Dazzle
* Doom can completely shut down Dazzle through 
Doom, as it prevents him from casting his abilities and, by extension, gaining Bad Juju stacks.
Ogre Magi
* Doom makes Ogre Magi less disruptive.
* 
Infernal Blade effectively negates Ogre Magi's durability.
* With 
Aghanim's Scepter, he can disable Multicast.
Dazzle
* 
Juxtapose and 
Doppelganger conjures too many illusions for Dazzle to deal with, given he has no inherent movement- or AoE-abilities.
* However, this can be partially solved with 
Aghanim's Shard-upgraded Poison Touch, as the hex instantly destroys illusions in an area as well as revealing the real Phantom Lancer when he's hiding among his army of illusions.
* 
Phantom Rush and 
Spirit Lance allow Phantom Lancer to trivially catch Dazzle even in the back line of a fight.
* Phantom Lancer has high base armor which counters Dazzle's physical damage based spells in lane.
* 
Diffusal Blade a natural item from Phantom Lancer can drains mana, which can be a problem for Dazzle, as all of his abilities have a high mana cost.
Ogre Magi
* Ogre Magi has no undispellable AoE damage or disables and has nothing to deal with Phantom Lancer's illusions.
* Doppelganger disjoints and dispels Ignite.
Ogre Magi
* 
Heavenly Grace reduces Fireblast stun time and dispels Ignite.
* 
Purification can heal damaged heroes if needed.
Ogre Magi
* 
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.
Ogre Magi
* Lifestealer's Rage makes him immune to all of Ogre's magical debuffs and also dispels them.
* Ogre's high health pool makes him an ideal target for Feast.
Additional:
* Ogre Magi has nothing against 
Rage and his high health pool amplifies 
Feast.
Dazzle
* 
Shallow Grave prevents Ice Blast's shatter for up to 5 seconds, but can mostly only delay it as Ice Blast's debuff lasts 10 seconds and prevents 
Shadow Wave from healing them.
Additional:
* 
Ice Blast negates healing from Shadow Wave, and lasts longer than Shallow Grave.
Dazzle
* 
Astral Imprisonment is a versatile nuisance:
* If it is cast on a low-enough-health unit at least 1 second into Shallow Grave's duration, the Shallow Grave will end during the imprisonment, and the target will take lethal damage when released.
* It can be used remove Dazzle from the fight at a time he could have saved someone.
* It lets himself or an ally dodge all of Poison Touch's effects, for long enough to recover their 
Blink Dagger.
Ogre Magi
* Undying saps strength from heroes with Decay, and Ogre Magi's high strength gain will allow Undying to steal more and more strength, becoming stronger with each use.
* Due to the Strength steal from Decay, Undying is normally very tanky, and has high health, making it harder for Ogre Magi to kill him.
Dazzle
* A well-timed 
Global Silence prevents Dazzle from saving allies with Shallow Grave or Shadow Wave. Items that could dispel the silence are expensive, and difficult for Dazzle to farm from a support role.
* 
Arcane Curse and 
Last Word cause long damage over time, which may outlast Shallow Grave.
Dazzle
* Culling Blade ignores the protection from Shallow Grave and will kill any target whose health is low enough. This makes Axe one of the hardest counters to Dazzle, and he neutralizes one of Dazzle's most important abilities.
Additional:
* 
Culling Blade kills any target under the health threshold, even through Shallow Grave.
Ogre Magi
* Ogre Magi has single-targeted magical-only damage and disables and is less effective against Meepo's clones.
Ogre Magi
* 
Viper Strike breaks Multicast.
* 
Corrosive Skin minimizes the damage from Ignite and Fireblast.
Dazzle
* Pugna can turn out to be an effective hero against Dazzle due to the fact that he does not allow him to extend his 
Poison Touch with his 
Decrepify, which is why Dazzle cannot keep the enemy under prolonged deceleration.
