Keeper of the Light
* Heroes with dispels: 
Legion Commander, 
Oracle, 
Slark, 
Phantom Lancer
Primal Beast
* Oracle can negate and shut down Primal Beast simply with Fate's Edict, especially in the early game, as a majority of his damage-dealing spells are magic.
* Oracle can interrupt Primal Beast's 
Onslaught charge with a well-timed Fortune's End.
* Primal Beast's lethal burst damage combos can be further stalled with False Promise; combined with Fate's Edict and regen from Purifying Flames, Oracle can even completely negate Primal Beast's offense.
Additional:
* 
Fate's Edict completely negates all of Primal Beast's major damage-dealing spells in the early game and can render Primal Beast useless when cast on a target he is focusing, or in Oracle's defense against Primal Beast himself.
* 
Fortune's End keeps Primal Beast in place, especially while trampling or in the middle of an Onslaught charge.
* 
False Promise can interrupt Primal Beast's abilities, as well as further delay Primal Beast from dealing lethal burst damage. In combination with Fortune's End, Oracle can potentially save an ally from Primal Beast's spell combos.
Keeper of the Light
* 
Spiked Carapace can be used to reflect Illuminate damage and stun Keeper of the Light.
* 
Vendetta allows Nyx Assassin to follow Keeper of the Light around if he tries to split-push.
* Keeper of the Light is very squishy and will very quickly die to Vendetta and it's followup abilities.
Primal Beast
* Like above, supports with reliable stuns can be a massive problem and force 
Black King Bar in fights unideally, such as 
Shadow Shaman, 
Lion, 
Nyx Assassin.
Keeper of the Light
* 
Finger of Death can instantly shred many targets, especially fragile Heroes like 
Keeper of the Light, 
Ancient Apparition or 
Bounty Hunter.
Primal Beast
* Like above, supports with reliable stuns can be a massive problem and force Black King Bar in fights unideally, such as Shadow Shaman, Lion, Nyx Assassin.
Primal Beast
* 
Borrowed Time allows him to both exit his stuns prematurely and turn Trample into healing for himself. His Aghanim Scepter only prevents the automation of the spell, Abaddon himself can still manually activate it.
* 
Aphotic Shield will immediately debuff any stuns Primal Beast has put on allies but won't stop him from being stunned if casted on Abaddon.
Primal Beast
* 
Pit of Malice is very good at preventing Primal Beast from entering the fight and stopping Trample damage at all stages of the game.
Keeper of the Light
* 
Crippling Fear prevents Keeper of the Light from using his spells to keep his team alive during team-fights.
* 
Dark Ascension is very strong against Keeper of the Light, as it allows Night Stalker to jump the backline and quickly kill the squishy Ezalor, especially when combined with the slow from 
Void.
Additional:
* Keeper of the Light's 
Aghanim's Scepter upgrade loses much of its power, due to Night Stalker being able to reduce the duration of daytime by a lot.
Primal Beast
* 
Power Cogs keeps Primal Beast pinned down, preventing him from doing damage with Trample. Primal Beast's slow attack speed makes it hard for him to break the cogs and get away. In addition, Power Cogs' knockback is forced movement and thus will intercept Primal Beast's Onslaught if placed well.
* 
Battery Assault on a lone Primal Beast in the early game effectively keeps him from winding up Onslaught or basic attacking.
* 
Rocket Flare and 
Jetpack (from purchasing 
Aghanim's Shard) give Clockwerk many options to scout for Primal Beast, whose kit benefits greatly from ambushing.
Primal Beast
* 
Shukuchi allows Weaver to have faster movement speed and can outrun Primal Beast in most instances, such as while he is trampling.
* Trample disarms Primal Beast, so casting 
The Swarm can make him vulnerable to ranged attacks. Primal Beast also has an innately slow attack speed and will take a long time destroying the bugs.
* 
Time Lapse allows Weaver to negate and heal burst damage, which Primal Beast is reliant on.
Primal Beast
* 
Glimpse can prevent Primal Beast from initiating for most of the game with Onslaught.
* While 
Static Storm is not much of a threat in terms of damage, it does prevent Primal Beast from casting any spells for a long period of time if also trapped in 
Kinetic Field.
* Overall, Disruptor forces Primal Beast to buy a Black King Bar much earlier than he might like but becomes a major threat to Disruptor once he does.
