Morphling
* Jakiro's early pushing ability from Liquid Fire makes Jakiro very strong against heroes, that take a long time to get online: 
Morphling, 
Naga Siren, 
Spectre.
Dawnbreaker
* Heroes with channeling spells are very easy targets for Jakiro's abilities: 
Crystal Maiden, 
Dawnbreaker, 
Enigma, 
Pudge, 
Shadow Fiend, 
Shadow Shaman, 
Warlock.
Morphling
* Morphling's high armor is primarily from morphing agility, which is reduced by Natural Order therefore making the hero very vulnerable when it has morphed a lot into agility.
* Morphling usually will Morph into high agility and low strength. This can be taken advantage of with a good stun or silence or by bursting him down before he has the time to Morph back to strength.
* Morphling is very vulnerable to 
Blade Mail under Natural Order and can easily burst himself down with his own auto-attacks or his magical damage combo.
Additional:
* Most of Morphling's armor comes from his high agility and it is reduced by 
Natural Order.
* However, the aura has only 350 range and Elder Titan can be bursted down by Morphling's nuke combo if he isn't careful.
Morphling
* Jumping on Axe with 
Waveform will make Morphling an easy target for a counter-initiation with Berserker's Call.
* Morphling is often played at low health to maximize the bonuses from 
Attribute Shift (Agility Gain), and also because his abilities cost health to use. This makes him especially vulnerable to Culling Blade.
* However, Morphling is a common 
Linken's Sphere carrier to block Culling Blade, which may force Axe to use Battle Hunger to pop the Spell Block first.
* Attribute Shift (Agility Gain) gives Morphling no protection against the pure damage of Culling Blade. Its attack speed bonus also means that Counter Helix will proc more often.
Morphling
* 
Arcane Orb deals pure damage, effectively bypassing Morphling's high armor from Attribute Shift (Agility Gain).
* 
Sanity's Eclipse is more effective against a low health and mana pool Morphling, enabling Outworld Destroyer to burst Morphling down before he can shift to Strength.
Additional:
* Arcane Orb deals high damage regardless of Morphling's high armor from Attribute Shift (Agility Gain).
* Because of Morphling's very low intelligence gain and base intelligence, Sanity's Eclipse will almost always be effective against Morphling.
Morphling
* Light Strike Array catches Morphling while he jumps in from Waveform and also prevents Morphling from using his abilities.
* Laguna Blade can kill Morphling quickly before he shifts into 
Attribute Shift (Strength Gain).
Morphling
* 
Earthbind disables Waveform, effectively keeping Morphling in place for an extended period of time, allowing Meepo to deal considerable damage with 
Poof.
Morphling
* 
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.
Morphling
* 
Arcane Bolt's low cooldown allows him to deal consistent damage to Morphling, and is a viable way to disable Linken's Sphere.
* 
Ancient Seal prevents Morphling from using any of his skills, giving Skywrath Mage and his team ample time to burst Morphling down.
* 
Mystic Flare coupled with a stun/root can easily burst Morphling down, especially if he has more stats shifted to Agility.
* Alternatively, Morphling can use Morph to use Skywrath Mage's own silence and nukes against him.
Morphling
* Void Spirit can greatly pressure Morphling's farm, which is very bad for a hero who needs a large amount of space.
* Waveform does not provide better mobility than Astral Step.
* If Morphling shifted all of his strength to agility, he can be bursted down by Void Spirit before he can react.
* Doing an Ethereal Blade combo on Void Spirit is incredibly difficult, as Dissimilate and Astral Step can allow him to escape or dodge the projectile.
Dawnbreaker
* 
Kinetic Field prevents Dawnbreaker from escaping with Celestial Hammer.
* Kinetic Field and 
Static Storm can pin down Dawnbreaker after she jumps in with Solar Guardian.
* 
Glimpse can force Dawnbreaker out of a fight right after she uses Solar Guardian.
Morphling
* Ice Blast stops Morphling from gaining additional health with 
Attribute Shift.
* Using Attribute Shift would even bring Morphling closer to the shatter threshold.
* In the lane, Ice Vortex slows Morphling's already poor movement speed to a crawl; this, coupled with the amplification of magic damage, can set up an early kill on Morphling if Ancient Apparition has a suitable lane partner.
Additional:
* 
Ice Blast stops Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) from recovering adional health, and using it will even bring Morphling closer to the shatter threshold.
* In lane, 
Ice Vortex slows Morphling's already poor movement speed to a crawl; this, coupled with the amplification of magic damage, can set up an early kill on Morphling if Ancient Apparition has a suitable lane partner.
Morphling
* Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) may not be quick enough to fend off an attacking Drow Ranger.
* Morphling likes to sit on low health with high agility, something Drow Ranger does not particularly care for and will still hit him hard with Marksmanship procs.
