Invoker
* In the early to mid game, Invoker is defenseless against Storm Spirit's ganking with 
Ball Lightning and 
Orchid Malevolence.
Earth Spirit
* Storm Spirit outlanes Earth Spirit wins by having a ranged attack type, and also deals damage to the Earth Spirit every time he approaches the creeps with his ability 
Static Remnant, which is why he overtakes Earth Spirit in level and gold
* Storm Spirit has the ability to quickly kill Earth Spirit under his ability 
Electric Vortex, which Earth Spirit cannot do if Storm Spirit buys 
Falcon Blade at the liner stage, because Storm Spirit will have too much health for Earth Spirit`s abilities and will survive Earth Spirit`s damage.

Invoker
* Heroes with mana burn: 
Nyx Assassin, 
Invoker, 
Outworld Destroyer, 
Pugna, 
Lion
Invoker
* Lone Druid has a very large reserve of health against Invoker abilities, this allows him to survive a large number of attacks from Invoker and kill him, also 
Entangling Claws reveal invisibility from 
Ghost Walk, which allows the Lone Druid team to catch the popular QW-Invoker
Additional:
* Lone Druid has a very large reserve of health against Invoker abilities, this allows him to survive a large number of attacks from Invoker and kill him, also Entangling Claws reveal invisibility from Ghost Walk, which allows the Lone Druid team to catch the popular QW-Invoker
Earth Spirit
* 
Aphotic Shield is a strong dispel, meaning it can save allies from Earth Spirit's stun, slow, silence, and Magnetize.
* 
Borrowed Time makes it nearly impossible for Earth Spirit to kill Abaddon.
Invoker
* Zeus greatly hinders Invoker on the line with his long-range abilities. QW- and QE-Invoker have a very long recharge on abilities, and Zeus' 
Arc Lightning ability recharges too quickly, which is why he quickly kills a pack of creeps and drives Invoker under his tower, punching and not letting finish off creeps
* 
Lightning Bolt and 
Thundergod's Wrath abilities reveal invisibility of enemies, for example Invoker invisibility from Ghost Walk ability

* Lightning Bolt and Thundergod's Wrath abilities reveal invisibility of enemies, for example Invoker invisibility from Ghost Walk ability
Invoker
* Anti-Mage's mobility and magic resistance make him nearly impossible to kill alone.
* Invoker's spells cost a lot of mana, and Invoker himself has a lot of mana. This means Invoker and his team are vulnerable to 
Mana Void's heavy damage.
* 
Blink allows Anti-Mage to escape from Invoker's combo if he doesn't have disables.
Invoker
* Broodmother can kill Invoker easily in the early game with her 
Spawn Spiderlings and her spiderlings.
* Broodmother is both an Orchid Malevolence and a 
Nullifier carrier. As she can farm it early, she can kill Invoker easily.
Earth Spirit
* 
Shapeshift allows Lycan to chase down Earth Spirit.
Invoker
* 
Crippling Fear is a good way to shut down and gank Invoker in the early game..
* 
Void deals good damage to Invoker and makes escaping harder.
* With 
Hunter in the Night and Void, Invoker can't get away from Night Stalker and won't be able to catch him with Sun Strike during the night.
Invoker
* Nyx Assassin can simply activate 
Spiked Carapace while under many Invoker's abilities to stun him.
* Nyx Assassin takes advantage of Invoker's massive intelligence gain to do tons of damage using 
Mind Flare, as the spell does more damage based on the target's intelligence.
* 
Vendetta burns a large amount of Invoker's essential mana pool.
Invoker
* Rage protects Lifestealer from all of Invoker's spells (except for 
Sun Strike).
Additional:
* 
Rage grants immunity from Invoker's spells and can dispel most of the disables such as the armor loss from Forge Spirit and the constant stuns of Cold Snap.
Invoker
* Invoker is heavily dependent on his spells, making him useless during 
Global Silence, as well as interrupting Invoker during his combo.
