King Bar and rendering Templar Assassin helpless unless there are allies helping her.
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.
Snapfire
* Lil' Shredder will make quick work of 
Supernova.
* Mortimer Kisses can easily hit a Phoenix using 
Sun Ray.
Batrider
* Batrider's Flaming Lasso can be used to cancel Io's attempts to escape with 
Relocate and drag him away from his 
Tethered target. And since Io doesn't like buying Linken's Sphere, he will be always vulnerable to Batrider's initiations.
* Io's tendency to stick close to it's Tethered target can make Io and it's target vulnerable to Batrider's harrasing.
* Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Flaming Lasso allows Batrider to catch and drag two heroes at once, not just one. Which can potentially turn Io's Tether against him.

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.
Batrider
* Phantom Assassin does not deal with early aggression very easily (especially when magical damage). A competent Batrider can make life very difficult with Sticky Napalm followed by any other spell.
Batrider
* Batrider can harass Arc Warden more easily with Sticky Napalm thanks to it's low cooldown and mana cost and because of Arc Warden's lower durability and mobility.
* Batrider can use Flamebreak to push Arc Warden and 
Tempest Double out of the 
Magnetic Field.
* With Firefly combined with Blink Dagger, Batrider can move faster while dealing damage to both Arc Warden and Tempest Double.
* Flaming Lasso allows Batrider to separate Arc Warden from both Magnetic Field and Tempest Double and pull him towards Batrider's team. Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Flaming Lasso also allows Batrider to disable both, real Arc Warden and his Tempest Double and pull them towards Batrider's team. And since Arc Warden is not used to buy Linken's Sphere, this can be a great problem to him.
* Since Arc Warden is not used to buy 
Black King Bar very ofthen In most of the stages of the game, he will be vulnerable to Batrider's magical damage-over-time output in most of the stages of the game.
* However, Batrider needs to approach Arc Warden carefully as Arc Warden can scout Batrider's location with 
Spark Wraith. Also, Arc Warden tends to buy 
Gleipnir which combined with 
Flux's damage over time can be used to prevent Batrider from even using Blink Dagger.

Batrider
* Firefly can be used to clear Nature's Prophet's Treants and allows Batrider destroy Sprout's trees.
* Flaming Lasso prevents Nature's Prophet from escaping using Teleportation.
Batrider
* Firefly will cut trees with ease, cleaning-up an area that's been enchanted with 
Eyes In The Forest, and potentially revealing a Treant under the effects of 
Nature's Guise.

Batrider
* Heroes with abilities that can pull Lina out of position can easily bring her to their team mates, like Batrider with Flaming Lasso, Pudge with Meat Hook and Vengeful Spirit with Nether Swap.
Batrider
* Batrider's turn rate slow from Sticky Napalm makes it harder for Bristleback to keep his back towards the enemy.
Batrider

Axe, 
Beastmaster, Enigma, 
Magnus, Pudge, Batrider, Bane,

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
Batrider
* Shadow Demon, Outworld Destroyer and Tusk can all save a Lasso'd teammate with their defensive spells.
Batrider
* Sticky Napalm makes it difficult for Tusk to hold his own on lane.
* An ill-timed and ill-positioned 
Snowball will give Batrider a free counter-initiation with Flaming Lasso if Batrider is far enough to avoid the stun from the Snowball.
Additional:
* Sticky Napalm makes it difficult for Tusk to hold his own on lane.
* An ill-timed and ill-positioned Snowball will give Batrider a free counter-initiation with Flaming Lasso if Batrider is far enough to avoid the stun from the Snowball.

Batrider
* Nyx can walk into Firefly with
Spiked Carapace and stun Batrider if he has no Spell Immunity, even if Batrider is focusing on other enemy hero.
Snapfire