Primal Beast
* Primal Beast is disarmed during Trample so will be unable to destroy a 
Supernova no matter how close it is to him.
* The same ability can also be used to save allies with the help of an Aghanim's Scepter.
* 
Sun Ray will do thousands of damage to Primal Beast if surviving a full channel time due to his high health scaling for the ability.
* 
Icarus Dive is a fantastic way to escape Primal Beast after he has used Onslaught.
* Phoenix has a naturally very high health pool making it hard for Primal Beast to deal with him with his magical damage.
Primal Beast
* The ensnare from melee 
Berserker's Rage can prevent Primal Beast from dealing further Trample damage and can allow Troll Warlord to relentlessly build 
Fervor on him.
* 
Whirling Axes (Ranged) can slow down Primal Beast while trampling and allow Troll Warlord to better control him from range.
* 
Whirling Axes (Melee) can blind Primal Beast if he attempts to auto-attack Troll Warlord after a fully charged Uproar.
* 
Battle Trance will make Primal Beast a sitting duck should he be rooted and attacked to death.
Primal Beast
* 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.
Primal Beast
* 
Soulbind prevents Primal Beast from being able to use Onslaught or his abilities to great effect for a lengthy amount of time.
* 
Phantom's Embrace is very difficult for Primal Beast to remove due to his slow attack speed and Trample preventing him from attacking.
Primal Beast
* 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.
Primal Beast
* Primal Beast is mostly played in the offlane role, so picking a carry who can escape from him is essential. Heroes such as 
Troll Warlord, 
Lone Druid and 
Outworld Destroyer, or generally any carry with a stun, slow or ability to fight back will stop him from having the good start he needs.
Primal Beast
* Like above, supports with reliable stuns can be a massive problem and force Black King Bar in fights unideally, such as Shadow Shaman, Lion, Nyx Assassin.
Keeper of the Light
* Heroes with hastes: 
Dark Seer, 
Lycan

Keeper of the Light
* Heroes with channeling abilities: 
Enigma, 
Witch Doctor, 
Crystal Maiden.
Primal Beast
* 
Malefice will prevent Primal Beast from doing anything for a long duration even in the early game when at his strongest.
* 
Midnight Pulse will scale with his max health so will do a ton of damage combined with any generic stun or Enigma's own abilities.
* Primal Beast relies completely on mobility to do damage, 
Black Hole makes sure he cannot use any abilities or threaten heroes he is typically good against.
Keeper of the Light
* 
Illuminate can wipe the pushing Eidolons in a lane with ease, diminishing Enigma's laning presence by a lot.
* 
Solar Bind will severely slow down Enigma and make him more vulnerable to magical damage more he moves for it's duration.
* However, Keeper of the Light does not have any way to cancel Black Hole outside from 
Will-O-Wisp provided by Aghanim's Scepter.
Keeper of the Light
* With 
Bloodthorn, Clinkz becomes a strong counter to heroes who rely on evasion and blind such as 
Windranger, 
Phantom Assassin, Troll Warlord and Keeper of the Light.
Keeper of the Light
* Heroes that can jump and kill him: 
Meepo, 
Clinkz, 
Templar Assassin
Primal Beast
* 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.
Primal Beast
* Any ganking heavy support can be a big problem for Primal Beast, such as: 
Earth Spirit, 
Grimstroke before he has a Black King Bar.
Primal Beast
* 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.
Primal Beast
* 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.
Keeper of the Light
* Jakiro's reliance on his abilities can cause struggles for heroes who rely on evasion or blinds to get upper hand: Phantom Assassin, Windranger, 
Riki, Troll Warlord, Keeper of the Light.
Keeper of the Light
* Heroes with silences: 
Puck, 
Doom, Riki.
Keeper of the Light
* Heroes with teleports to escape Solar Blind and Will-O-Wisp: Phantom Assassin, Puck, 
Queen of Pain, 
Storm Spirit
Keeper of the Light
* Heroes with teleports to escape Solar Blind and Will-O-Wisp: Phantom Assassin, Puck, Queen of Pain, Storm Spirit
Keeper of the Light
* Vulnerable spellcasters with no escape mechanisms are easy targets for Huskar: Lich, Crystal Maiden, 
Silencer, Keeper of the Light, 
Venomancer, etc.
Keeper of the Light
* Squishy heroes, usually supports, like Lion, Ancient Apparition, Keeper of the Light etc can die quickly to Tiny's magic burst.