* Pugna has a very strong ability against casters with a small health reserve - 
Nether Ward, which is why heroes like Dazzle will not be able to constantly throw their Poison Touch 
Bad Juju and Shadow Wave at enemies under the action of Nether Ward or will be forced to take a lot of damage

Ogre Magi
* In general, heroes that deal burst in multiple instances will trigger Borrowed Time and heal Abaddon for a large amount, such as 
Skywrath Mage, 
Techies, 
Juggernaut, 
Shadow Shaman, or 
Ogre Magi.
Dazzle
* Support heroes with low mobility can be slowed further by Incapacitating Bite, and swarmed by Spiderlings for an easy kill: Shadow Shaman, 
Visage, 
Dazzle, 
Rubick, 
Lich.
Ogre Magi
* 
Winter Wyvern's 
Winter's Curse works very well against the increased attack speed from Bloodlust.
Ogre Magi
* 
Arc Warden's 
Tempest Double is helpful for killing Ogre Magi who lacks AoE damage and disables.
Ogre Magi
* 
Earth Spirit's useful kit of Slows, Stuns, and Silences can set up kills on Ogre Magi and the silence can stop him from using his abilities.
Dazzle
* Some heroes with extreme range, like 
Zeus, 
Invoker or 
Clockwerk, can snipe your allies from anywhere after your Grave has expired.
Dazzle
* Spectre's entire ability set is designed to get to and destroy heroes that stay in the backlines, both carries (like the aforementioned 
Drow Ranger and 
Sniper) and supports (like Dazzle and Shadow Shaman).
Dazzle
* Some heroes with extreme range, like Zeus, Invoker or Clockwerk, can snipe your allies from anywhere after your Grave has expired.
Ogre Magi
* 
Puck silences Ogre Magi with 
Waning Rift, and 
Phase Shift makes Puck untargetable for the duration.
Dazzle
* Heroes with high burst damage through their physical attacks or spells can kill Dazzle or his allies before he has a chance to use Shallow Grave. (
Lina, 
Lion, etc.)
Dazzle
* Heroes with high burst damage through their physical attacks or spells can kill Dazzle or his allies before he has a chance to use Shallow Grave. (Lina, Lion, etc.)
Additional:
* Laguna Blade can kill Dazzle quickly before he casts Shallow Grave.
Dazzle
* Dazzle's lack of a true disable makes him a relatively vulnerable target for Phantom Assassin.
* Coup de Grace will often kill Dazzle's teammates before he has a chance to use Shallow Grave.
Dazzle
* Hex abilities prevent attacking, ability and item usage, which is a severe problem for Phantom Assassin as it prevents her from using 
Black King Bar, the one item that helps protect her against the aforementioned dangers. 
Doom and 
Shadow Demon with Aghanim's Scepter also disables Phantom Assassin's Evasion and Critical Strike, removing much of her damage and survivabaility: Doom, 
Disruptor with Aghanim's Scepter, Dazzle with Aghanim's Shard
Ogre Magi
* 
Dark Pact dispels Ignite's slow and Fireblast's stun.
* 
Shadow Dance allows Slark to regenerate HP, even when he is affected by Ignite and Fireblast.
Dazzle
* Heroes that can deny Slark early kills will prevent him from snowballing: Dazzle, 
Abaddon.
Ogre Magi
* 
Phantasm dispels Ignite and makes targeting the real Chaos Knight much harder.
Dazzle
* Once he buys Aghanim's Shard, Dazzle's Poison Touch can hex enemies, and hex can instantly kill illusions, making Dazzle strong against heroes who rely on illusions. Bear in mind that 
Chaos Knight is the exception because his Phantasms are strong illusions that are immune to abilities that can instantly kill illusions.
Dazzle
* Poison Touch allows Dazzle to harass both, Io and it's tethered target on lane. Aghanim's Shard upgraded Poison Touch can also hex both, Io and it's tethered target, preventing them from escaping with Relocate, and also disarming them, silencing them, muting them and rendering them helpless against Dazzle and his allies.
* Io's damage output is one of the weakest, therefore Dazzle will have plenty of time to save an ally with Shallow Grave from gank by Io and it's tethered target.
