[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 7%)Treant Protector
* Invisibility reliant heroes: Heroes with invisibility abilities or those that have invested into invisibility items are hindered by Bounty Hunter's Track. Few examples of such heroes are:Clinkz,

Venomancer

Spectre,
Ursa, and
Dragon Knight.
Monkey King
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 8%)Treant Protector

Clinkz
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 7%)Dragon Knight
* Heroes with high armor like Dragon Knight, or with abilities to cause attacks to miss like
Phantom Assassin,
Riki and
Tinker will be hard to deal with, as Clinkz relies almost entirely on physical attacks.
Additional:
* The extra damage from Searing Arrows is largely blocked by Dragon Knight's armor.
* Clinkz has too low health to survive a gank.Getting stunned keeps him down long enough for a reaction.
* Breathe Fire reduces his damage,as it is physical.

Troll Warlord
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)Dragon Knight
* Heroes that rely on physical damage are ineffective against Dragon Knight due to his high armor: Phantom Assassin,
Bloodseeker,
Lifestealer,
Troll Warlord,
Sven
Treant Protector
* Clinkz,
Sniper,
Lone Druid,
Troll Warlord,
Legion Commander and
Wraith King are some of the Heroes that base themselves on attacks with little or no spell power, so they suffer in the grassy hands of Overgrowth.
Juggernaut
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 11%)Dragon Knight
* Heroes with high armor and/or durability can handle Juggernaut's ultimate, such as Sven and
Dragon Knight.

Dazzle,
Oracle,
Bane,
Pugna,
Tusk,
Winter Wyvern,
Io,
Underlord,
Treant Protector and
Keeper of the Light.
Lycan
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 57% pickrate: 3%)Dragon Knight
* Dragon Knight's insanely high armor and splash damage can cause Lycan to struggle taking him down.
Treant Protector
* Treant Protector grants protection against his attacks with
Living Armor and his ultimate,
Overgrowth is a massive AoE disarm and root that pierces spell immunity, causing trouble to Lycan. You will find yourself in need of an ally's dispel or forced to pop
Black King Bar for its dispel.
Additional:
* Lycan has no kind of teleport, being only able to walk, and heavily relies on his attacks. As Overgrowth roots and disarms the targets, Lycan can't do much in an overgrowth field.
Chaos Knight
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 3%)Dragon Knight
* Dragon Blood's armor bonus greatly reduces the damage dealt by Phantasm.
* Breathe Fire and
Elder Dragon Form's splash damage quickly destroy illusions and reduces their damage output.
Templar Assassin
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 4%)Dragon Knight
* Despite the armor reduction from Meld, Templar Assassin's reliance on physical damage and medium attack speed is unlikely to harm Dragon Knight.
* Templar Assassin's Refraction charges also get quickly removed by the damage over time from Dragon Knight's ultimate.
Additional:
* The damage over time from Dragon Knight's Elder Dragon Form rapidly burns down Refraction, allowing him to attack her.
* Also, Breathe Fire reduces Templar Assassin's damage and
Dragon Tail is a stun with a considerable duration, letting him and his team whittle her health down once her defenses wear off.
* Templar Assassin will struggle to kill Dragon Knight thanks to his high armor and health regen from Dragon Blood as she deals entirely physical damage.
Witch Doctor
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 15%)Dragon Knight
* Death Ward does little damage against Dragon Knight's armor, and Dragon Knight's high health regeneration minimizes damage from
Maledict.
Storm Spirit
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 6%)Treant Protector
* If Storm Spirit is caught in an Overgrowth, he is shut down.
* With the exception of Electric Vortex, he won't be able to cast any relevant skill.

Nyx Assassin
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 4%)Dragon Knight

* Living Armor can be used to save a hero from a Relocate gank.
Silencer
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 15%)Dragon Knight
* If Silencer can't prevent Dragon Knight from using Elder Dragon Form, Silencer's spells aren't going to be that effective against him, as Dragon Knight relies on right-clicks and not spells.
* Dragon Blood's armor bonus and health regeneration allows Dragon Knight to stay in the lane against Glaives of Wisdom.
* Dragon Knight often builds Black King Bar, allowing him to remove Global Silence before engaging.
Anti-Mage
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 11%)Treant Protector
* Anti-Mage relies on blinking and attacking. Overgrowth prevents both.
* Be wary that he will eventually farm up a Manta Style that fully dispels Overgrowth. Good players will wait for your ultimate to use their manta. Perhaps an ally has a silence or similar that would force him to use his manta before your ultimate.
Riki
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 13%)Dragon Knight
* Riki does little damage to Dragon Knight, as he relies only on physical damage with modest attack speed and lack of burst.
Sniper
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 11%)Treant Protector
* Clinkz,
Sniper,
Lone Druid,
Troll Warlord,