Primal Beast
* 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.
Keeper of the Light
* Heroes with silences: Puck, Doom, Riki.
Keeper of the Light
* Heroes with dispels: Legion Commander, Oracle, Slark, Phantom Lancer
Keeper of the Light
* 
Press the Attack can dispel Blinding Light or Solar Bind from a hero.
* 
Duel can be used to instantly take Keeper of the Light out of a team-fight.
Keeper of the Light
* Heroes with abilities that blind or cause Legion Commander to miss will prevent her from winning Duels: 
Arc Warden, Keeper of the Light, Riki, 
Tinker
Keeper of the Light
* 
Rage allows him to be immune to all of Ezalor's abilities. Also, the increased movement speed combined with the slow from 
Ghoul Frenzy and the squishy nature of Ezalor allows Lifestealer to take him down very quickly.
Primal Beast
* Special mention to 
Lifestealer who can use Rage to prevent Trample damage, but Primal Beast's ultimate can still be casted during the spell.
Keeper of the Light
* Being a cast-oriented hero, Ezalor will suffer from all of Silencer's abilities.
* 
Global Silence is a guaranteed lengthy silence which will render Ezalor useless in a teamfight.
* 
Arcane Curse and 
Last Word are good against any caster, since they are extremely potent.
* However, it should be worth mentioning that a smart Ezalor will buy Eul's Scepter of Divinity to dispel Silencer's abilities. Combined with the level 20 talent (Chakra Magic applies a basic dispel), Ezalor can purge Silencer's abilities off allies and himself alike.
Primal Beast
* Any hero with low mobility and max healthsuch as Silencer, Crystal Maiden etc.
Primal Beast
* 
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.
Keeper of the Light
* 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.
Keeper of the Light
* Being an intelligence caster hero, Ezalor usually has a high mana pool and low health and armor, making him a prime target for 
Mana Void
* Ezalor's Illuminate damage and Solar Bind's magic resistance reduction are greatly reduced thanks to 
Counterspell. Counterspell can also block and reflect Solar Bind if timed properly.
* Anti-Mage usually is not hampered by Solar Bind or Will-O-Wisp thanks to 
Blink.
* However, despite all of this, if Keeper of the Light is played carefully and tops off his team's mana at all times, Anti Mage will not be able to get off a good Mana Void.
* By the same token once Keeper of the Light gets a 
Octarine Core, he can spam Charka Magic to keep his own mana ful
Keeper of the Light
* Keeper of the Light can stall pushes with Illuminate. This makes him strong against pushing heroes: 
Terrorblade 
Naga siren 
Nature's Prophet and 
Anti-Mage
Keeper of the Light
* Illuminate wipes out Broodmother's spiders and prevents her from pushing the lane. It also gives vision to reveal where broodmother is hiding in the trees.
Primal Beast
* While Broodmother can hide in the trees with 
Spin Web, Primal Beast's ability to trample trees down can give him an edge in catching her.
* 
Insatiable Hunger will not do much vs Primal Beast's onslaught of disables.
* While 
Silken Bola can slow Primal Beast down, it's not enough to stop Trample from doing more damage than Broodmother can do back.
* 
Spawn Spiderlings will be destroyed by Onslaught and Trample very easily.
Keeper of the Light
* Keeper of the Light can stall pushes with Illuminate. This makes him strong against pushing heroes: Terrorblade Naga siren Nature's Prophet and Anti-Mage
Primal Beast
* Terrorblade has no stun and is vulnerable to Primal Beast's spell comboes due to his low health points in the laning stage and mid game.
* 
Reflection can be dispelled using Primal Beast's level 15 left talent.
* 
Sunder is the only real threat Terrorblade has against Primal Beast but he may die before he can even use it.
Keeper of the Light
* 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.
Primal Beast
* Magnus is not tanky and struggles against burst damage, something Primal Beast excels at in the early-to-mid game. Primal Beast is also able to out-damage Magnus's 
Empower and can even contribute to his Uproar stacks.
* Using 
Skewer to drag Primal Beast while he is trampling will count as movement and will trigger a rapid number of slams, which could prove lethal to Magnus.
Keeper of the Light
* Keeper of the Light can stall pushes with Illuminate. This makes him strong against pushing heroes: Terrorblade Naga siren Nature's Prophet and Anti-Mage
Primal Beast
* 
Sprout gets destroyed by Trample and Onslaught.