* Shadow Wave will always hit both, Io and it's tethered target if they are near the ally Dazzle uses Shadow Wave on, while healing Dazzle's allies near them. Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Shadow Wave can bounce on both, Io and it's tethered target, causing them both to take damage and to be attacked by Dazzle. And unlike Io who doesn't get healed while using Tether, Shadow Wave will always heal Dazzle no matter on which of his allies he uses it on.
* Bad Juju will cause both, Io and it's tethered target to lose armor every time Dazzle casts a spell while strengthening armor of Dazzle's allies.

* Shadow Wave will always hit both, Io and it's Tethered target if they are near the ally Dazzle uses Shadow Wave on, while healing Dazzle's allies near them. Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Shadow Wave allows Dazzle Shadow Wave directly on Io and it's Tethered target which can also bounce on both, Io and it's tethered target, causing them both to take damage and to be attacked by Dazzle. And unlike Io who doesn't get healed while using Tether, Shadow Wave will always heal Dazzle no matter on which of his allies he uses it on.
* Bad Juju will cause both, Io and it's tethered target to lose armor every time Dazzle casts a spell while strengthening armor of Dazzle's allies.
Ogre Magi
* Fireblast is a good tool to interrupt Io during its escapes through Tether.
* Ignite can be one of the few spells with enough total damage to out-trade the sustained healing Io provides for its fellow laner.
* However, picking other supports that focus less on the laning phase is generally a better choice against Io.
Dazzle
* Heroes that can save their allies can be a big problem for Mars: Dazzle, 
Omniknight.
Ogre Magi
* It is difficult for Mars to trade blows with Ogre Magi in the early game thanks to his high base health, resistance and 
Ignite.
* 
Bloodlust can assist Ogre Magi or an ally in repositioning against Mars for its move speed bonus.
* 
Fireblast can interrupt and mitigate Mars from performing his skill combos, especially in combination with 
Multicast.
Dazzle
* Primal Beast really suffers against supports he cannot bully in the lane: this includes Dazzle, Shadow Demon and 
Dark Willow since they can use their respective abilities to stop Primal Beast from dealing burst damage, or make it hard for him to stay in range.
Ogre Magi
* Supports who can slow him to the point Trample does very little damage in the lane are also not fun: Lich, Ogre Magi, Winter Wyvern.
Dazzle
* Heroes that can slow Charge of Darkness by a huge amount: 
Venomancer, 
Viper, Dazzle, Arc Warden, Lion, 
Huskar, Shadow Shaman, Visage, 
Undying, 
Jakiro.
Ogre Magi
* Heroes that can cancel Charge of Darkness: Ogre Magi, 
Earthshaker, Lion, Rubick, Lina, 
Luna, Jakiro, 
Dawnbreaker, 
Alchemist, Ogre Magi, 
Axe, Shadow Shaman, 
Naga Siren, 
Mars, 
Bane, 
Pudge, Clockwerk.
Dazzle
* Poison Touch severely slows down Chen, deals damage over time and weakens his armor every time he gets attacked by Dazzle or any of his allies. Aghanim's Shard upgraded Poison Touch can hex Chen and prevent him from saving his allies with 
Hand of God.
* Neither Chen nor his converted creeps have burst damage at all, so Dazzle will always have plenty of time to save his allies with Shallow Grave.
* Dazzle can use Shadow Wave can heal his allies, kill Chen's creeps and damage Chen himself.
* Bad Juju can weaken Chen's armor, and the armor of his creeps every time Dazzle casts a spell while strengthening armor of Dazzle's allies.
Ogre Magi
* Multicast Fireblasts over the course of fights are a decent nuisance to stall Sven's massive damage output.
* Bloodlust and Ignite gives Ogre Magi's team the movement speed difference needed to chase and/or disengage against a Sven and his 
Warcry.
* Ignite provides strong damage over time to pressure Sven early on in the laning phase and keep his health low, delaying his transition into the jungle. Ignite is also an easy way to disrupt Blink Dagger, Sven's most popular way of initiation.
* Ogre Magi's presence in the laning phase both in terms of damage and durability keeps high pressure on Sven in lane.
