Treant Protector
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 16%)Mirana

Hoodwink
* Due to Hoodwink's low health and Zeus's high magic damage from Arc Lightning,

Storm Spirit
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 6%)Mirana
* Heroes that have superior mobility that can easily catch up with Mirana even after she used Leap to escape: Anti-Mage,
Queen of Pain,
Storm Spirit,
Riki.
Hoodwink
* Storm Spirit can easily make his way to Hoodwink with his ultimate Ball lightning, and coupled with Hoodwink's low health and magic resistance, she can be nuked easily.

Lycan
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 57% pickrate: 3%)Mirana

Broodmother
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 3%)Mirana
* Though Mirana can clear waves of Broodmother's spiderlings with Starstorm, Broodmother will often stick with her spiderlings from
Spawn Spiderlings, which in combination with the huge speed provided by
Spin Web can make it hard for Mirana to hit her with
Sacred Arrow.

Bloodthorn, which allows her to prevent Mirana from escaping with both,
Leap and
Moonlight Shadow and from fighting back with
Starstorm.

[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 5%)Mirana
* Arc Warden can use his summons to prevent Sacred Arrow from hitting himself or his allies.

Night Stalker
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 4%)Mirana

Vendetta to position himself in such a way to screen allies from Sharpshooter and catch Hoodwink by surprise.
Luna
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 2%)Mirana
* Even though Luna is the kind of hero that Mirana can handle due to Moonlight Shadow rendering her safe from
Eclipse with
Moonlight Shadow, smart Luna can buy
Dust of Appearance, allowing her to provide vision on her to her team, and possibly, kill Mirana.
* Luna's high movement speed allows her to evade Sacred Arrow, giving Mirana difficulties in hitting her with it.
* Aghanim's Scepter upgraded
Eclipse combined with

Centaur Warrunner,
Windranger,
Phantom Assassin,
Hoodwink etc.
Mirana
* A couple of long-range heroes with excellent laning like Mirana,
Lina,
Necrophos,
Death Prophet. The key to success is sticking together and attacking Luna whenever she enters the range, without even giving Luna a chance to retaliate. Multiple long-range heroes is a reason to pick another hero.

[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)Hoodwink

Timbersaw
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 5%)Hoodwink
* Timbersaw’s reliance on nearby trees means he’ll usually be close to Hoodwink.

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.