Keeper of the Light
* Keeper of the Light can stall pushes with Illuminate. This makes him strong against pushing heroes: Terrorblade Naga siren Nature's Prophet and Anti-Mage
Primal Beast
* Illusion heroes will struggle against Primal Beast's area damage capability, such as 
Chaos Knight, Naga Siren, Terrorblade.
Keeper of the Light
* Heroes that punish mobile heroes: 
Bloodseeker, Keeper of the Light, Kunkka, 
Disruptor.
Primal Beast
* Heroes who rely on burst damage with magical damage will struggle to kill Primal Beast: 
Spirit Breaker, 
Gyrocopter, 
Leshrac
Keeper of the Light
* Heroes with extremely slow movement speed will cripple against Solar Bind: Medusa, 
Viper
Additional:
* Will-O-Wisp will keep Medusa busy after she got hit by 
Blinding Light.
Primal Beast
* Hard carries who just want to farm and be left alone will not appreciate Primal Beast, heroes such as Medusa, 
Drow Ranger...
Keeper of the Light
* Illuminate clears Beastmaster's summons and is effective against his push.
Primal Beast
* 
Pierce the Veil does not prevent Primal Beast from using any of his spells to their fullest and is one of the few heroes that can disable her during her ultimate and a common Black King Bar purchase. She will also likely be fatal to herself if Primal Beast has a 
Blade Mail active.
* 
Gunslinger will be disabled if Primal Beast buys an Aghanim's Scepter.
Keeper of the Light
* Blinding Light can knock Monkey King outside of his ultimate, Wukong's Command and can blind him.
* Will-O-Wisp will stun Monkey King from Tree Dance by destroying his tree.
Additional:
* Blinding Light can easily push Monkey King out of Wukong's Command, as well as blinding him.
* Monkey King is vulnerable to burst damage, Solar Bind makes him more so
* However, Keeper of the Light can be easily ganked by Monkey King during early-mid game stage.
Primal Beast
* Primal Beast is one of Sniper's greatest counters, as he has no real means of escape and is very squishy, especially in the early game. Sniper's potshots and 
Shrapnel can contribute to Primal Beast's Uproar and further make him tankier than he already is. Onslaught allows him to close the gap on Sniper at his own volition, and Trample can deal serious damage to his meager health pool.
Primal Beast
* 
Dispersion reduces damage based on a percentage, which is very minimal against large amounts of small instances of damage such as Trample. It reduces each tick by about 14 at the maximum level, which is very small.
* 
Desolate is never a threat to Primal Beast due to his large health pool and Uproar is still out-damaging the ability.
* Onslaught can allow Primal Beast to chase Spectre fleeing with 
Spectral Dagger, as both skills phase through trees and terrain.
* Primal Beast can also dispel Spectral Dagger's slow with his left level 15 talent, making it completely useless against him.
* Primal Beast excels at early aggression, pushing weak carries out of lane and farming areas he wants to control. Overall just not a pleasant matchup for Spectre.
* Should Primal Beast buy an Aghanim's Scepter he can also break both passive abilities.
Primal Beast
* Primal Beast has a massive healthpool making it very difficult to get through it with a nuke such as 
Eclipse or 
Lucent Beam.
* Primal Beast is faster than Luna, as one of her main ways to escape danger, is very problematic for her in the laning stage especially.
* His ultimate goes through debuff immunity, making Luna's Black King Bar less effective.
* Primal Beast commonly buys Blade Mail which is a big problem for a single target bursting hero like Luna.
Keeper of the Light
* Heroes with dispels: Legion Commander, Oracle, Slark, Phantom Lancer
Keeper of the Light
* Melee carries during the laning phase: Sven, Slark
Primal Beast
* 
Dark Pact, 
Shadow Dance and 
Depth Shroud will do nothing against Onslaught and Trample, as they are both ground area-of-effect spells.
* Primal Beast has a gigantic hitbox, which could be difficult for Slark to escape with 
Pounce should Primal Beast choose to block him. Pounce also does not completely prevent Primal Beast from trampling offensively, as he still has some room to move.
* Primal Beast has a huge health pool making it difficult to shed it with 
Essence Shift and may allow Primal Beast to build Uproar stacks against him very rapidly.
* If Primal Beast buys an Aghanim's Scepter he can also break Essence Shift from working on attacks which is a big part of Slark's damage output.
