Brewmaster
* 
Hex's instant cast time will force Brewmaster into the awkward situation of needing some form of spell immunity or block to prevent being immediately hex upon blinking in, or wait until Lion has used all his crowd control before entering a fight. His direct magic burst also makes Brewmaster's Drunken Brawler worthless versus Lion.
Techies
* Heroes with forced movement abilities or non-interrupting forced movement, such as 
Lion, 
Drow Ranger, 
Magnus, 
Mars, as they can cancel blast-off mid air, removing his ability to initiate or escape.
Brewmaster
* Blinking heroes like 
Anti-Mage or 
Queen of Pain can often chase down an injured Brewmaster after his ultimate expires.
Techies
* Thanks to 
Counterspell's magic resistance, Anti-Mage has a good chance of surviving a Blast Off combo.
* Anti-Mage is a natural 
Manta Style carrier, meaning he can dispel the silence from Blast Off and blink away when Techies initiates on him.
Techies
* Juggernaut can trigger Proximity Mines while in 
Blade Fury, and can walk away from a initiation with Blast Off if Blade Fury is activated before the silence.
* Juggernaut ignores Reactive Tazer when he uses 
Omnislash, whether Techies used it to protect an ally or themselves.
Techies
* 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).
Techies
* 
Fate's Edict gives 100% magic resistance, which prevents most of Techies' damage.
* Oracle's 
Fortune's End dispels Reactive Tazer buff from Techies allowing him to be attacked. However, Reactive Tazer will instantly perform the area of effect disarm that is normally applied at the end of the duration.
* Fortune's End will also dispel Blast Off silence, Techies' Etheral Blade, Proximity Mines' magic resistance reduction, and Sticky Bomb's slow. However beware that it will only dispel Sticky Bomb's first or second instance of slow and not the damage, which will trigger as normal.
Additional:
* Oracle can negate all of Techies' skills with Fate's Edict, as they are all magic damage. Fate's Edict can also be used to search and trigger Proximity Mines when crossing mined territory.

Reactive Tazer off Techies, as well as the silence from 
Blast Off!, with Fortune's End.
* Oracle can further delay Techies' burst damage capability with False Promise.
Brewmaster
* Outworld Destroyer's pure damage will mop up Primal Split's units very quickly.
Techies
* Familiars can fly over the mines, rendering them safe from damage of Techies's mines. Visage can also use Familiars to check for mines on the map.

Grave Chill.
* 
Gravekeeper's Cloak allows Visage to survive Damage from Techies's mines.
Techies
* 
Corrosive Skin will protect Viper from Techies' magical damage.
* Even though Reactive Tazer will disarm Viper if he attacks Techies with 
Poison Attack, he does lots of damage with his other abilities that can still kill Techies.
Techies
* Plague Wards may reveal a hiding Techies. If there's a sentry nearby, they may also reveal a stack of mines hidden in a juking spot.
Techies

Crippling Fear is effective in stopping Techies from using Blast Off and 
Void is effective in stopping them from running to the safety of their mines.
Techies
* Techies spends lots of time standing still planting stacks of 
Land Mines away from creep waves.
* Sacred Arrow can be used to scout hidden Land Mines among trees and at uphill places. It can also be used to catch Techies while he's planting them.
* If Techies is hit with a Sacred Arrow, he can be killed before he has a chance to use Blast Off!.
* Mirana has a high attack range to destroy his traps from a safe distance.
Brewmaster
* 
Ancient Seal's instant cast time will often silence Brewmaster before he can do anything.
* Brewmaster also has no defense against Skywrath Mage's massive magical damage.
Brewmaster
*

* Brewmaster also has no defense against Shadow Shaman lockdowns.
Techies
* Rage protects Lifestealer from all of Techies's abilities. Reactive Tazer's disarm will also not work on Lifestealer under Rage.

Additional:
* Lifestealer's 
Rage lets him clear Proximity Mines without taking damage, and allows him to hit heroes whom Techies has used Reactive Tazer on.
Techies
* Shadow Demon's spammable illusions can be used to scout Techies' Proximity Mines.
Brewmaster
* After Brewmaster has committed Thunder Clap and Cinder Brew to gank, Bane can use

