Monkey King
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 8%)Faceless Void
* Monkey King’s clones from Wukong’s Command and Aghanim’s Scepter are immune to Chronosphere, so it is a very bad idea to Chronosphere Monkey King with his clones around.

Huskar
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 6%)Gyrocopter
* Life Break and
Burning Spear usually kills Gyrocopter before he can do much damage to Huskar.

[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 2%)Faceless Void

Bristleback
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 43% pickrate: 1%)Faceless Void

Additional:
* Time Dilation while Quill Spray and

Mars
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 10%)Faceless Void
* Time Dilation while Spear of Mars and
God's Rebuke are on cooldown will make these abilities unusable for a long time, rendering Mars nearly useless.

Rubick
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 25%)Faceless Void
* Time Dilation, while Spell Steal with
Aghanim's Scepter is on cooldown will make it unusable for a long time, reducing Rubick's potential.
* Rubick's own Chronosphere stolen with Spell Steal cannot stun Faceless Void.
Pangolier
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 9%)Faceless Void
* Chronosphere's large obstacle denies Pangolier the room to roll around during teamfights, as well as wasting his ultimate's duration.
Witch Doctor
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 15%)Faceless Void
* Beware of placing the Death Ward if Chronosphere is off cooldown, as it will cancel the effect and leave Witch Doctor vulnerable if he does not react in time.
Invoker
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 14%)Faceless Void
* Time Walk can easily avoid Invoker's combo damage if doesn't have disables.
* Chronosphere will reveal Invoker during Ghost Walk.
* All of Invoker's hidden cooldowns are affected by Time Dilation, so Faceless Void can easily slow him down a lot.
Additional:
* Time Dilation prevents Invoker from further invoking for the entire duration of the debuff, as well as massively slowing Invoker based on the large amount of spells he has.
* Time Walk will completely negate Invoker's combo damage.
* If Invoker is caught in Chronosphere, he will most likely be the primary target due to the large teamfight contribution he can provide.
Puck
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 9%)Faceless Void
* Puck cannot use spells if affected by Time Dilation, especially Phase Shift for main survivability as it effectively triples its cooldown.
* Chronosphere can end Puck's life quickly, as stun, more than 3 seconds will be a death sentence to Puck.
* If not silenced, Faceless Void can just Time Walk to undo Puck's Burst damage.
Additional:
* Hard lockdowns such as Chronosphere can end a Puck's life quickly. A Puck stunned for longer than 3 seconds usually ends up dead.
* As the type of hero that spams spells, Time Dilation counters Puck very effectively. Phase Shift is Puck's main ability for survivability, and Time Dilation effectively triples its cooldown.
* If not silenced, Time Walk can easily undo the damage dealt by Illusory Orb, Dream Coil and Dagon.
Primal Beast
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 9%)Faceless Void
* Time Walk makes it impossible for Primal Beast to stay on top of Faceless Void with his abilities and allows him to heal burst damage dealt to him.
* Once Faceless Void has an Aghanim's Shard, Onslaught can be easily escaped. He could also choose to get a lower cooldown on Time Walk, making it even harder for Primal Beast to catch him in fights or stop his initiations.
* Time Dilation will make Primal Beast useless for an extended time after casting his abilities if he does not have a dispel.
* Chronosphere has many uses such as stopping Primal Beast from casting abilities on him or allies or even on a teammate, since Primal Beast has no way to assist allies trapped within the sphere.
Necrophos
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 7%)Faceless Void
* Time Dilation while Death Pulse and
Reaper's Scythe are on cooldown will make these abilities unusable for a long time, rendering Necrophos nearly useless.

[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)Gyrocopter
* Flak Cannon destroys Phantom Lancer's illusions very quickly.
Additional:
* Flak Cannon and
Call Down destroy Phantom Lancer's illusions very quickly.
Weaver
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 3%)Faceless Void
* Time Dilation while Shukuchi and
Geminate Attack are on cooldown will make these abilities unusable for a long time, reducing Weaver's escape potential.
* Chronosphere will reveal Weaver during Shukuchi.
Additional:
* The wide range of Chronosphere makes it difficult for Weaver to avoid it with Shukuchi and, once caught, his low survivability makes him an easy kill.
* With no significant source of burst damage, it is easy for Void to survive combat with Weaver using Time Walk.
* Time Dilation will prevent Weaver from using Shukuchi or force him to use Time Lapse to dispel the debuff and re-engage.
Drow Ranger
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 18%)Faceless Void
* Time Walk could be used to close the distance within Drow Ranger, hindering her Marksmanship bonus.
* Faceless Void could lock down Drow Ranger with Chronosphere before she has the chance to retaliate due to her low health pool.
Undying
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 10%)Gyrocopter