Bloodseeker,
Lifestealer,
Troll Warlord,
Sven
Void Spirit
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 5%)Dragon Knight
* Heroes who can match Void Spirit's mobility (like the aforementioned Ember Spirit or

Sniper,
Lone Druid,
Troll Warlord,
Legion Commander and
Wraith King are some of the Heroes that base themselves on attacks with little or no spell power, so they suffer in the grassy hands of Overgrowth.

Ancient Apparition,
Zeus,
Invoker,
Treant Protector
Chen
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 0%)Dragon Knight

Jakiro,

Kunkka,
Luna,
Dragon Knight,
Medusa,
Alchemist.
Night Stalker

Centaur Warrunner.
Mirana
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 15%)Treant Protector

Mirana,
Anti-Mage and others won't be able to do much if they're caught.
Lone Druid
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 3%)Treant Protector
* Clinkz,
Sniper,
Lone Druid,
Troll Warlord,
Legion Commander and
Wraith King are some of the Heroes that base themselves on attacks with little or no spell power, so they suffer in the grassy hands of Overgrowth.
Hoodwink
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 13%)Dragon Knight
* Durable heroes relied a lot on their main passive effects and items' effects such as Bristleback,
Underlord,
Spectre and
Dragon Knight can be disabled easily with
Sharpshooter's break, reducing their potential in teamfights.
Treant Protector
* Treant can give chase should Hoodwink attempt to Scurry away, and
Nature's Grasp can slow her down so Treant Protector's teammates can pin Hoodwink down.
Shadow Fiend
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 18%)Dragon Knight
* Shadow Fiend's
Presence of the Dark Lord reduces Dragon Knight's armor considerably, and his strong base attacks are augmented by his
Necromastery.
Dragon Knight
* Dragon Tail can be used to cancel Requiem of Souls.
* Breathe Fire reduces Shadow Fiend's damage even further.
* Dragon Knight's high strength and
Dragon Blood means that he'll be able to tank Shadow Fiend's right clicks.
Pangolier
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 9%)Dragon Knight
* Heroes who rely on skills to become a heavy hitter in a certain amount of time can waste their timing because of a lucky Lucky Shot's disarm: Terrorblade,
Sven,
Clinkz,
Windranger,
Alchemist,
Dragon Knight,
Legion Commander

Dark Willow,
Underlord,
Naga Siren
Bloodseeker

Additional:
* Breathe Fire and

Drow Ranger
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 18%)Dragon Knight
* Dragon Knight has no built-in disengage from Frost Arrows, and
Marksmanship procs ignore base armor, bypassing Dragon Knight’s durability for the most part, making Drow one of the few heroes that can deal enough sustained damage to solo kill Dragon Knight.
* With Aghanim's Shard, Frost Arrows also apply hypothermia stacks, reducing her target’s regen, which is especially potent against tanks like Dragon Knight. (A similar effect can also be achieved with an
Eye of Skadi)

Underlord
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 3%)Dragon Knight

Templar Assassin,
Treant Protector

About
This website was made to help you in pick stage of online game Dota 2. It calculates rating for each possible counterpicks based on tips from web-based database made up entirely of user contributions Dota 2 wiki.
You will get the list of recommended hero counters with a list of tips written by Dota 2 wiki contributors explaining why it's good against the particular hero. In comparison to other similar websites, which show only rating based on average hero win rate from dotabuff or similar service.
How to interpret this data
Take it with a bit of grain of salt, especially if the recommendation has a low rating (<= 1), some heroes
may win a lane in an early game but would lose in late game (and vice versa). That's why sometimes
you could hero names appearing as a counter and as being countered, as on image:
You can also add your own tips, update old data and fix mistakes by editing page on Dota 2 Wiki (it works like Wikipedia - anyone can contribute, you don't even need to register) these edits will appear on this website automatically (data is updated several times per week).
Right now there is no app/overlay that will detect picks automatically (like overwolf dota plus or become the gamer), instead, you can open web version in a steam in-game browser or use mobile version on your smartphone.