* 
Arcane Curse is particularly deadly, because Invoker will continuously lose health if he keeps invoking and casting new spells.
* 
Last Word will silence Invoker when he casts Invoke, interrupting his combo.
Invoker
* A good choice against Invoker, as it has some advantage with the help of abilities.
* With the 
Dissimilate, Voidspirit can evade Invoker's skills, going to another world where he does not receive damage. The same ability to run away or attack quickly.
* 
Astral Step moves quickly from point to point, which also reduces the Invoker's probability that he will hit him with skills and cause at least some damage.
Additional:

* With the Dissimilate, Voidspirit can evade Invoker's skills, like 
Chaos Meteor or 
E.M.P., going to another world where he does not receive damage. The same ability to run away or attack quickly.
* Astral Step moves quickly from point to point, which also reduces the Invoker's probability that he will hit him with skills and cause at least some damage.
Invoker
* Queen of Pain usually outlanes Invoker, giving her team a significant early game advantage while Invoker is still farming.
* 
Blink allows Queen of Pain to escape from Invoker's combo if he doesn't have disables.
Invoker
* Juggernaut's instant spell immunity from 
Blade Fury. helps him dodge Invoker's combos. He can dispel the disables from 
Cold Snap and 
Deafening Blast and dodge the damage from Chaos Meteor, as well as walk through 
Ice Wall.
* Juggernaut's high DPS allows him to kill split pushing 
Forge Spirit(s) effortlessly, and his high armor prevents them from being a threat to him.
* However, Invoker can hit Juggernaut with Sun Strike through Blade Fury, making the 
Tornado and Sun Strike combo a threat if he does not dodge Tornado.
Additional:
* Blade Fury, similar to Rage, grants immunity to Invoker's spells and can dispel some debuffs as well.
* 
Omnislash renders Juggernaut invulnerable to Invoker's spells and can easily take Invoker down.
Invoker
* Quas-Exort Invoker is also a good matchup due to the fact he has no 
Wex to run faster due to the movement impairment on his stealth. The Forge Spirit and Cold Snap combo doesn't harm her as well since you can drain Invoker's HP with Spirit Siphon which forces him to retreat.
* Silence also prevents Invoker from using 
Invoke or casting his main spells temporarily. There is no way Invoker can block it unless he has 
Eul's Scepter of Divinity to cyclone himself or has help from allies.
Earth Spirit
* Clockwerk's 
Battery Assault disables Earth Spirit's Rolling Boulder, while his 
Power Cogs ensure, that Earth Spirit can't move away from it.
* His 
Hookshot allows him to chase after Earth Spirit, while using 
Rocket Flare to gain vision.
Invoker
* Puck Outlanes Invoker with his abilities: 
Illusory Orb, 
Waning Rift finishing off all creeps on the line and getting a higher level than him
* Puck dodges Invoker's magic attacks with his abilities: Illusory Orb, 
Phase Shift in a fight, preventing Invoker from doing damage
Additional:
* Puck Outlanes Invoker with his abilities: Illusory Orb, Waning Rift finishing off all creeps on the line and getting a higher level than him
* Puck dodges Invoker's magic attacks with his abilities: Illusory Orb, Phase Shift in a fight, preventing Invoker from doing damage
Earth Spirit
* Puck can forbid the opportunity to avoid trouble for Earth Spirit on his own 
Rolling Boulder, using abilities: 
Dream Coil, Waning Rift
Additional:
* Puck can forbid the opportunity to avoid trouble for Earth Spirit on his own Rolling Boulder, using abilities: Dream Coil, Waning Rift
Earth Spirit
* Earth Spirit Eliminates the possibility of the Puck to hide in Phase Shift and avoid an attack by 
Geomagnetic Grip with its AOE-silence, which is why it can help the team kill him
* Puck can't throw off the effect of 
Magnetize any of his abilities, which is why he will constantly receive damage if Earth Spirit extends this ability with his 
Stone Remnant
Additional:
* Earth Spirit Eliminates the possibility of the Puck to hide in Phase Shift and avoid an attack by Geomagnetic Grip with its AOE-silence, which is why it can help the team kill him
* Puck can't throw off the effect of Magnetize any of his abilities, which is why he will constantly receive damage if Earth Spirit extends this ability with his Stone Remnant
Invoker
* 
Doom completely takes Invoker out of a team fight, a hero who relies heavily on using abilities and items to contribute in team fights.