* 
Morph is a similar story, none of Drow Ranger's spells are particularly good against her.
Dawnbreaker
* 
Gust can shut down most of Dawnbreaker's abilities, rendering her useless.
* 
Frost Arrows followed by a high attack speed, makes it hard for Dawnbreaker to escape.
Morphling
* Morphling can use Waveform to close the gap between him and Drow Ranger, but should be careful of Gust and Frost Arrows.
* Morphling is a natural Manta Style carrier, which dispels the silence from Gust.
Morphling
* Time Dilation affects Morphling's low cooldown spells, making them unusable for a long time, rendering Morphling nearly useless.
* Morphling cannot use Attribute Shift while he is inside Chronosphere which makes it easy to kill him.
Dawnbreaker
* 
Time Walk can easily avoid Dawnbreaker's abilities or to escape her gank attempts and backtrack any damage she deals.
* 
Time Dilation can prevent Dawnbreaker from using her abilities after initiating, and slowing her down severely.
* 
Time Lock combined with his high attack speed can lock Dawnbreaker in place, preventing her escape with Celestial Hammer.
* 
Chronosphere locks down Dawnbreaker in place right after she uses Solar Guardian.
* On the other hand, if Solar Guardian is cast beforehand from afar, it may discourage Faceless Void from casting Chronosphere in its location
Dawnbreaker
* 
Solar Guardian can heal allies that trapped inside Chronosphere.
Morphling
* Rubick's ability to steal Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) makes him extremely annoying to deal with because Rubick's shifted attributes will remain even if he steals a new spell.
* If Rubick moves enough points to strength and then steals Adaptive Strike, he will have a powerful 3-second ranged stun in his arsenal as well.
* Waveform provides a reliable nuke/escape to Rubick.
* Rubick can steal most abilities Morphling uses while Morphed, allowing Rubick to steal his own allies' abilities if the Morphling is not careful.
Additional:
* Morphling's abilities can grant unrivaled utility for 
Rubick.
* Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) is a great spell that has a longlasting effect, since the attribute change is permanent even after losing the ability. By casting the spell, Rubick becomes significantly tanky after pumping all his agility into strength.
* As the cost of the shift, Rubick's attack speed as well as his armor is hindered. Since the right click damage of Rubick is relatively trival in teamfights, armor items such as 
Medallion of Courage or 
Buckler could greatly increase Rubick's effective health to physical damage.
* Rubick must be careful not to confuse Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) with Attribute Shift (Agility Gain).
* 
Adaptive Strike (Strength) is a long-ranged stun.
* If Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) has been stolen and cast, the spell can stun the enemy for 3 seconds. The stun counters mobile heroes such as Morphling.
* Waveform is a damaging pseudo-blink, giving Rubick much needed mobility and farming potential.
Morphling
* 
Counterspell's bonus magic resistance causes the Waveform and Adaptive Strike combo to deal significantly less damage.
* Counterspell's active component can reflect the Adaptive Strike back into Morphling, dealing significant damage or even killing him.
* 
Mana Break combined with 
Manta Style can quickly burn away Morphling's mana, leaving him unable to use his spells. 
Black King Bar can no longer be reliably used against Anti mage due to its 50 mana cost.
Morphling
* 
Sharpshooter can kill easy when Morphling is going on full agility strategy (Only in early and mid game).
* 
Scurry can help to catch up Morphling when using Waveform or for escape.
Morphling
* 
Sacred Arrow's long stun duration can prevent Morphling from casting his Waveform or Morph Replicate, making him unable to escape and easier to gank.
* 
Moonlight Shadow also allows Mirana's team to surprise Morphling while he tries to push towers.
* Mirana usually buys Linken's Sphere to protect herself from single-target abilities, making Morphling's Adaptive Strike and 
Ethereal Blade harder to use on her.
* However, Mirana also provides a chance to become a good Morph target, allowing Morph to use 
Leap to run away, if necessary.
Morphling
* Morphling usually has low max health due to shifting strength into agility, which combined with Blast Off's silence will prevent him from using Waveform and Adaptive Strike (Strength), leaving him defenseless and making him an easy target to burst down.
Morphling
* 
Winter Wyvern's 
Winter's Curse turns Morphling's high attack damage and attack speed against his targeted teammate.
Morphling
* Heroes who just want to farm and avoid Lone Druid early will find it very hard to do so when he starts knocking on towers: 
Templar Assassin, 
Phantom Assassin, 
Ember Spirit, Morphling.
Dawnbreaker
* Savage Roar interrupts 
Starbreaker.
* Dawnbreaker is a slow moving hero. Although tanky, Lone Druid can eventually wear her down with his better movement speed.
Morphling
* Morphling can ignore Spirit Bear and shorten the distance to Lone Druid with Waveform.
