Gyrocopter
* 
Rage ignores all of Gyrocopter's magical attacks.
* 
Feast helps Lifestealer out-damage Gyrocopter at close range.
Dark Willow
* Rage protects and dispels all of Dark Willow's abilities.
Additional:
* Rage protects Lifestealer from all of Dark Willow's abilities.
Gyrocopter
* 
Blade Fury and 
Omnislash allows Juggernaut to avoid Gyrocopter's area attacks entirely.
Dark Willow
* Blade Fury dispels most of Dark Willow's abilities, allowing Juggernaut to pass through Bramble Maze and cancel out Cursed Crown before the stun occurs.
* However, Dark Willow can tank Omnislash with 
Shadow Realm. As she is a valid target, but invulnerable to right clicks.
Additional:
* None of Dark Willow's spells pierce Spell Immunity, making Blade Fury a good counter against her. Additionally, it dispels 
Cursed Crown and 
Bramble Maze.
* Dark Willow is generally fragile, which results in Omnislash being devastating against her.
* However, if Shadow Realm is activated during Omnislash, then the attack damage is negated (though Omnislash can still jump to other enemies).
Gyrocopter
* 
Mana Break makes Gyrocopter, who has low mana pool, unable to use his abilities that most of his damage output depends on.
* 
Counterspell negates magical damages from Gyrocopter and it can also reflect Homing Missile back to himself.
* Anti-Mage can easily escape from Gyrocopter's attack range and Call Down with 
Blink.
Dark Willow
* Counterspell negates Dark Willow's high magic burst damage. Its active blocks Cursed Crown.
* Blink allows Anti-Mage to dodge Terrorize during its long cast animation, as well as avoiding the obstacles from Bramble Maze. On the other hand, if Anti-Mage gets caught inside Bramble Maze, he's unable to Blink away.
* Dark Willow's chained magic burst requires a lot of mana, setting her up for damaging 
Mana Voids.
Gyrocopter
* Heroes with high mobility will be able to avoid Gyrocopter's area attacks: 
Storm Spirit, 
Morphling, 
Ember Spirit
Dark Willow
* 
Flame Guard blocks Dark Willow's magical burst damage, and harms her if she tries to get close to attack with Bedlam.
* 
Sleight of Fist and 
Fire Remnant makes it hard for Dark Willow to fully disable Ember Spirit.
Gyrocopter
* Abilities that deal low damage with high amounts of instances are irrelevant against Pudge during Flesh Heap's active:

Rocket Barrage and 
Dark Seer's 
Ion Shell are just a couple examples.
Dark Willow
* 
Rot and 
Meat Hook hits Dark Willow even when she uses Shadow Realm.
*

Gyrocopter
* 
Guardian Angel negates most of Gyrocopter's physical АоЕ damage.
* 
Heavenly Grace dispels Homing Missile stun.
Dark Willow
* 
Fortune's End not being disjointable is almost an ensured disable if Dark Willow tries to escape with Shadow Realm. Dispels Cursed Crown and Terrorize.
* 
Fate's Edict negates all her magic damage in case she catches a single hero.
* 
False Promise's strong dispel removes Dark Willow's disables.
Additional:
* Fortune's End can easily dispel Cursed Crown before it times out and stuns. He can also save a stunned ally with False Promise.
* Fate's Edict can easily negate 
Bedlam's over-time damage, since the spell provides no form of control. Similarly, he can also negate the magic burst from Shadow Realm.
* Fortune's End can dispel the fear effect from 
Terrorize, and it can remove the root from Bramble Maze if cast quick enough. Be mindful that Fortune's End only dispels your allies' debuffs on the primary target.
Gyrocopter
* 
Laguna Blade ends Gyrocopter very quickly in the early to mid game.
Dark Willow
* 
Ancient Seal instantly shuts down Dark Willow's abilities, rendering her defenseless against his high burst damage spells, while she cannot cast spells of her own.
* 
Mystic Flare deals immense burst damage in an area, damaging Dark Willow through Shadow Realm.
Gyrocopter
* Void Spirit can easily dodge Gyrocopter's {Ability ID:Homing Missile|gyrocopter} with the help of Dissimilate.
* Void Spirit can partly dodge 
Call Down via Dissimilate or move out of its range with Astral Step.
* Gyrocopter has no escape abilities, which benefits Void Spirit's high mobility.
Dark Willow
* Nyx Assassin's high burst damage can be the bane of Dark Willow, as her low health makes it difficult to survive long enough to escape through Shadow Realm.
* 
Spiked Carapace can be triggered by walking deliberately into Bramble Maze, leaving Dark Willow stunned and defenseless.
Dark Willow
* Jakiro's area of effect abilities can hit Dark Willow even while she is hidden during the Shadow Realm.
* Waiting about 2 seconds after Dark Willow casts Shadow Realm to cast Ice Path will stun her while her Shadow Realm is at it's maximum damage.
* Jakiro can stun Dark Willow when there is about 1 second left on Cursed Crown, Jakiro's Ice Path stun lasts slightly longer then Cursed Crown.
Dark Willow
* 
Last Word and 
Arcane Curse have the range to hit Dark Willow beyond Bramble Maze.
* 
Global Silence renders Dark Willow useless in teamfights.
Dark Willow
*