Additional:
* Doom is a good way to shut down Invoker, preventing from casting spells and using items for a lengthy time, thus forcing him to invest on 
Linken's Sphere.
Invoker
* Invoker's Ghost Walk can be countered, however, Invoker could also use abilities like Tornado or Ice Wall to escape by other means.
Invoker
* Heroes with silence: 
Death Prophet, 
Riki, 
Drow Ranger.
Invoker
* Heroes with long lockdowns: 
Shadow Shaman, 
Legion Commander.
Invoker
* Heroes that depend on disrupting fights with ability combos or big ultimate abilities are vulnerable to the long stun of Fiend's Grip: 
Disruptor, Death Prophet, 
Enigma, 
Faceless Void, Invoker, 
Lich, 
Magnus, 
Mars, 
Medusa, Outworld Destroyer, 
Phoenix, 
Puck, 
Queen of Pain, 
Shadow Fiend, 
Treant Protector, 
Underlord, 
Winter Wyvern, 
Witch Doctor, 
Zeus.
Invoker
* 
Bounty Hunter and 
Slardar both have ultimates (
Corrosive Haze and 
Track) that reveal Invoker through Ghost Walk.
Earth Spirit
* Heroes who can dodge Earth Spirit's abilities: 
Ember Spirit, Puck, 
Weaver
Earth Spirit
* Heroes with fast movement abilities will suffer huge damage when afflicted by Rupture: 
Spirit Breaker, 
Earth Spirit, 
Dark Seer.
Earth Spirit
* Heroes with blink or movement abilities, which are disabled by Pounce's leash: 
Anti-Mage, Earth Spirit, Faceless Void, Magnus, 
Mirana, 
Monkey King, 
Morphling, 
Pangolier, 
Phantom Assassin, Phoenix, Puck, Queen of Pain, Riki, 
Sand King, Spirit Breaker, 
Timbersaw, 
Tusk.
Additional:
* 
Pounce's root prevents Earth Spirit from using Rolling Boulder to escape, making it easier for Slark to shut him down especially in the laning phase.
Invoker
* Heroes with silence: Death Prophet, Riki, Drow Ranger.
Invoker
* 
Astral Imprisonment allows Outworld Destroyer to save himself or ally from Invoker's combo, or remove Invoker from a fight temporarily.
* 
Arcane Orb's pure damage will deal a lot of damage against Invoker's mediocre strength gain.
* E.M.P. is useless against Outworld Destroyer by activating 
Equilibrium.
* However, be aware that 
Sanity's Eclipse will most likely not deal any damage at all, due to Invoker's high intelligence gain compared to Outworld Destroyer's.
Invoker
* Any heroes with high intelligence, such as Invoker and Pugna.
Invoker
* Templar Assassin can easily counter Invoker's last hitting process in the early game with 
Refraction. Refraction also negates the stun from Cold Snap, since it will need to deal damage in order to apply its stun.
* Additionally, Refraction completely blocks damage from Sun Strike should Invoker try to finish her off, provided she activate Refraction beforehand.
Earth Spirit
* Because Templar Assassin does not have escape potential in lane, any support hero with roaming potential and a 
Dust of Appearance can be great at shutting her down early game: Earth Spirit, Spirit Breaker, Tusk, Bounty Hunter, Riki, 
Warlock.
