Huskar
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 6%)Kunkka

Dark Ascension also allows Night Stalker to fly over Proximity Mines without triggering them.
* 
Crippling Fear is effective in stopping Techies from using Blast Off and

Oracle
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 4%)Techies
* Oracle can negate all of Techies' skills with Fate's Edict, as they are all magic damage. Fate's Edict can also be used to search and trigger Proximity Mines when crossing mined territory.
* Oracle can dispel Reactive Tazer off Techies, as well as the silence from 
Blast Off!, with Fortune's End.
* Oracle can further delay Techies' burst damage capability with False Promise.
Additional:
*

* Oracle's 
Fortune's End dispels Reactive Tazer buff from Techies allowing him to be attacked. However, Reactive Tazer will instantly perform the area of effect disarm that is normally applied at the end of the duration.
* Fortune's End will also dispel Blast Off silence, Techies' Etheral Blade, Proximity Mines' magic resistance reduction, and Sticky Bomb's slow. However beware that it will only dispel Sticky Bomb's first or second instance of slow and not the damage, which will trigger as normal.

* Astral Imprisonment can allow Outworld Destroyer to save himself or allies from Kunkka's full kit.

Abaddon
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Techies
* Aphotic Shield makes it less likely for allies to be killed by mines.
* Because they explode in very short intervals, a stack of Remote Mines will always trigger Borrowed Time, making them impossible to kill Abaddon unless his resistances are lowered enough or Abaddon is affected by Break.
* Abaddon can easily dispel the long-lasting root of 
Stasis Trap on himself and on an ally, while at the same also providing protection against the other mines' damage.
Additional:
* 
Borrowed Time's automatic activation will help Abaddon survive a field of Proximity Mines or a Blast Off combo. However, the damage from a single mine can kill him if his HP is low enough.

Aphotic Shield's can easily break Techies' Etheral Blade combo.
Venomancer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 4%)Techies

Rubick
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 25%)Kunkka
* Kunkka is a strong teamfighter with his powerful control spells, which Rubick could exploit to his advantage.
* 
Torrent provides another source of damage and crowd control.
* 
Ghostship is a powerful teamfight spell, providing huge magical damage to enemies and buffing allies with damage negation.
* Both skills works the best when comboed with other source of control from allies, such as 
Duel or 
Beserker's Call.
* 
Telekinesis can reposition an enemy onto a Torrent or Ghostship.
* 
Torrent Storm works as a disruptive spell for Rubick to create chaos around him.
* 
Tidal Wave offers another source of control and repositioning.
* As long as Kunkka gains these spells with 
Aghanim's Shard and 
Aghanim's Scepter, 
Rubick does not need extra items to steal these spells.
* 
X Marks the Spot serves as a utility spell for escaping, chasing and other useful functions.
Sniper
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 11%)Kunkka
* With his 
Take Aim, Sniper can simply sit out of your ability range and deal massive damage if not killed first.

Visage
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 2%)Techies
* Familiars can fly over the mines, rendering them safe from damage of Techies's mines. Visage can also use Familiars to check for mines on the map.
* Techies's low attack speed and damage will give them a hard time in destroying Visage's Familiars, and that can become even worse if they are affected by 
Grave Chill.
* 
Gravekeeper's Cloak allows Visage to survive Damage from Techies's mines.
Kunkka
* Heroes with cleave or multi-target attacks can quickly take on Familiars and reduce Visage's firepower like 
Gyrocopter, Kunkka, Magnus and 
Medusa.
