Weaver
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 3%)Lich
* Weaver doesn't care much about Lich's slows thanks to Shukuchi.

* Visage has no mobility mechanisms, making him a prime target for Phantom Rush.
Luna
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 2%)Visage

Leshrac
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 4%)Visage
* Diabolic Edict and Pulse Nova hit all units around Leshrac, making it very easy for him to kill the Summon Familiars.
* Diabolic Edict and Pulse Nova also deal many instances of damage, nullifying Gravekeeper's Cloak.
* Split Earth and Lightning Storm makes it difficult for Visage to kite Leshrac, even while under the effects of
Grave Chill.
Axe
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 9%)Visage
* Axe can
Berserker's Call into a flock of Familiars, proccing
Counter Helix and killing them off.
* Familiars' very fast attacks will proc Counter Helix, receiving full damage due to their low attack range.
Viper
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 4%)Visage
* Nethertoxin cuts off
Gravekeeper's Cloak, Visage's primary defense mechanism.

Pangolier
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 9%)Visage

* Visage's familiars are easy targets to Split Shot.
* Mana Shield will resist Soul Assumption instances without effort.
Anti-Mage
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 11%)Lich
* Anti-Mage can withstand magical burst damage much better than other carries, making him effective against nukers: Lich,
Necrophos,
Oracle, and
Leshrac.
Additional:
* Although he can be effective against Anti-Mage in an aggro offlane, Lich has a hard time nuking down Anti-Mage in the midgame due to his Counterspell.
* All of Lich's abilities are also targeted, which makes it much harder to disable Anti-Mage.
* In the lategame, Anti-Mage can easily pick off Lich with Blink, and the high mana cost of Chain Frost along with Lich's large mana pool makes him vulnerable to
Mana Void.
* Blink allows Anti-Mage to escape Chain Frost.
Dark Seer
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 2%)Lich

Surge or a {Rune:Haste} renders your slows ineffective.

Sniper.
Zeus
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 14%)Lich

* Lich has a low health pool, allowing Zeus to burst him down quickly.
Visage
* Visage can quickly kill heroes with low to medium base armor and no innate escape mechanism. Examples include Alchemist,
Crystal Maiden and
Zeus.
Io
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 4%)Lich
* Lich's Chain Frost forces Io to either give up providing buff to his ally with
Tether or suffer devastating damage with his tethered ally.
* Lich can easily use Sinister Gaze to disable Io from getting away with
Tether or
Relocate.
Visage
* Heroes with both illusions and summons, for Io has nothing to deal with multiple enemies at once outside from Spirit's weak area-of-effect: Broodmother,
Chaos Knight,
Lycan,
Naga Siren,
Nature's Prophet,
Phantom Lancer,
Shadow Shaman,
Terrorblade,
Visage,
Warlock.
Dragon Knight
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 5%)Lich
* Lich's constant slows with Frost Blast and
Chain Frost will slow Dragon Knight to a crawl, especially in a crowded teamfight.
Puck
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 9%)Visage
* Stone Form's long stun duration may prevent Puck from using escape abilities.
* Visage frequently builds Rod of Atos for the root that will make Puck unable to move and use his escape abilities. Alternatively, Visage can also build
Bloodthorn to prevent Puck from using his escape abilities and make him more vulnerable to damage.
Techies
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 10%)Visage
* 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.
Shadow Shaman
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 6%)Visage
* Due to their high attack speed, Summon Familiars will destroy Mass Serpent Wards quickly, granting Visage a massive amount of gold.
* Visage can use Stone Form of the Familiars to cancel Shackles.
Aghanim's Shard upgraded
Stone Form also allows Visage to use
Stone Form himself to cancel Shackles while restoring his health.
* Grave Chill can make Shadow Shaman's bad movement speed and attack speed even worse.
* Visage is also a natural Bloodthorn wielder, which allows him to silence Shadow Shaman and make him more vulnerable to damage.
Additional:
* Due to their high attack speed, Visage's Summon Familiars will destroy Mass Serpent Ward quickly, granting Visage massive amount of gold.
Crystal Maiden
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 13%)Visage
* Grave Chill will make Crystal Maiden's bad movement speed even worse.
* Soul Assumption charges can easily be stacked up from Freezing Field, allowing Visage to nuke enemies multiple times throughout the fight.
* {U:Familiar}'s Stone Form can also be used to interrupt Freezing Field, even while Crystal Maiden is under the effects of
Glimmer Cape. Crystal Maiden must purchase a
Black King Bar, which is far more costly.
Pudge
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 29%)Visage
* Pudge has a very hard time killing Familiars due to his melee range and low attack speed.
* Stone Form can quickly interrupt Dismember.