Additional:
* Templar Assassin is dependant on Refraction in teamfights. Because Magnetize deals damage per second and Earth Spirit is even able to refresh the duration of his ultimate he is suitable for wasting Refraction and allowing his team to take her down.
Invoker
* Heroes with long lockdowns: Shadow Shaman, Legion Commander.
Earth Spirit
* Heroes rely on their debuff to control the opponent will have a hard time against Press the Attack: 
Venomancer, Earth Spirit, 
Ogre Magi
Invoker
* Invoker's spells will disable and destroy Legion Commander while she's locked in a 
Duel.
Invoker
* Heroes who can summon illusions and summons because Terrorblade has no abilities to deal with multiple enemies at once outside Reflection: Shadow Shaman, 
Naga Siren, 
Broodmother, 
Lycan, Enigma, 
Chaos Knight, 
Phantom Lancer, 
Shadow Demon, Dark Seer, 
Nature's Prophet, Invoker, Morphling, 
Visage, 
Grimstroke with 
Aghanim's Scepter.
Earth Spirit
* Rolling Boulder and Geomagnetic Grip prevent Terrorblade from using 
Sunder.
* Magnetize Does heavy magic damage to Terrorblade and his illusions that bypasses his high base armor.
Invoker
* Heroes who can clear the waves of Enigma's Eidolons: 
Lina, 
Luna, 
Dawnbreaker, 
Jakiro, Shadow Shaman, Death Prophet, 
Keeper of the Light, Invoker, 
Leshrac, Puck.
Earth Spirit
* 
Black Hole is a channeling ability and Earth Spirit has at least two possibilities which can interrupt these kind of spells. Enigma is exposed and cannot move while using Black Hole, thus making it easy for Earth Spirit to stop the feared ability with the huge range of Rolling Boulder and forcing Enigma to quickly rush a 
Black King Bar to prevent this.
* Enigma is level dependant, squishy and relativly defenseless in the early game and therefore vulnerable to aggressive roam maneuvers in this stage of the game. Earth Spirit excels at ganking, shutting down a jungling or otherwise solo farming Enigma.
Invoker
* Invoker's arsenal of magical spells are troublesome for Sniper who has low HP and high armor, which does not benefit him much against Invoker.
* Besides magical damage, he can be disarmed and repeatedly mini-stunned with Cold Snap, preventing him from reacting.
* Leveling 
Quas can allow Invoker to lane effectively against Sniper despite right-click harassment.
Earth Spirit
* Heroes with high mobility can approach Sniper: Anti-Mage, Earth Spirit, 
Io, Nature's Prophet, Pangolier, Puck, Queen of Pain and most notably Riki.
Invoker
* Invoker's numerous area-of-effect abilities can interrupt Primal Beast, especially while he is in the middle of a team fight, where Primal Beast thrives. (Tornado, Cold Snap, and Ice Wall all help to disable Primal Beast and control him from a distance.
* E.M.P. disintegrates Primal Beast's low mana pool.
* However, Invoker is quite a slow-paced hero and not particularly known for being survivable against a rampaging Primal Beast with Black King Bar.
Earth Spirit
* Any ganking heavy support can be a big problem for Primal Beast, such as: Earth Spirit, Grimstroke before he has a Black King Bar.
Invoker
* Invoker's E.M.P. is extremely effective against Earthshaker due to his low natural mana.
Earth Spirit
* Geomagnetic Grip can be used to silence Earthshaker after he blinks in, preventing him from executing his combo.
* Magnetize does damage over time and thus disables Earthshaker's 
Blink Dagger for a long time.
Invoker
* Heroes with long animations can be frequently interrupted with Cold Snap: 
Earthshaker, Monkey King, Shadow Fiend Lina
Earth Spirit
* Heroes that can gank Shadow Fiend in the early game: Earth Spirit, Nyx Assassin, Riki, Spirit Breaker.