Dragon Knight,
Sven.
Phantom Assassin
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 10%)Gyrocopter
* Heroes with heavy early and mid-game magical damage are also problematic for Phantom Assassin due to being able to easily kill her before she gains an item advantage: Lina,
Necrophos,
Nyx Assassin,
Gyrocopter. Should be noted these heroes are usually quite squishy and don't scale well with health. So to some respect, they are on a time crunch.
Marci
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 7%)Faceless Void
* Heroes that can reliably kite out Dispose, Unleash and dodge Rebound, like Ember Spirit,
Void Spirit,
Storm Spirit,

Gyrocopter,
Queen of Pain,

Pugna
* Heroes that can quickly deal damage to her, regardless of how weak they are, can easily break through her Refraction:
* Multiple attackers thanks to summoned units or clones: Meepo,
Witch Doctor,
Lycan,
Enigma,
Shadow Shaman
* Multiple attackers thanks to illusions: Phantom Lancer,
Chaos Knight,
Naga Siren (bonus for her
Ensnare). Also despite the visual effects, Templar Assassin does not spill damage against illusions or buildings, so she is not a really good hero to clean up illusions.
* Weak damage but high tick rate or persist in a long time: Slark,
Gyrocopter,
Queen of Pain,
Shadow Shaman (
Shackles),
Jakiro,
Pugna
Sven
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 2%)Gyrocopter

[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 13%)Faceless Void
* In general, heroes with AoE or long range disables (such as Faceless Void with
Chronosphere,
Pudge with
Meat Hook and
Elder Titan with
Echo Stomp) hinder Crystal Maiden, preventing her from using Freezing Field to help her team in a fight.
Clockwerk
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 8%)Faceless Void
* Clockwerk lacks burst damage, and that makes him vulnerable to heroes who can recover themselves and turn the fight around to their advantage after Clockwerk finishes his initiation. Additionally, Clockwerk hates buying Dagon and

[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 11%)Gyrocopter
* Heroes with high mobility will be able to avoid Gyrocopter's area attacks: Storm Spirit,
Morphling,
Ember Spirit
Faceless Void
* Faceless Void is one of the best heroes against Ember Spirit, providing a lot of ways of dealing with him. Ember Spirit becomes a lot weaker if affected by Time Dilation, as he can no longer spam Sleight of Fist.
* Chronosphere is also a reliable lockdown for Ember Spirit, although it can be evaded sometimes by Activate Fire Remnant. Additionally, Void can easily negate Sleight of Fist damage with
Time Walk.
* And finally, Void is a great Diffusal Blade carrier. Not only
Manabreak's physical damage not negated by Flame Guard, but it also burns Ember Spirit's mana. That, in turn, prevents him from escaping if he survived
Chronosphere.
Bloodseeker
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 3%)Faceless Void

* Heroes with high mobility will be able to avoid Gyrocopter's area attacks: Storm Spirit,
Morphling,
Ember Spirit
Faceless Void
* Time Dilation while Static Remnant and
Electric Vortex are on cooldown will make these abilities unusable for a long time, reducing Storm Spirit's potential.
* Faceless Void can catch Storm Spirit during Ball Lightning with a well-timed Chronosphere or Time Walk.
Zeus
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 14%)Gyrocopter
* Heroes with high magical burst damage will kill Gyrocopter before he gets to do much: Lina,
Lion,
Zeus
Faceless Void