* Gravekeeper's Cloak greatly absorbs damage from Hookshot.
Troll Warlord
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)Lich
* Frost Blast and
Chain Frost can kite Troll Warlord effectively.
* Frost Shield can single-handedly waste most of the duration of Battle Trance, due to the extreme resistance to physical damage Frost Shield provides. In addition, Troll Warlord is incapable of switching targets during Battle Trance, so he cannot pick an easier target.
* Troll Warlord has little to no ability to regenerate HP, so Frost Blast together with
Frost Shield can harass him effectively.
Nyx Assassin
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 4%)Visage
* Familiars deal many instances of damage quickly, minimizing the effectiveness of Spiked Carapace. They are, however, relatively fragile and can be killed quickly with Nyx Assassin's high burst damage, especially from Vendetta.
* Gravekeeper's Cloak and tanky item builds make him hard to kill with burst damage.
* Visage's long range on Soul Assumption and
Grave Chill make him hard to escape from, and
Soul Assumption's low cooldown outmatches Spiked Carapace.
Elder Titan
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 1%)Lich
* Frost Shield helps offset the armor reduction from Natural Order.
Spectre
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 11%)Visage
* Familiars will be able to chase Spectre through the trees when she uses Spectral Dagger, while Visage can keep blasting her with Soul Assumption.

Lone Druid
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 3%)Lich

Lich,
Lion,
Skywrath Mage

Bane,
Witch Doctor, or

Primal Beast

Ogre Magi,
Winter Wyvern.
Enigma
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 3%)Visage
* Stone Form can easily interrupt heroes with long channeling spells, like Crystal Maiden,
Bane,
Witch Doctor, or
Enigma.
Chen
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 0%)Visage
* Illusion and heroes with summons are difficult to kill with Chen's single-target offensive spells: Terrorblade,
Phantom Lancer,
Chaos Knight,
Broodmother,
Naga Siren,
Lycan,
Visage. And even though Chen can convert enemy summons with Holy Persuasion, their much greater numbers will often overwhelm Chen and his creeps.
Oracle
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 4%)Visage
* Because Oracle uses few, powerful instances of damage to kill enemies, Templar Assassin's
Refraction and
Visage's
Gravekeeper's Cloak can absorb his burst damage.
Undying
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 10%)Visage
* Familiars will easily be able to kite heroes with a short range or with low attack speed. For example, Tiny and

* An Aghanim's Scepter-upgraded

Additional:
* Chain Frost can eliminate Chaos Knight's Phantasm army, especially after he clumped up using
Reality Rift.
* Frost Shield will heavily reduce his army's effectiveness.
Legion Commander
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 13%)Lich
* Heroes with low health will die easily during Duels, and can be farmed for damage in the early game: Crystal Maiden,
Lich,
Techies,

* Chain stuns from Visage's familiars prevents Legion Commander from winning Duels.

* Heroes that can overwhelm Visage by sheer number like Chaos Knight,
Meepo,
Terrorblade and
Phantom Lancer.
Lich

Terrorblade
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 2%)Visage
* Heroes that can overwhelm Visage by sheer number like Chaos Knight,

Enigma,
Chaos Knight,
Phantom Lancer,
Shadow Demon,

Visage
* Nature's Prophet has no innate way to deal with Gravekeeper's Cloak or kill {U:Familiar}s effectively.

* Aghanim's Shard upgraded
Stone Form alow allows Visage himself to stun Nature's Prophet whenever he is trying to use Teleportation.
* Aghanim's Scepter gives Visage
Silent as the Grave ability, which allows him and his {U:Familiar}s to either escape from Nature's Prophet or give him a surprise attack.
Additional:
* Nature's Prophet has no natural method of dealing with Gravekeeper's Cloak and Familiars.
* Familiar's low base attack time can chip away Nature Prophet's health.
* Familiar's Stone Form destroys trees created by Sprout.
* Familiars can scout woods and foggy areas where Nature's Prophet is trying to use Teleportation.
Tiny
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 13%)Visage
* Tiny can deal with Visage's
Gravekeeper's Cloak quickly, as Avalanche deals damage in enough instances to completely remove all 4 layers of the passive. With Visage's lower than average Armor, a well positioned stun can allow Tiny to kill Visage easily.
Additional:
* Tiny's
Avalanche removes a significant number of layers from Gravekeeper's Cloak. When combined with
Toss burns through all of Gravekeeper's Cloak while doing triple times Toss damage to Visage in midair.

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.