Invoker
* Heroes with long animations can be frequently interrupted with Cold Snap: Earthshaker, Monkey King, Shadow Fiend Lina
Earth Spirit
* Squishy heroes (Io, 
Crystal Maiden, Lina...), as Earth Spirit can deal tons of damage with Magnetize.
Invoker
* Heroes whose abilities can affect multiple enemies at once: Dawnbreaker, Ember Spirit, Lina, Luna, Jakiro, Leshrac, Invoker.
Earth Spirit
* Heroes that can easily bypass Io's allies to get to Io: Riki, Tusk, 
Clinkz, 
Sniper, 
Slark, Phantom Assassin, 
Void Spirit, 
Storm Spirit, Ember Spirit, Earth Spirit, Spirit Breaker.
Invoker
* 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

Invoker
* Cold Snap can prevent Timbersaw from using both Timber Chain and Chakram due to the frequent stuns interrupting the lengthy cast animations, as well as stopping him mid-chain. This can negate Timbersaw's attempts to escape or dole out extra ability damage.
* Later in the game, Invoker's heavy magical and pure damage can be difficult to avoid, meaning Timbersaw's armor is less useful.
Invoker
* Invoker is a big problem for Tiny the whole game because of its multiple disables. For example, such as Tornado + E.M.P. create unrealistic conditions for Tiny with mana, which is very necessary for Tiny at least for some attacks in a fight. The Cold Snap ability can catch an attack from Tiny's hand by surprise, because it becomes slower with the pumping of 
Grow. has a giant deceleration, creating a condition for the kite, which Tiny is very afraid of. In addition, Invoker has a Deafening Blast that disables Tiny's main weapon - strong blows from the hand

Invoker
* E.M.P. allows Invoker to burn Medusa's mana to weaken 
Mana Shield.
* Medusa's lack of mobility makes her easy to kite with Invoker's spells.
Additional:
* E.M.P. is a large mana burn nuke which can hit Medusa's Mana shield with enough damage to lose even more mana.
* Deafening Blast disarms Medusa's ability to deal pseudo-AOE damage during teamfights.
* Cold Snap allows the opposing team to repeatedly stun Medusa in short succession, preventing her from successfully casting her ultimate due to its long cast time.
Earth Spirit
* Geomagnetic Grip is not blocked by Linken's Sphere and can silence Morphling, preventing Morphling from using Waveform or Attribute Shift to escape from ganks.
* In addition, 
Boulder Smash and Rolling Boulder provide a solid lockdown if used together.
Earth Spirit
* Boulder Smash's and Geomagnetic Grip's (upgraded with Aghanim's Scepter) repositioning and disables make it very difficult for Razor to keep enemies within range of Static Link and Eye of the Storm.
Earth Spirit
* Boulder Smash can return Tusk after his initiation.
* Geomagnetic Grip prevents Tusk from using Snowball to escape.
Earth Spirit
* Boulder Smash and Geomagnetic Grip allow Earth Spirit to easily disrupt Freezing Field, regardless of where Crystal Maiden is due to their incredible range. Earth Spirit is quite possibly the best hero for stopping long channeling abilities, and Crystal Maiden is vulnerable to him without a Black King Bar.
* All of Earth Spirit's spells allow him to easily close in on Crystal Maiden and kill her. Since she is a low health support, she generally stays behind in teamfights, but Earth Spirit can easily close the distance.
* Crystal Maiden has low movement speed and no other escape mechanism, rendering her extremely vulnerable to Earth Spirit's arsenal of long-range, damaging spells.
Earth Spirit
* Earth Spirit can easily disrupt 
Dismember because he can disable from a long distance with a Stone Remnant and Rolling Boulder. With talent he can even pull his teammates out of Dismember and also silence Pudge with Geomagnetic Grip.
Invoker
* Quas-
Exort Invoker can win the mid lane easily against Alchemist because Quas regeneration will nullify Acid Spray's damage over time and Exort damage bonus will allow Invoker to out last hit Alchemist.