* 
Blink Strike lets Riki jump past Bramble Maze.
Dark Willow
* 
Gust can hit Dark Willow beyond a defensive Bramble Maze, and before she gets close enough to hit Drow Ranger with Bedlam.
* Drow Ranger's long range allows her to hit Dark Willow's team without venturing into her Bramble Maze.
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.
Gyrocopter
* 
Life Break and 
Burning Spear usually kills Gyrocopter before he can do much damage to Huskar.
* 
Inner Fire applies a disarm on all enemies, which can be a hindrance to Gyrocopter.
Dark Willow
* All of Puck's abilities are area-targeted, and will hit Dark Willow when she uses Shadow Realm.
* 
Illusory Orb allows Puck to bypass Bramble Maze, close the gap and silence Dark Willow with 
Waning Rift.
* 
Phase Shift helps Puck dodge attacks charged by Shadow Realm, and is easily timed against Terrorize's long cast time.
Dark Willow
* 
Quill Spray's constant AoE damage will hit Dark Willow even in Shadow Realm. Its automatic damage will hurt her if she tries to get close and use Bedlam.
Gyrocopter
* Any hero with a low HP pool is easy for Tinker to nuke down: 
Crystal Maiden, 
Enchantress, Gyrocopter, 
Lion, 
Riki, 
Techies, 
Terrorblade, 
Necrophos, 
Invoker.
Gyrocopter
* Heroes with weaker mobility will struggle to keep up with Night Stalker: Gyrocopter,

Sven, 
Wraith King

Mirana, 
Monkey King, Morphling, Phantom Assassin, 
Phantom Lancer, Riki,

Lina, Lion, 
Zeus
Gyrocopter
* Heroes with high magical burst damage will kill Gyrocopter before he gets to do much: Lina, Lion, Zeus

Homing Missile, and Zeus's 
Nimbus.
Gyrocopter

Dark Willow
* 
Berserker's Call forces Dark Willow to attack, cancelling Shadow Realm.
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.
Gyrocopter
* Flak Cannon and Call Down will shred Meepo's clones.
* Homing Missile can catch and single out retreating Meepos, making them an easy kill.
Dark Willow
* Casting Bramble Maze on top of Meepo guarantees a root, as it is nearly impossible to leave the thorns with all of Meepo's clones.
* Terrorize and Cursed Crown offer great disables against the grouped Meepos and can prevent them from using 
Poof to escape.
Gyrocopter
* Heroes with high physical and magical damage alike are a huge hazard for Muerta, as they can deal serious damage to her even if she has 
Pierce the Veil active: 
Luna, Lina, 
Tusk, 
Broodmother, Shadow Fiend, Ember Spirit, Gyrocopter, 
Vengeful Spirit, 
Arc Warden, 
Medusa, 
Shadow Shaman.
Dark Willow
* Terrorize, Bedlam and Cursed Crown can damage Muerta through Pierce the Veil.
* Even if Muerta has Black King Bar and Pierce the Veil active, Dark Willow can still use Shadow Realm to protect herself against the Pierce the Veil's high damage, as Muerta cannot attack her for it's duration.
Gyrocopter
* Heroes with strong area-of-effect damaging and/or disabling abilities will be able to intercept Underlord and his team when they exit from Fiend's Gate: Luna's