* Morphling can use his nukes to burst Lone Druid down, provided he is not rooted/disabled by Spirit Bear beforehand.
Morphling
* Heroes that rely on right-clicks will find that their attacks will miss a lot, due to Whirling Axes (Melee)'s miss chance. Such heroes include Phantom Assassin, 
Terrorblade, and Morphling.
Morphling
* Heroes with silencing abilities that are not blocked by Linken's Sphere, like 
Puck's 
Waning Rift, 
Death Prophet's 
Silence or 
Silencer's 
Global Silence.
Morphling
* 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.
Dawnbreaker
* Luna can easily cancel channeling spells with 
Lucent Beam and 0.25s Eclipse Lucent Ministun talent for 
Eclipse, she can also buy 
Abyssal Blade in case they decide to buy Black King Bar: Enigma's 
Black Hole, 
Witch Doctor's 
Death Ward, Shadow Shaman's 
Shackles, 
Lion's 
Mana Drain, 
Bane's 
Fiend's Grip, Pudge's 
Dismember, Crystal Maiden's 
Freezing Field, 
Pugna's 
Life Drain, Dawnbreaker's Solar Guardian, and Naga Siren's 
Reel In from 
Aghanim's Scepter.
Morphling
* 
Necrophos's 
Reaper's Scythe can finish off a low-health Morphling.
Dawnbreaker
* Due to her slow movement speed,heroes with crowd control and slows can shut down Dawnbreaker:Lion, Crystal Maiden ,
Venomancer etc.
Morphling
* Heroes with silencing abilities that are not blocked by Linken's Sphere, like Puck's Waning Rift, Death Prophet's Silence or Silencer's Global Silence.
Dawnbreaker
* Due to her slow movement speed,heroes with crowd control and slows can shut down Dawnbreaker:Lion, Crystal Maiden ,Venomancer etc.
Morphling
* Arc Warden can counter Morphling's strong pushing capabilities by using 
Magnetic Field to protect buildings.
* Arc Warden also often builds an 
Orchid Malevolence or 
Bloodthorn, which can prove dangerous for Morphling.
* Arc Warden can easily break Linken's Sphere with 
Flux and then slow him with 
Spark Wraith, making Arc Warden's 
Tempest Double a legitimate threat as well.
Morphling
* Heroes with good escape mechanisms are a nuisance to deal with in the early phase of the game: 
Slark, 
Lifestealer, Morphling
Morphling
* While Morphling can burst her down with 
Adaptive Strike (Agility), Death Prophet does have tools to disrupt him. A Morphling affected by Silence makes it unable to use Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) to increase its health pool or use Waveform to escape.
Morphling
* Heroes that can kill Death Prophet with nukes can prevent her from using Exorcism to its full duration or using it at all: 
Lina, Lion, Puck, Morphling.
Dawnbreaker
* 
Spiked Carapace can stop Dawnbreaker's Solar Guardian which will eliminate her global presence and limits her movement around the map.
Additional:
* Spiked Carapace interrupts Starbreaker before Dawnbreaker has her Aghanim's Shard, as well as Solar Guardian during the initial channel, making her ineffective at joining and dealing damage in teamfights.
* The slow projectile and damage over time effect of 
Celestial Hammer makes it easy to stun Dawnbreaker if she attemps to engage or chase.
Dawnbreaker
* Heroes who rely on damage over time as Spiked Carapace can block and reflect only one instance of damage: 
Jakiro, 
Viper, Venomancer, 
Huskar, Ember Spirit, 
Dark Seer, Sand King, 
Doom, Dawnbreaker. However, this also means they are easily stunned.
Morphling
* Phantom Lancer can effortlessly overwhelm Morphling with a large number of illusions. It becomes even more effective with {Item ID:Diffusal Blade}, which takes away his mana in the process.
* 
Doppelganger can be used to dodge Adaptive Strike combo and create confusion with two additional illusions.
* 
Eye of Skadi can be bought to slow and negate the health regeneration from Attribute Shift, and a common item for Phantom Lancer.
Dawnbreaker
* Heroes with summoned units don't fare well against Dawnbreaker. (
Phantom Lancer ,
Beastmaster ,
Lycan).
Morphling
* Waveform clear Mirror Image illusions from Naga Siren. And though 
Ensnare can prevent Morphling from using Waveform to escape, he can easily dispel it with Manta Style, a common item on Morphling.
* Morph allows Morphling to copy Naga Siren's abilities and combine them with Manta Style, a commong item for Morphling, to destroy Naga Siren's illusions. Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Morph also allows Morphling to create a strong illusion of Naga Siren that can do the same and which can also allow Morphling to close the gap on Naga Siren.
Dawnbreaker
* Dawnbreaker can easily clear waves of Naga Siren's illusions from 
Mirror Image with Starbreaker, Celestial Hammer and Solar Guardian.