* Purchasing an Aghanim's Shard allows Ogre Magi to greatly reduce the burst damage of Sven, who tends to build items focused on damage per hit instead of attack speed.
Dazzle
* Aghanim's Shard upgraded Poison Touch can be used to easily kill many of Terrorblade's illusions from both 
Conjure Image and 
Manta Style, it can also hex the real Terrorblade, silencing him, disarming him, slowing him, muting him and rendering him unable to do anything at all.
* Shallow Grave can be used to save an ally whom Terrorblade has used 
Sunder on under the condition Dazzle is quick enough to do it. And since Terrorblade has no "real" burst damage potential outside from Sunder, Dazzle will usually have plenty of time to save an allied hero on which Sunder was used.
* Shadow Wave will always damage Terrorblade and his illusions whenever Terrorblade has no 
Metamorphosis available to use, while healing Dazzle's allies. Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Shadow Wave can also be used directly on Terrorblade, and bounce on both Terrorblade and his illusions alike, causing them to take damage and to be attacked by Dazzle. Shadow Wave can also pierce throught debuff immunity by Black King Bar, one of the items Terrorblade relies on to survive in teamfights.
* Bad Juju can weaken Terrorblade's armor every time Dazzle casts a spell while strengthening armor of Dazzle's allies.

Dazzle
* Shallow Grave can prevent the death of an ally that is trapped inside the Chronosphere.
* Shadow Wave lets Dazzle heal allies and damage enemies from outside Chronosphere.
Ogre Magi
* Nature's Prophet treants can be cleared by Ignite or Multicast 
Hand of Midas
* Fireblast and Unrefined Fireblast prevents Nature's Prophet from using 
Teleportation.
Ogre Magi
* The damage block instances of 
Refraction can be burned down with Ignite.
* Fire Shield effectively reduces the burst damage from a 
Meld-charged ambush from Templar Assassin, provided the spell is cast beforehand.
Ogre Magi
* A well-timed Fireblast with Multicast can prevent Weaver from escaping with 
Shukuchi and even 
Time Lapse.
* Ignite's high damage early on applies heavy pressure onto Weaver's very small health pool.
* However, the slow from Ignite is generally useless against Shukuchi, and Time Lapse dispels it if needed.
Ogre Magi
* Ignite can prevent Earthshaker from escaping and/or initiating with Blink Dagger.
* Fireblast and Unrefined Fireblast may help prevent Earthshaker follow through with his combo after landing an 
Echo Slam.
Dazzle
* Dazzle easily breaks the position of Lone Druid and his 
Summon Spirit Bear with his Poison Touch, As it always hits from afar and prolongs the slowdown on the Summon Spirit Bear, which is why he cannot catch up with Dazzle and treat his master with 
Spirit Link
* Dazzle helps his team survive the physical attacks of the Summon Spirit Bear thanks to the treatment from Shadow Wave and armor from Bad Juju, which can enable his team to kill Lone Druid
* The Lone Druid Summon Spirit Bear has a small amount of armor at the start of the game, because of Mid Dazzle, it can very much break through it and prevent Lone Druid from gaining an advantage at the very beginning of the game, giving his team the opportunity to overtake Lone Druid on items for killing him, by type: 
Spirit Vessel

Dazzle
* 
Reaper's Scythe is very predictable and gives Dazzle plenty of time to react with Shallow Grave: Dazzle just has to keep a close eye on his allies below 50% health.
* However, Dazzle must be sure to use Shadow Wave on that ally immediately after, or they will die from 
Heartstopper Aura when the Shallow Grave ends!
Additional:
* Dazzle's Shadow Wave is a spammable healing ability that spreads around his entire team, slowing the death of his teammates as effectively as Necrophos spreads damage to them.
* If not immediately, Shallow Grave delays his ally from gradually dying to Necrophos's abilities, especially Reaper's Scythe.
* However, bear in mind that Dazzle's Poison Touch, Shadow Wave and Bad Juju all deal physical damage, and Dazzle has no abilities to help him deal magical damage at all, which can cause problems for Dazzle to kill Necrophos if he uses Ghost Shroud to protect himself.
