* Corrosive Haze from Slardar is very effective from low armor Windranger's although build 
Aghanim's Scepter, invisibility from Windrun is useless detected true sight against Corrosive Haze and can easily catch Slardar's kill her.
Bloodseeker
* Bloodseeker's Rupture forces Slardar to stay still during fights, preventing Slardar from using Guardian sprint to move in and out of fights. This takes away the ability to initiate and re-initiate with Slithereen Crush's low cooldown. Due to the increased move speed from Guardian Sprint, Slardar can lose health at about 160% the rate of normal heroes while under Rupture. Bloodseeker's Thirst also gives him enough move speed so that he's one of the few heroes who can outrun or catch up to a Slardar during Guardian Sprint.
Bloodseeker
* 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.

Bounty Hunter, 
Templar Assassin, Riki,

Weaver, 
Treant Protector, 
Nyx Assassin.

* 
Life Break triggers Rupture's damage.
Additional:
* Huskar is often at low health, providing large Thirst bonuses to Bloodseeker.
* Life Break can trigger Rupture's damage.
* A self applied Bloodrage together with Blademail means it's almost suicidal for Huskar to jump on Bloodseeker with Life Break
Windranger
* Windranger prevents Huskar from landing 
Burning Spears by using Windrun.
* Because Huskar tends to be at low health, Focus Fire and Powershot are good abilities against him.

Armlet of Mordiggian to regain health while taking constant damage from Focus Fire.

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.

Windranger
* Other heroes that rely on physical attacks to deal damage and not their abilities: Troll Warlord, Sniper, Monkey King, Sven.

Terrorblade, Phantom Lancer, 
Naga Siren.

Untouchable.
Bloodseeker
* Rupture and Blood Rite locks down Timbersaw, preventing him from escaping with 
Timber Chain. However, Timbersaw may reflect a good deal of damage with Blade Mail.

Black King Bar prematurely, before pulling off a Black Hole combo.
* Bloodseeker can find an Enigma out of position and Rupture him, making it difficult to initiate properly in a team fight, as it pierces through Black King Bar.
Bloodseeker
* Rupture deals extra damage to Magnus during Skewer or 
Force Staff, preventing him from escaping or counter-initiating, forcing him to invest on a Linken's Sphere.
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.
Bloodseeker
* Blood Rite makes Ezalor chose between getting off Illuminate or getting silenced for a while, as Illuminate is a channeled ability.
* Blood Rite's silence can completely take Ezalor out of a teamfight, as he relies on his abilities to be useful.
* Keeper of the Light's only mobility source, his high movement speed (via his high base movement speed and through spirit form), is entirely countered by Rupture.
Windranger
* Powershot can destroy the trees to prevent 
Scurry's passive as well as end 
Bushwhack prematurely or prevent it completely.

* Shackleshot stuns Hoodwink for a lengthy duration due to her often reliance on positioning with trees.
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.
Windranger

Bloodseeker
* 
Shukuchi will trigger extra damage from Rupture.
* Shukuchi's invisibility is detected by Thirst.
* 
Time Lapse cannot dispel Rupture, preventing Weaver from escaping ganks. However, smart Weaver will buy Linken's Sphere to counter this problem for him.
Additional:
* Rupture is particularly crippling against Weaver, who relies on high movement speed from Shukuchi to fight and escape, and it cannot be dispelled by Time Lapse.
* Thirst detects Weaver through Shukuchi whenever his health is low.
* Blood Rite combined with Rupture forces Weaver to either take damage from the latter, or to get silenced for a long duration.
Bloodseeker
* Primal Beast's abilities require movement to deal damage, making Rupture potentially deadly and debilitating. Furthermore, its initial damage based on the target's current health is devastating to a full-health Primal Beast with his high strength gain and thus high HP.
* Due to his reliance on spells, Primal Beast is vulnerable to Blood Rite's powerful silence without items to counter it.
Bloodseeker
* Phoenix expends health to use its abilities, making it a good target for Thirst.
* Rupture deals heavy damage against 
Icarus Dive.
Additional:
* Although Blood Rite can be easily avoided, if it does hit, its lengthy silence and pure damage can be a severe punishment for a slow, unobservant, or simply unfortunate Phoenix.
* His Rupture can turn Icarus Dive into a suicide option, and it cannot be dispelled, meaning even if Phoenix completes a 
Supernova, choosing to Dive may just cut its health back down.
* And finally, due to Phoenix's health costs, too much careless ability spamming may just put Phoenix into Bloodseeker's vision through Thirst, making it a very tempting ganking target.
Bloodseeker
* Rupture ruins her only movement ability, Rebound. Combined with its high movement speed and her being unable to interrupt it once its cast, using it under the effects of Rupture will surely deal incredibly immutable damage, if not kill her.
* As a Strength hero, Marci naturally has high HP. Rupture's initial damage uses her high HP as a catalyst to deal damage depending on her current health, dealing a good amount of damage if she's full HP or forcing her to stop if she's low.
* With 
Aghanim's Shard, Bloodrage will now deal pure damage and lifesteal based on the opponent's max health. Her high HP as a Strength hero ensures that Bloodseeker will always deal significant attack damage and sustain himself a lot whenever he attacks Marci.
* If Marci doesn't build Black King Bar, Bloodseeker's Blood Rite will prevent her from using all of her spells which she relies quite heavily on. Her only dispel is tied to Sidekick with level 25 left talent.

* Even Lich builds 
Glimmer Cape or Force Staff are suicidal item against Bloodseeker when he is affected by Rupture.
Windranger
* Windranger's highly mobile playstyle allows her to easily control Lifestealer from a distance, as he has no disables on his own. Windrun not only provides her with bonus move speed, but evasion as well, undoing Lifestealer's ability to attack her. In combination with Focus Fire, Windranger can easily dispose of Lifestealer without him being able to reach her.
Bloodseeker
* Thirst detects Riki whenever his health is low.
* Rupture does large damage when Riki uses 
Blink Strike.
Bloodseeker
* Thirst allows Bloodseeker to see where Io relocated to, should either Io or the tethered hero have low health.

Bloodseeker
* Bloodseeker's Rupture shows a clear red trail effect on the real Phantom Lancer.
* Heroes with undispellable debuffs will help identify the real Phantom Lancer through visual effects or debuff indicators, provided that it was cast on the real Phantom Lancer to begin with:
* 
Doom's Doom marks Phantom Lancer with a highly visible effect, and also silences and mutes him.