Phoenix,
Puck,
Queen of Pain,
Riki,
Sand King,
Spirit Breaker,
Timbersaw,
Tusk.
Faceless Void
* Time Dilation while Dark Pact and
Pounce are on cooldown will make these abilities unusable for a long time, reducing his escape potential. However, Time Dilation is dispellable with
Dark Pact so it needs to be timed well.
* Chronosphere will not reveal Slark during Shadow Dance but covers the whole duration of Shadow Dance making him unable to use it to attack or escape. Slark still receives the regeneration benefit from Shadow Dance.
Naga Siren
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 3%)Faceless Void
* Ensnare prevents using any kind of movement abiilties, Making Naga Siren good against heroes who rely on gap-closing abilities to escape:
Phantom Assassin,
Magnus,
Slark,
Riki,
Faceless Void,
Storm Spirit.
Gyrocopter
* Flak Cannon and
Call Down can easily clear Naga Siren's illusions.
Oracle
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 4%)Faceless Void
* Any hero that can nullify effects of Chronosphere: (Keeper of the Light with
Aghanim's Scepter during daytime,
Winter Wyvern), banishing him or Faceless Void (
Outworld Destroyer,
Shadow Demon,
Earth Spirit with
Aghanim's Scepter) or protecting him in other ways (
Dazzle,
Oracle,
Abaddon) can greatly limit Chronosphere's potential.
Faceless Void
* Time Walk and
Backtrack allow Faceless Void to easily negate Oracle's burst damage.
* Time Dilation is effective against Oracle's low-cooldown spells. Although dispellable with Fortune's End, it can still catch Oracle off guard if Fortune's End is on cooldown.
Razor
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 7%)Faceless Void
* Heroes who can proc their respective passives while inside Chronosphere can still be a problem for Darkterror: Axe,
Abaddon,
Razor...
Faceless Void
* Time Walk can break Static Link very quickly, preventing Razor from building up to attack damage.
Sniper
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 11%)Faceless Void
* Heroes that can easily kill Faceless Void from outside his Cronosphere; Sniper,
Skywrath Mage, etc.
Faceless Void
* Frail heroes who lack mobility can also be an easy target to lock down with Chronosphere, such as Drow Ranger,
Luna,
Sniper,
Terrorblade.
Timbersaw
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 5%)Gyrocopter
* Timbersaw is often too mobile and durable for Gyrocopter to bring down with his area attacks.
Faceless Void
* Time Dilation is similar to a long duration silence, making Timbersaw useless in team fights, or forcing him to adapt his build.
* Time Walk negates Timbersaw's burst damage.
* Time Lock provides magical damage and lock down, and is effective against both Reactive Armor and Timber Chain.
* In conjunction with Time Lock's magical damage,
Chronosphere can destroy Timbersaw before he has time to react, and creates a large obstacle that obstruct's Timber Chain's mobility.
Queen of Pain
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 6%)Gyrocopter
* Blink makes it hard for Gyrocopter to pin down Queen of Pain.
* Sonic Wave is very effective at ganking Gyrocopter in the early game.
Faceless Void
* Time Dilation affects Queen of Pain's low cooldown abilities, making them unusable for a long time, rendering Queen of Pain nearly useless.
* Chronosphere provides excellent lockdown against Queen of Pain, allowing for reliable kills in all stages of the game.
Additional:
* Time Walk and
Backtrack allows Faceless Void to easily negate Queen of Pain's burst damage.
* Chronosphere prevents Queen of Pain from escaping with Blink, and her low survivability makes her an easy kill.
* Time Dilation will prevent Queen of Pain from using her low-cooldown spells or force her to buy
Black King Bar or a
Eul's Scepter of Divinity to dispel the debuff and re-engage.
Chaos Knight
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 3%)Faceless Void
* Faceless Void's lack of strong area-of-effect spells makes it difficult for him to fight against Chaos Knight and his Phantasms.
* From a safe distance and if not caught, Chaos Knight can use Reality Rift to pull Faceless Void out of the
Chronosphere which combined with
Chaos Bolt can expose him to being bursted down by Chaos Knight's team before Void even succeeds to escape with
Time Walk.
Gyrocopter
* Flak Cannon destroys Chaos Knight's illusions very quickly.
Lifestealer
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)Gyrocopter
* Rage ignores all of Gyrocopter's magical attacks.
* Feast helps Lifestealer out-damage Gyrocopter at close range.
Faceless Void
* Chronosphere provides excellent lockdown against Rage.
* Faceless Void's Time Lock stops Lifestealer from getting health regeneration from auto-attacks
Axe
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 9%)Faceless Void
* Heroes with gap closing abilities will be easy targets for Berserker's Call: Phantom Assassin,
Faceless Void,
Slark,
Chaos Knight,
Morphling,
Queen of Pain
Gyrocopter
* Heroes that relies on armor or other type of physical damage negation are easy for Gyrocopter to take down during the early game with his magical damage: Axe,
Dragon Knight,
Sven.
Luna
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 2%)Faceless Void
* Luna's Eclipse can be used for counter-attacks and interception against gap-closing heroes who use their blinking abilities without protection or who recklessly jump on her, provided that Luna is able to cast it in time. Examples include:
Queen of Pain,
Riki,
Phantom Assassin,
Faceless Void and pretty much any hero who relies on
Blink Dagger to close the gap.
Faceless Void
* Frail heroes who lack mobility can also be an easy target to lock down with Chronosphere, such as Drow Ranger,
Luna,
Sniper,
Terrorblade.
Juggernaut
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 11%)Gyrocopter
* Blade Fury and
Omnislash allows Juggernaut to avoid Gyrocopter's area attacks entirely.
Faceless Void
* Blade Fury will not protect Juggernaut against Chronosphere or Time Lock.
* Faceless Void can Time Walk out of the range of Omnislash at all points of the game and with ease.
Lina
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 16%)Gyrocopter
* Laguna Blade ends Gyrocopter very quickly in the early to mid game.
Faceless Void
* Time Walk will easily backtrack Lina's burst damage (especially Laguna Blade) if not timed correctly.
* During Chronosphere, squishy heroes like Lina will be main target of Faceless Void in his ultimate.
Dawnbreaker
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 8%)Faceless Void
* Solar Guardian can heal allies that trapped inside Chronosphere.
Faceless Void
* Time Walk can easily avoid Dawnbreaker's abilities or to escape her gank attempts and backtrack any damage she deals.
* Time Dilation can prevent Dawnbreaker from using her abilities after initiating, and slowing her down severely.
* Time Lock combined with his high attack speed can lock Dawnbreaker in place, preventing her escape with Celestial Hammer.
* Chronosphere locks down Dawnbreaker in place right after she uses Solar Guardian.
* On the other hand, if Solar Guardian is cast beforehand from afar, it may discourage Faceless Void from casting Chronosphere in its location

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.