Invoker
* Tornado dispels Heavenly Grace and Guardian Angel from multiple targets.
* Guardian Angel is generally useless against Invoker as he primarily relies on magical damage.
* E.M.P. depletes Omniknight's already small mana pool.
* Invoker's many disables keep Omniknight's team occupied until Guardian Angel times out.
Invoker
* Cold Snap allows Invoker to interrupt Charge of Darkness and Nether Strike.
* Tornado's long range can be used to cancel Charge of Darkness.
* Deafening Blast prevents Spirit Breaker from right clicking and thus proccing his Greater Bash.
Additional:
* Ice Wall can slow down 
Charge of Darkness in its tracks at max level, allowing counterplays such as Cold Snap to end the charge, bursting down with Tornado, Meteor, and right clicks, or even teleporting back to spawn to drag Spirit Breaker into the fountain.
* Cold Snap (if timed right) and Invoker's other disables like Tornado can interrupt Charge of Darkness, especially since Charge is telegraphed by the symbol appearing over head.
Invoker
* Cold Embrace is the perfect setup for all his nukes - Chaos Meteor, E.M.P. and especially global Sun Strike.
Earth Spirit
* Boulder Smash will push Sand King out of Sand Storm to reveal his position or an activated Epicenter off of Earth Spirit's allies, potentially wasting his combo
* Rolling Boulder and Geomagnetic Grip allow Earth Spirit to easily stun and silence Sand King and interrupt the channeling of Epicenter, completely ruining his initiation.
Invoker
* Tornado allows Invoker to purge Necrophos's 
Ghost Shroud, nullifying any benefits he could get out of it
* E.M.P. allows Invoker to burn Necrophos's mana, preventing him from using his abilities constantly
Invoker
* Any hero with a low HP pool is easy for Tinker to nuke down: Crystal Maiden, 
Enchantress, 
Gyrocopter, Lion, Riki, 
Techies, 
Terrorblade, 
Necrophos, Invoker.
Invoker
* Heroes that can gain vision over trees to catch Tinker: Invoker, Shadow Demon, 
Batrider.
Additional:
* Tinker is relatively helpless against Invoker, as his 
Rearm and 
Boots of Travel can be easily interrupted by Invoker's long range disables, even if he blinks away.
Earth Spirit
* Tinker is an easy target for Earth Spirit to initiate on. He likes to split push lanes once he acquires Boots of Travel and Earth Spirit can jump him with his Rolling Boulder and disable him to buy enough time for his teammates to come and assist Earth Spirit.
* The huge range of Stone Remnant and Rolling Boulder enables Earth Spirit to stop Tinker from teleporting to his fountain since Tinker tends to buy Blink Dagger most of the time to escape.
Invoker
* Quas Exort Invoker has high physical damage in the form of Cold Snap and Forged Spirits that allows him to trade hits with Huskar.
* Although Huskar can dispel Cold Snap with Life Break.
* Sun Strike deals pure damage and pierces spell immunity, and Huskar tends to drain his HP, making him a susceptible target.
Invoker
* Invoker can drain Wraith King's mana with E.M.P., preventing him from reincarnating unless Wraith King has his Aghanim's Shard.
* Even if Wraith King survives and reincarnates, Invoker still has an arsenal of spells to lockdown Wraith King, including an easily setup Ice Wall.
* Tornado applies an area dispel to clear skeletons.
Additional:
* E.M.P. allows Invoker to burn Wraith King's mana to prevent 
Reincarnation from triggering (only until Wraith King gets his Aghanim's Shard).
* Ice Wall and Cold Snap are particularly crippling for Wraith King as they allow to kite him very effectively, preventing him from dealing melee attack damage.
Invoker
* Invoker's Forge Spirit can negate 
Flux.
* Provided he does a right combo with Chaos Meteor, Invoker can easily burst down Arc Warden (plus his clone if he spawns it.)