Dazzle
* Venomancer's damage-over-time abilities are easier to heal through with numerous Shadow Waves than other types of damage, and it's simple to time a Shallow Grave until the last possible second to save a teammate from them.
Dazzle
* Shadow Wave provides good sustain against Tinker's spammable abilities.
* Shallow Grave can stop Tinker from bursting down a target.
Ogre Magi
* Heroes that commonly attack ethereal units will not have any problems against Muerta's Pierce The Veil: 
Tinker, Jakiro, Lina, Luna, 
Pugna or Ogre Magi, 
Enigma, 
Batrider, Techies, 
Broodmother, Dawnbreaker, Shadow Shaman, Bane, Tinker, Venomancer, Arc Warden.
Dazzle
* Heroes that excel at grouping up with their team very early will be able to take advantage of a Clinkz that tries to pick off heroes that are alone: 
Brewmaster, Dazzle, 
Tidehunter.
Dazzle
* Heroes with abilities that reduce armor will make Huskar very vulnerable: 
Weaver, Dazzle, 
Bristleback, 
Vengeful Spirit.
Dazzle
* Hex abilities can cancel the channelling of Fiend's Grip : Lion, Shadow Shaman, Dazzle from Aghanim's Shard with upgraded Poison Touch.
Dazzle

Oracle, Bane, Pugna, 
Tusk, Winter Wyvern, 
Io, 
Underlord, 
Treant Protector and 
Keeper of the Light.
Ogre Magi
* Side lanes with disables will greatly reduce the likeliness Void Spirit will be willing to rotate: 
Sven, 
Tiny, 
Wraith King, Ogre Magi.
Dazzle
* Heroes with armor reducing abilities greatly hinder Visage's defense like 
Slardar and Dazzle.
Dazzle
* 
Bloodseeker's 
Thirst, 
Rupture, and huge AoE silence 
Blood Rite can fare well against Dazzle.
Dazzle
* Shallow Grave prevents Bloodseeker from replenishing his health by finishing off enemies.
Dazzle
* Some heroes with extreme range, like Zeus, Invoker or Clockwerk, can snipe your allies from anywhere after your Grave has expired.
Dazzle
* Aghanim's Shard upgraded Poison Touch can be used to hex Clockwerk, silencing him, disarming him, slowing him, and muting him, and thus rendering him unable to use 
Blade Mail to return damage or to do anything at all.
* Shadow Wave will hit Clockwerk every time when he's fighting with an enemy inside Power Cogs.
* Due to Clockwerk's very low damage output, Dazzle will have more than enough time to Shallow Grave any enemy hero Clockwerk initiates on.
Additional:
* Shadow Wave will hit Clockwerk every time when he's fighting with an enemy inside 
Power Cogs.
* Due to Clockwerk's steady damage output, Dazzle has plenty of time to Shallow Grave anyone Clockwerk initiates on.
Ogre Magi

Dazzle
* Shallow Grave prevents Legion Commander from killing her opponents in Duels.
* Shadow Wave will heal an ally caught in a Duel, as well as dealing damage to Legion Commander.
Dazzle
* 
Mirror Image's illusions can easily walk straight at Dazzle and attack him, due to Dazzle's lack of reliable AoE nukes or disables.
* 
Ensnare roots Dazzle or his allies, making it harder to stay in range of Dazzle's saving abilities.
* 
Song of the Siren can be used to initiate a fight with superior positioning, potentially zoning Dazzle's high-impact spells out of the fight.
Dazzle
* Dazzle can instantly destroy all of Naga Siren's illusions from Mirror Image with Aghanim's Shard upgraded Poison Touch used on her or any of her illusions.
Dazzle
* Although
Counterspell's passive component doesn't protect Anti-Mage from the physical damage nukes from Poison Touch and Shadow Wave, a well-timed use of it will reflect Poison Touch back to Dazzle, slowing him in the process.
Aghanim's Shard, as 
Counterspell will reflect the hex back to Dazzle.