Primal Beast
* Onslaught prevents all of Razor's abilities from being effective against him, especially in the laning stage.
Primal Beast
* Since Primal Beast is highly mobile with Onslaught alone, he will be difficult to catch with both 
Cold Feet and 
Ice Blast.
* Ice Blast is less effective due to Primal Beast's massive health pool and resistance to taking damage.
* While 
Chilling Touch can be used to slow Primal Beast briefly, it is not enough to beat him back, and can also contribute to his Uproar stacks.
* Primal Beast has a dispel talent at level 15 that will remove Cold Feet immediately when Uproar is used.
Keeper of the Light
* Heroes with teleports to escape Solar Blind and Will-O-Wisp: Phantom Assassin, Puck, Queen of Pain, Storm Spirit
Keeper of the Light
* Heroes which rely exclusively on right clicks will struggle somewhat against Blinding Light: Phantom Assassin, Wraith King, Medusa
Primal Beast
* Phantom Assassin is known to be weak against bursts of magical damage, something Primal Beast excels at from the beginning of the game. He can use this to his advantage by constantly hunting Phantom Assassin down, especially if she is left alone to farm.
* Primal Beast is a good carrier of 
Ethereal Blade, 
Vanguard and 
Shiva's Guard all of which are very good against 
Coup de Grace and 
Phantom Strike.
* Even though Primal Beast does a lot of physical damage early on, later once 
Blur becomes more potent, she may find herself being overwhelmed by Trample and Onslaught instead.
* Primal Beast's ultimate goes through spell immunity and his level 25 talent makes it even more devistating against Phantom Assassin.
* Primal Beast can dispel 
Stifling Dagger and any attack modifers it applies with his left level 15 talent.
Keeper of the Light
* The Keeper of the Light easily farms on the line against the Viper, due to the fact that it has a long-range Illuminate, and the Viper, in turn, cannot use its advantage of dominance on the center line, due to the fact that it does not reach the Keeper of the Light
Additional:
* The Keeper of the Light easily farms on the line against the Viper, due to the fact that it has a long-range Illuminate, and the Viper, in turn, cannot use its advantage of dominance on the center line, due to the fact that it does not reach the Keeper of the Light
Keeper of the Light
* Heroes with summons/illusions/neutral creep armies: 
Beastmaster, 
Chen, Naga Siren
Keeper of the Light
* Certain heroes can mess up with Pangolier's positioning and timing (especially if he intends to use Rolling Thunder during combat): 
Vengeful Spirit, Keeper of the Light, Huskar, Dark Seer
Primal Beast
* Heroes who rely on burst damage with magical damage will struggle to kill Primal Beast: Spirit Breaker, Gyrocopter, Leshrac
Primal Beast
* Illusion heroes will struggle against Primal Beast's area damage capability, such as Chaos Knight, Naga Siren, Terrorblade.
Primal Beast
* Heroes who have low or high armor but very high health will be difficult for drow to burst down quickly: 
Primal Beast, 
Axe, 
Centaur Warrunner.
Keeper of the Light
* Juggernaut's 
Healing Ward keeps his team healthy even when pushing against Keeper of the Light's Illuminate.
* Blade Fury can dispel Blinding Light, as well as dodge an incoming Illuminate. Juggernaut can attack towers during Blade Fury, so he can dodge an Illuminate without having to stop pushing.
* Should Keeper of the Light obtain Will-o-Wisp through purchasing an Aghanim's Scepter, Juggernaut can make quick work of Ignis Fatuus without being interrupted by its pull.
* Keeper of the Light has low health, low armor, and no natural defense against 
Blade Fury.
Additional:
* Blade Fury allows him to be immune to all of Ezalor's abilities.
* Healing Ward heals his entire team, mitigating Ezalor's weak magical burst damage.
Keeper of the Light
* Keeper of the Light's Blinding Light makes Juggernaut miss his attacks. However, it can be dispelled easily with Blade Fury.
Primal Beast
* Primal Beast can use Uproar to tank a portion of 
Omnislash, making him much more likely to survive it. Primal Beast can also charge away from Omnislash using Onslaught as the spell ends.
* Blade Fury will never do more damage than Uproar once the stacks are activated.
* Primal Beast is very commonly buying items that are good against Juggernaut, such as Ethereal Blade and 
Heart of Tarrasque.
* Primal Beast has one of the few ultimates that can prevent Juggernaut from spinning away with a teleport.