Cinder Brew and 
Drunken Brawler makes it hard for Monkey King to stack Jingu Mastery.
* 
Cyclone can remove Monkey king for 6 seconds if his allies lack dispels.
* 
Dispel Magic can dispel Jingu Mastery's bonuses.
Techies
* Techies can turn his tree jumping ability against him, by placing Proximity Mines that will detect him near trees, and then destroying the trees around him with Blast Off, stunning him and dealing high damage, on top of him being silenced when the stun expires.
* Monkey King's mobility is also severely limited around Techies' mines as he will almost always trigger them due to the cooldown time between tree jumps. Monkey King will be forced to take mine damage or escape with 
Primal Spring.
Additional:
* Proximity Mines can be placed near trees to detect Monkey King.
* Follow up with Blast Off! to destroy the tree, causing Monkey King to take high damage, fall from the tree, and become stunned.
Brewmaster
* Storm's Dispel Magic combined with Thunder Clap deals high damage against Chaos Knight's illusions even in the late game.
* Chaos Knight's reliance on physical damage is easily hindered by Drunken Brawler.
* Chaos Knight's lack of area effect and mobility makes him easily overwhelmed by Primal Split.

Techies
* Techies has great area of effect damage to deal with 
Phantasm illusions.
* Blast Off silences Chaos Knight, stopping him from using his disables and allowing his teammates to walk away from his heavy damage.
* Reactive Tazer will disarm all of Chaos Knight's illusions even if he has activated his 
Black King Bar.
Brewmaster
* Cyclone from Storm in 
Primal Split can waste Nyx's Spiked Carapace, since its duration is shorter than the Cyclone's.
Techies
* Some abilities deals damage from an independent source and not from the hero itself, so Nyx cannot counter them with Spiked Carapace: illusions or summoning units, 
Homing Missile, 
Nimbus, 
Mass Serpent Ward, 
Death Ward and especially Techies's mines.
Techies
* Techies can easily catch Chen off guard and kill him quickly with Blast Off! and 
Ethereal Blade combo, especially because Blast Off! can silence Chen and stun him when upgraded with 
Aghanim's Shard.
* However, Chen's converted creeps can trigger Proximity Mines, wasting them.
Techies
* After using Snowball, Tusk can't control where he's going, allowing Techies to make him roll onto mines.
Brewmaster
* Primal Split makes Brewmaster invulnerable for the duration, rendering effects of Cold Feet and Ice Blast useless.
* Dispel Magic can dispel Cold Feet from allies.
* Brewmaster can easily run Ancient Apparition down with the slow from 
Thunder Clap and Cinder Brew.
Brewmaster
* Thunder Clap and Drunken Brawler prevent Faceless Void from maximising his damage potential in fights.
* Cyclone disables Faceless Void during Chronosphere or in general.
Techies
* Remote Mines are frequently placed in trees, and can thus kill an unwary Hoodwink should she 
Scurry away due to her low HP pool.
* Blast Off! can clear out trees, denying the tactical advantages from Scurry.
Brewmaster
* Brewmaster can use Cyclone to disable Huskar's healer for much longer than most other heroes can, to make Huskar vulnerable.

Brewmaster
* Brewmaster can make the Spirit Bear a much smaller threat with Cinder Brew.
* Cyclone removes the bear from a fight so that his team can easily focus on the hero.

* Proximity Mines, 
Sticky Bomb and Blast Off! can deal heavy magic damage to multiple Meepos.
Techies

Waveform and 
Adaptive Strike (Strength), leaving him defenseless and making him an easy target to burst down.
Brewmaster
* Dispel Magic from {U:Storm} instantly removes Heavenly Grace and Guardian Angel from Omniknight's allies in its radius of effect.
Techies
* If Storm Spirit isn't careful, he could fall into a trap set by Techies and another hero acting as bait.

Ball Lightning to escape for a lengthy duration.

* Sticky Bomb is easy to land on a large clump of Terrorblade illusions and will damage and slow Terrorblade and all of his illusions if he can't quickly move the right one away.
* Reactive Tazer upgraded with 
Aghanim's Scepter can be used to protect an ally getting attacked by Terrorblade. Further, it disarms all of his illusions even while he has activated Black King Bar, greatly decreasing his damage.

Sunder.
Techies
* Slow heroes that have a hard time escaping the Echo Stomp radius: Crystal Maiden,

* Because they explode in very short intervals, a stack of Remote Mines will always trigger Borrowed Time, making them impossible to kill Abaddon unless his resistances are lowered enough or Abaddon is affected by Break.
* Abaddon can easily dispel the long-lasting root of Stasis Trap on himself and on an ally, while at the same also providing protection against the other mines' damage.
Additional:
* 
Borrowed Time's automatic activation will help Abaddon survive a field of Proximity Mines or a Blast Off combo. However, the damage from a single mine can kill him if his HP is low enough.