* An early Orchid Malevolence can shut down Arc Warden pretty hard, especially when Invoker has a good lane against him if he kills him early on.
* Deafening Blast and Ice Wall limit's Arc Wardens mobility and damage, crippling him greatly.
Invoker
* Heroes with high magical or pure damage will bypass Bulwark: Timbersaw, 
Dark Willow, Enigma, Invoker, Pugna, 
Skywrath Mage, 
Tinker, Zeus, 
Oracle.
Invoker
* Heroes with naturally low mana can be easily shut down by E.M.P.: 
Sven, 
Tiny, 
Wraith King, 
Omniknight
Earth Spirit
* Positioning-reliant heroes (
Windranger, 
Tidehunter, 
Ursa...), since Earth Spirit can disrupt positioning with his Boulder Smash.
Invoker
* Heroes with long animations can be frequently interrupted with Cold Snap: Earthshaker, Monkey King, Shadow Fiend Lina
Earth Spirit
* Windranger's has bad against Hero heavily strong escape out of reach with windrun: Spirit Breaker, Lycan, Storm Spirit, Earth Spirit
Invoker
* Any hero who can counter-initiate in anticipation without getting caught in Reverse Polarity: Sven, Omniknight, Enigma, Luna, Naga Siren, Mars, Jakiro, Venomancer, 
Elder Titan, Faceless Void, 
Rubick, Keeper of the Light, Pugna, Invoker, 
Spectre, 
Alchemist, Treant Protector, Lina, Oracle, Zeus, Shadow Shaman, Phoenix, 
Razor, 
Huskar, Batrider, 
Kunkka, Tidehunter, Wraith King, Sand King, Medusa, Dawnbreaker.
Earth Spirit
* Positioning-reliant heroes (Windranger, Tidehunter, Ursa...), since Earth Spirit can disrupt positioning with his Boulder Smash.
Invoker
* Heroes that can keep Marci for a long time in one place so she can't pursue her targets, like 
Bane, Lion, Shadow Shaman, Invoker, Disruptor and Kunkka.
Invoker
* Some heroes with extreme range, like Zeus, Invoker or 
Clockwerk, can snipe your allies from anywhere after your Grave has expired.
Invoker
* Invoker's multiple spells can lock down Undying and disable him from doing much.
Earth Spirit
* 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.
Invoker
* Heroes with silence and mana drain abilites, as Ancient Apparition relies entirely on his abilities: Invoker, 
Silencer, Nyx Assassin, Skywrath Mage, Shadow Shaman, Lion and etc.
Earth Spirit
* Heroes that can easily bypass Chen's creeps to get to Chen: Riki, Tusk, Clinkz, Sniper, Slark, Phantom Assassin, Void Spirit, Storm Spirit, Ember Spirit, Earth Spirit, Spirit Breaker.
Earth Spirit
* Ember Spirit easily finishes off all creeps on the line against Earth Sprit, exchanging health with him under his 
Flame Guard, which is why Earth Spirit can leave the line for ganks very early and without the necessary amount of gold and levels, which will give the Ember Spirit team an advantage to fight off such ganks
* The 
Sleight of Fist ability helps Ember Spirit dodge all of Earth Spirit's abilities, which makes his gank potential practically useless against Ember Spirit, and with the purchase of Black King Bar, Ember Spirit can use Sleight of Fist to combine with 
Searing Chains to catch and kill Earth Spirit.

Invoker
* Ember Spirit has a small mana pool, which is why QW-Invoker can burn it out very effectively with his own E.M.P., do not give Ember Spirit the opportunity to play with his abilities and cause damage with them in a fight.
* QW-Invoker Destroys Ember Spirit's Flame Guard with his own Tornado, which is why Ember Spirit cannot defend against Invoker's strong magic damage.