Primal Beast
* Heroes who rely on burst damage with magical damage will struggle to kill Primal Beast: Spirit Breaker, Gyrocopter, Leshrac
Keeper of the Light
* Melee carries during the laning phase: Sven, Slark
Keeper of the Light
* Heroes which rely exclusively on right clicks will struggle somewhat against Blinding Light: Phantom Assassin, Wraith King, Medusa
Primal Beast
* Long lockdown is a great way to deal with Axe to prevent Berserker's Call from being used, heroes such as Legion Commander, Beastmaster and Primal Beast are good examples of this.
Additional:
* 
Berserker's Call will be a stun for Primal Beast and not much else due to Trample making him unable to attack.
* 
Battle Hunger is neglitable because Primal Beast has a much bigger health than Axe, so he does not need to fear being slowed, or his other abilities including 
Counter Helix or even a Blade Mail.
* Getting Primal Beast low enough to use a successful 
Culling Blade can be very difficult due to his massive health advantage over most heroes.
* Not ability related but Primal Beast does not need to fear Axe in lane, as Trample, combined with Uproar and Onslaught will do a ton of damage even if Axe has a Vanguard.
Primal Beast
* Heroes who cannot escape from Trample early might be easy first blood. Heroes like Witch Doctor and Omniknight should play very cautiously alone...
Keeper of the Light
* Heroes that can jump and kill him: Meepo, Clinkz, Templar Assassin
Primal Beast
* Any hero who lanes very poorly will struggle with Primal Beast's potential snowball in the very early levels, like Keeper of the Light, Luna, Templar Assassin...
Keeper of the Light
* Heroes with silences: Puck, Doom, Riki.
Keeper of the Light
* Heroes who are strong against mobile heroes: Disruptor, Bloodseeker, Kunkka, Keeper of the Light.
Keeper of the Light
* Heroes with channeling abilities: Enigma, Witch Doctor, Crystal Maiden.
Primal Beast
* Any hero with low mobility and max healthsuch as Silencer, Crystal Maiden etc.
Keeper of the Light
* Heroes with hastes: Dark Seer, Lycan
Keeper of the Light
* Keeper of the Light has a blind, which causes Lycan to miss his attacks.
Keeper of the Light
* Pugna easily copes on the line with the Keeper of the Light push with his 
Nether Blast, and in addition to 
Nether Ward, the Keeper of the Light is not able to throw Illuminate on creeps for a long time, so Pugna earns more gold and a level on the line
Additional:
* Pugna easily copes on the line with the Keeper of the Light push with his Nether Blast, and in addition to Nether Ward, the Keeper of the Light is not able to throw Illuminate on creeps for a long time, so Pugna earns more gold and a level on the line
Primal Beast
* Primal Beast has multiple ways to cancel 
Life Drain very quickly.
* Pugna has a very low strength gain and as a support does not have much gold to buy health items, making him vulnerable to Primal Beast's onslaught of magical damage.
* Ironically, 
Decrepify actually just increases Primal Beast's damage on the targeted ally if Trample is activated. However, it can be used to slow him down and prevent any further Trample damage.
Keeper of the Light
* Heroes with channeling abilities: Enigma, Witch Doctor, Crystal Maiden.
Primal Beast
* Heroes who cannot escape from Trample early might be easy first blood. Heroes like Witch Doctor and Omniknight should play very cautiously alone...
Primal Beast
* Heroes who can do scaling health damage to Primal Beast are very threatening for the hero. Such as: Phoenix, Tinker etc.
Primal Beast
* Heroes with unorthodox escapes will struggle against Primal Beast, such as Nature's Prophet, Tinker, and Templar Assassin.
Keeper of the Light
*
Blood Rite makes Ezalor chose between getting off Illuminate or getting silenced for a while, as Illuminate is a channeled ability.
Rupture.
* Blood Rite's silence can completely take Ezalor out of a teamfight, as he relies on his abilities to be useful.
* Keeper of the Light's only mobility source, his high movement speed (via his high base movement speed and through spirit form), is entirely countered by
Primal Beast
* Primal Beast's abilities require movement to deal damage, making
Rupture potentially deadly and debilitating. Furthermore, its initial damage based on the target's current health is devastating to a full-health Primal Beast with his high strength gain and thus high HP.
Blood Rite's powerful silence without items to counter it.
* Due to his reliance on spells, Primal Beast is vulnerable to
