Dark Seer
* 
X Marks the Spot prevents Dark Seer or his allies from escaping with Surge.
Batrider
* X Marks the Spot breaks Flaming Lasso when used on ally and can break if used on Batrider.
Dark Seer
* Dark Seer's only disable is Vacuum. Though he starts off with high armor and health, he'll eventually have a hard time dealing with high mobility heroes such as 
Weaver or 
Queen of Pain.
Batrider
* Queen of Pain can be an effective tool against Batrider in the game and on the line. She has long-range abilities such as 
Scream of Pain or 
Sonic Wave and a long-range type of attack, which is why she can keep Batrider at a distance all the time, and prevent him from attacking with 
Flaming Lasso or 
Firefly. Queen of Pain has an effective high-deceleration ability against Batrider - 
Shadow Strike, which is why he cannot quickly set fire to all enemies under Firefly and fly between all Queen of Pain allies. In addition, Queen of Pain has a wonderful escape in stock - 
Blink, which can save her at any moment in which batrider decides to attack

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
* 
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
* 
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
* QW-Invoker perfectly resists Batrider in his attacks, since Batrider has a small mana reserve and depends very much on him - 
E.M.P. perfectly allows Invoker to deprive her, and he also has the abilities of 
Tornado and 
Cold Snap, which can help him fend off his attack, and possibly even kill along with his team

Batrider
* 
Enrage with Aghanim's Scepter can dispel Flaming Lasso.
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.
Batrider
* 
Press the Attack dispels Flaming Lasso.
* Batrider is unlikely to win a 
Duel in any stage of the game.
Dark Seer
* Dark Seer's strength lies in his high-mana cost skills. So 
Mana Break can be a great nuisance for him, since it can reduce his mana and prevent him from casting his spells.
* 
Mana Void can deal a lot of damage if Dark Seer spent a lot of mana on his abilities.
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.
Dark Seer
* Dark Seer relies on Surge for most of his mobility, so he's not very vulnerable to slows, but much more to root effects and walls or pseudo-walls such as 
Disruptor's 
Kinetic Field or 
Slark's 
Pounce.
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).
Dark Seer
* Heroes with AoE abilities will hit Slark in Shadow Dance: 
Lina, 
Jakiro, 
Underlord, 
Leshrac, 
Dark Seer, 
Earthshaker, 
Timbersaw, 
Crystal Maiden.
Dark Seer
* The constant dispel from Demonic Purge will make any attempt to save the victim or himself by 
Surge become futile. For what it's worth, Demonic Purge will also dispel 
Ion Shell.
Batrider
* 
Shadow Demon, 
Outworld Destroyer and 
Tusk can all save a Lasso'd teammate with their defensive spells.
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.
Dark Seer
* 
Spell Steal will easily steal all abilities from Dark Seer.
Additional:
* Spell Steal can perfect from Rubick's steal all abilities from Dark Seer. Rubick's always purchase Aghanim's Scepter can two stolens abilities from Dark Seer's and waiting for seconds for second stolen abilities (example: combinated Vacuum and Wall of Replica) and many different combination.
* A good positoning from Rubick's Spell Steal waiting steal abilities from Dark Seer 
Wall of Replica and illusion from Wall of Replica Dark Seer's can fighting with effect from outcome steal Wall of Replica from Rubick's.
* Combinated Rubick's steal Surge and Blink Dagger is very important catch from Dark Seer's and enemies.
* Rubick's 
Telekinesis can lifted up Dark Seer or enemy heroes and throw to Wall of Replica from Rubick's steal.
Dark Seer
* Dark Seer relies on Surge for most of his mobility, so he's not very vulnerable to slows, but much more to root effects and walls or pseudo-walls such as Disruptor's Kinetic Field or Slark's Pounce.
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.
Dark Seer
* Abilities that deal low damage with high amounts of instances are irrelevant against Pudge during Flesh Heap's active: 
Gyrocopter's 
Rocket Barrage and Dark Seer's Ion Shell are just a couple examples.
Batrider
* Zeus is good against heroes that juke in trees or up cliffs, like 
Batrider, 
Monkey King, 
Spectre, and 
Tinker, by providing vision in any area with Lightning Bolt, or guaranteeing vision on enemies with Thundergod's Wrath.
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.
Dark Seer
* Heroes who rely on damage over time as Spiked Carapace can block and reflect only one instance of damage: Jakiro, 
Viper, 
Venomancer, 
Huskar, 
Ember Spirit, Dark Seer, 
Sand King, 
Doom, 
Dawnbreaker. However, this also means they are easily stunned.
Dark Seer
* A Sniper who is somewhat competent at positioning is hardly going to be affected by any of Dark Seer's spells thanks to 
Take Aim.
* However, an illusion of Sniper made with Wall of Replica is extremely powerful, and hard to deal with.
Batrider
* Heroes with catch to disrupt Sniper's positioning and deliver him into the enemies: Batrider, Disruptor, 
Pudge, 
Vengeful Spirit.
Batrider
* Doppelganger dispels Sticky Napalm and Flamebreak.
* There are usually way too many illusions for Batrider to lasso the real Phantom Lancer, since the illusions' hitboxes also body block the real Phantom Lancer.
Dark Seer
* Heroes that rely on illusions typically spawn very strong illusions inside Dark Seer Wall of Replica that he can use against them or their team: 
Phantom Lancer, 
Chaos Knight, 
Naga Siren, 
Terrorblade.
Additional:
* Ion Shell helps taking down illusions quickly, making it easy to identify the real Phantom Lancer.
* Surge allows Dark Seer and his teammates to run away from Phantom Lancer, who relies on his 
Phantom Rush to chase enemies.
Dark Seer
* Dark Seer's 
Vacuum and Ion Shell can clear a wave of Chen's Creeps effectively.
* Surge applies haste movement and negates the slow from 
Penitence, allowing Dark Seer to easily escape from Chen and his creeps.
* Dark Seer's full combo from Dark Seer's Vacuum, Wall of Replica and 
Normal Punch from Aghanim's Scepter can often kill Chen or any of his allies before he can save them with 
Hand of God.