* Troll Warlord's lack of burst damage makes it hard for him to kill Dark Willow before she slips into Shadow Realm.
Dark Willow
* Bramble Maze stops 
Charge of Darkness in its tracks. Its very long duration means it can be used as an obstacle to block off an incoming Spirit Break during teamfights.
* Shadow Realm and Bedlam can be activated when Dark Willow sees Charge of Darkness coming, preventing Spirit Breaker from using 
Nether Strike after the initial stun.
Gyrocopter
* Homing Missile can be used to cancel escape attempts with 
Relocate.
* Flak Cannon allows Gyrocopter to attack both, Io and his

Additional:
* Windrun does not protect Windranger from Cursed Crown stun or Dark Willow's magical nukes.
* Focus Fire cannot target Dark Willow in Shadow Realm and will be interrupted if targeted earlier, wasting the ultimate.
Dark Willow
* Bramble Maze will very likely catch Marci midair, disabling Marci's chasing/fleeing ability.
* Shadow Realm prevents Marci from bursting Willow down since she relies on physical attacks and unit target spells. With Aghanim's Scepter, Willow can hit Marci while Marci can't hit Willow.
* Bedlam and 
Eul's Scepter of Divinity allows Willow to manfight if Marci initiates with Rebound.
* Terrorize and Cursed Crown combo can waste Marci's ultimate for almost half of its duration.
Gyrocopter
* Flak Cannon rips through Tombstone's zombies.
Additional:
* Flak Cannon enables Gyrocopter to clear the zombies easily.
Dark Willow

Dark Willow
* Heroes with powerful rooting abilities will disable most of Pangolier's skills, a bonus point if it pierces spell immunity since it will also be able to stop Pangolier during his Rolling Thunder: 
Treant Protector, Meepo, Crystal Maiden, Dark Willow, 
Underlord, Naga Siren
Gyrocopter
* Weak damage but high tick rate or persist in a long time: Slark, Gyrocopter, Queen of Pain, Shadow Shaman (
Shackles), Jakiro,

* 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, Doom
Dark Willow
* Heroes with high magical or pure damage will bypass Bulwark: 
Timbersaw, Dark Willow, Enigma, Invoker, Pugna,

* Heroes with cleave or multi-target attacks can quickly take on Familiars and reduce Visage's firepower like Gyrocopter, 
Kunkka, Magnus and Medusa.

Dark Willow
* Terrorize forces Faceless Void out of 
Chronosphere.
Gyrocopter
* Timbersaw is often too mobile and durable for Gyrocopter to bring down with his area attacks.

* Cursed Crown can still catch Timbersaw if he Timber Chains away.
* 
Reactive Armor offers little protection against Dark Willow's high magical damage.
Gyrocopter
* Heroes who rely on burst damage with magical damage will struggle to kill Primal Beast: 
Spirit Breaker, Gyrocopter, 
Leshrac
Dark Willow
* 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.
Dark Willow
* Heroes with high burst damage and Black King Bar can take down Dark Willow quickly: Phantom Assassin, Sven, Wraith King
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 can gain an item advantage over them: Lina, Necrophos, 
Nyx Assassin, Gyrocopter, Jakiro, Death Prophet.
Dark Willow
* Heroes with high burst damage and Black King Bar can take down Dark Willow quickly: Phantom Assassin, Sven, Wraith King
Gyrocopter

Gyrocopter
*
Magnetic Field evades most of Gyrocopter's attacks.
Dark Willow

Magnetic Field lets Arc Warden or allies evade Dark Willow's shadow realm attacks. The duration of the evasion can be extended with the clone. 
Spark Wraith also exploits Dark Willow's low mobility.
*