Additional:
* Ember Spirit has a small mana pool, which is why QW-Invoker can burn it out very effectively with his own E.M.P., do not give Ember Spirit the opportunity to play with his abilities and cause damage with them in a fight.
* QW-Invoker Destroys Ember Spirit's Flame Guard with his own Tornado, which is why Ember Spirit cannot defend against Invoker's strong magic damage.
Invoker
* Heroes with abilities which have a built-in spell immunity: 
Lifestealer, 
Juggernaut, Pangolier.
Earth Spirit
* Heroes with considerable mobility can easily escape from a rolling Pangolier: Anti-Mage, Queen of Pain, Void Spirit, Storm Spirit, Ember Spirit, Earth Spirit, moreover, if a player is familiar with how Rolling Thunder works, they can adjust their movement to avoid it entirely and of course outplay the Pangolier player.
Invoker
* 
Corrosive Skin makes Viper receive less damage from Invoker's spells
* Viper can harass Invoker with his 
Poison Attack in the early game.
* 
Viper Strike and Poison Attack can kill Invoker easily if Ghost Walk is on cooldown.
Invoker
* Ice Wall and Ghost Walk can be used to kite and escape from Viper.
* Chaos Meteor and Sun Strike deal heavy damage and can quickly bring Viper down.
* Cold Snap, Tornado, and Deafening Blast are powerful disables that reduce Viper's effectiveness.
* E.M.P. burns Viper's limited mana pool, reducing his potential poison damage.
* Forge Spirits can melt Viper's armor and reduce his durability.
Invoker
* 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.
Earth Spirit
* Rolling Boulder and Geomagnetic Grip disable Faceless Void so he cannot escape with Time Walk.
* Rolling Boulder will allow Earth Spirit to get on top of Faceless Void at all stages of the game.
Invoker
* Because Invoker relies on casting a large amount of spells to contribute to fights, Nether Ward can force him to not cast anything at all or take a large amount of damage to cast spells.
Additional:
* 
Nether Ward on its own can greatly hinder Invoker from casting many of his abilities, at least until he gets a significant amount of HP or is under the protection of spell immunity from Black King Bar
* 
Life Drain provides True sight, revealing Invoker through Ghost Walk, and forcing him or his allies to use an ability or item to interrupt its channeling
* Outside of Nether Ward's range, Invoker shall have the advantage, as Invoker has Tornado to purge Pugna's 
Decrepify when it is used defensively, Tornado or Cold Snap to prevent Pugna from channeling Life Drain
* A poorly used Decrepify on Pugna's allies means Invoker's abilities can be used to deal more damage to them.
Earth Spirit
* Earth Spirit does not fly a small distance on Rolling Boulder using Stone Remnant, which will be a big problem for Life Drain, since Pugna will stop receiving health from breaking the distance of the ability, which will give the Earth Spirit team a chance to kill Pugna, by the way, this also works well with Boulder Smash, which pushes the enemy and can annoy the distance
* Earth Spirit has excellent control with a small recharge on Rolling Boulder and Geomagnetic Grip, which can knock down Pugna`s Life Drain, as well as completely turn him off in a fight, because he is very dependent on his abilities
* Magic damage from Earth Spirit's abilities can be disastrous for Decrepify, as it will kill him very quickly, and if Earth Spirit collects 
Ethereal Blade in such a game, it can easily destroy Pugna in one Rolling Boulder hit
* Earth Spirit also turns out to be a strong decision against Nether Ward, because he experiences it with his large amount of health, and if he collects 
Heart of Tarrasque(and 
Bracerin early game)in such a game, he may not feel it at all and calmly control Pugna with his abilities

* See items and abilities disabled by roots
Invoker
* Heroes with powerful area-of-effect disables can initiate on Meepo and his clones and shut him down, such as Enigma, Invoker, Magnus, Puck, and Sand King.
Invoker
*
Tidebringer pressures Invoker easily in lane due to Invoker's low health and armor in the early game.

Earth Spirit or