Living Armor can be destroyed quickly with Ion Shell.
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's DoT spells are also good versus Living Armor.
Dark Seer
* Ion Shell destroys 
Refraction's protection stacks in short time.
* Surge ignores the massive slow from 
Psionic Trap.
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.
Dark Seer
* Dark Seer can take great advantage of 
Divided We Stand by putting an Ion Shell on a clone in order to harass them effectively.
* Vacuum can take a single Meepo and disable him for Dark Seer and his teammates to take out.
Batrider
* Flaming Lasso is the perfect tool to isolate a single Meepo and focus him.
Dark Seer
* With Normal Punch from Aghanim's Scepter, Dark Seer can gain an advantage against heroes who rely on evasion as Normal Punch has true strike: 
Phantom Assassin, 
Windranger, 
Hoodwink.
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.
Dark Seer
* With Normal Punch from Aghanim's Scepter, Dark Seer can gain an advantage against heroes who rely on evasion as Normal Punch has true strike: Phantom Assassin, Windranger, Hoodwink.
Batrider

Focus Fire.
Dark Seer
* Heroes that rely on illusions typically spawn very strong illusions inside Dark Seer Wall of Replica that he can use against them or their team: Phantom Lancer, Chaos Knight, Naga Siren, Terrorblade.
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.

Beastmaster, 
Broodmother, 
Enigma, 
Nature's Prophet, 
Visage, 
Warlock, 
Wraith King.
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.
Dark Seer
* Dark Seer's Vacuum and Ion Shell allows him to clear a wave of Terrorblade's illusions.
* Because Terrorblade often builds items that require 
Ultimate Orb like 
Manta Style and 
Eye of Skadi, Dark Seer can create a very strong illusion of Terrorblade with Wall of Replica and Normal Punch from Aghanim's Scepter.
* If Dark Seer can use Vacuum to help teammates land their AoE abilities, Terrorblade will be quickly killed before he even gets a chance to use Sunder.

Bane, Batrider, Earthshaker, 
Elder Titan, 
Faceless Void, 
Invoker, 
Legion Commander, 
Mars, 
Primal Beast, 
Riki, 
Shadow Shaman, 
Silencer, Vengeful Spirit,

Keeper of the Light, Huskar, Dark Seer
Batrider
* Heroes with other kind of disables that pierce spell immunity can hold Pangolier in place during Rolling Thunder: 
Axe, Beastmaster, Enigma, 
Magnus, Pudge, Batrider, Bane, 
Winter Wyvern
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
* 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.

Dark Seer
* Ion Shell zones out Broodmother in the laning phase, and can kill her spiderlings if used on one Spiderling in a group.
* Vacuum can pull Broodmother out of the treeline.
Additional:
* Ion Shell is a very powerful weapon against Broodmother's Spiderlings and makes her laning much harder.
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.

Dark Seer
* Venomancer is a low health hero and low range hero who is easy to harass with Ion Shell on a creep in the early game.
* Venomancer depends entirely on all his slows to keep distance or chase, but since Surge ignores slows, it is nearly impossible for Venomancer to hunt or run away from Dark Seer or his surged teammates.
Dark Seer
* 
Flame Guard makes Dark Seer not deal any damage with his skills to Ember Spirit.
Batrider
* Batrider has huge damage from his Sticky Napalm and hand strikes on the target, with this effect. And Ember Spirit not only has a small reserve of health, but also has a melee type of attack. If these two collide on the center line, then Ember Spirit will have to finish off several creeps from afar with a Sleight of Fist, otherwise he will lose a lot of health from long-range Batrider attacks under Sticky Napalm, and possibly even kill, because Ember Spirit does not have the ability to interrupt Batraider with his damage if he decides to attack
* Ember Spirit is a very tasty target for Flaming Lasso, because it has a small reserve of health, and all the power lies in the abilities that Flaming Lasso forbids using, this can help the Batraider team quickly deal with the unpleasant "jumping" Ember Spirit in a fight if he gets into Flaming Lasso