* 
Aghanim's Shard upgraded Starbreaker will allow Dawnbreaker to dispel Ensnare and freely attack Naga Siren during 
Song of the Siren when combined with Black King Bar, a common item on Dawnbreaker.
* Solar Guardian allows Dawnbreaker to counter any attempts of Naga Siren and rejoin her team with Solar Guardian when they require it. Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Solar Guardian can also give Dawnbreaker's allies evasion while Dawnbreaker is airborne for it's duration, as Naga Siren mainly relies on direct attacks in order to deal damage.
Additional:
* Dawnbreaker can easily clear waves of Naga Siren's illusions from Mirror Image with Starbreaker, Celestial Hammer and Solar Guardian.
* Aghanim's Shard upgraded Starbreaker will allow Dawnbreaker to dispel Ensnare and freely attack Naga Siren during Song of the Siren when combined with Black King Bar, a common item on Dawnbreaker.
* Solar Guardian allows Dawnbreaker to counter any pushing attempts of Naga Siren and rejoin her team with Solar Guardian when they require it. Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Solar Guardian can also give Dawnbreaker's allies evasion while Dawnbreaker is airborne for it's duration, as Naga Siren mainly relies on direct attacks in order to deal damage. Solar Guardian can also be used after Naga Siren uses Song of the Siren near her allies to either escape from or counter-initiate against them.
Morphling
* Morph allows Morphling to copy abilities of Spirit Breaker and combine them with Waveform to turn things around. Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Morph also allows Morphling to create a strong illusion of Spirit Breaker that can cast all of his basic abilities. This allows Morphling to give Spirit Breaker a taste of his own medicine.
* Spirit Breaker's low attack speed and lack of burst damage makes it unlikely for him to win against Morphling when he has Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) toggled on.
Dawnbreaker
* Solar Guardian can save an ally getting targeted and focused by Spirit Breaker.
Morphling
* Morphling's naturally high armor thanks to his high agility makes it hard for Phantom Assassin to take him down with 
Coup de Grace.
Dawnbreaker
* Heroes capable of perofrming interceptions who can anticipate and counter-initiate after Phantom Assassin blinks on them with Phantom Strike will often kill her than the other way around: 
Axe, Bane, Dawnbreaker, 
Centaur Warrunner, 
Luna, 
Medusa, 
Omniknight, Pudge, 
Razor, Terrorblade, 
Underlord.
Morphling
* Heroes with Linken's Sphere as core item: 
Weaver, Morphling, Medusa.
Dawnbreaker
* Heroes with summoned units don't fare well against Dawnbreaker. (Phantom Lancer ,Beastmaster ,Lycan).
Dawnbreaker
* Starbreaker can deal huge damage to Chen and clear waves of his creeps.
* Celestial Hammer can deal damage over time to both, Chen and his creeps, which may force Chen to use 
Hand of God prematurely.
* Solar Guardian allows Dawnbreaker to counter Chen's pushing attempts and to rejoin her team with Solar Guardian when they require it. Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Solar Guardian can also give Dawnbreaker's allies evasion while Dawnbreaker is airborne for it's duration, wasting much of 
Penitence's power.

Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Solar Guardian can also give Dawnbreaker's allies evasion while Dawnbreaker is airborne for it's duration, wasting much of Penitence's power.
Dawnbreaker
* Dawnbreaker can use Solar Guardian to help her team against Muerta whenever they are in distress against her, especially when trapped in the radius of the 
The Calling. Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Solar Guardian can also give Dawnbreaker's allies evasion against Muerta's attacks from 
Gunslinger while Dawnbreaker is airborne for it's duration.
* Solar Guardian and Starbreaker can disable Muerta even through both, 
Pierce the Veil and Black King Bar, though Starbreaker will not deal any damage to Muerta as it's damage output is physical instead of magical.
* Celestial Hammer and Solar Guardian deal magical damage which allows Dawnbreaker to fightback against Muerta whenever she has Pierce the Veil. Dawnbreaker can also buy 
Revenant's Brooch to attack Muerta through Pierce the Veil with Starbreaker.
* Dawnbreaker is also common Black King Bar wielder which allows her to protect herself against Muerta's abilities. Aghanim's Shard upgraded Starbreaker can also give Dawnbreaker debuff immunity against Muerta's abilities.
Dawnbreaker
* Solar Guardian can save allies caught inside 
Arena of Blood.
Dawnbreaker
* Starbreaker and Celestial Hammer does high AoE damage which easily clears {U:Treant}, shutting down most of Nature's Prophets damage and pushing power.
* Dawnbreaker can teleport to deal with split-pushing Nature's Prophet and rejoin her team with Solar Guardian when they require it.
* Since Starbreaker clears trees in its path followed by a stun at the end Nature's Prophet will be unable to escape the dangerous situation by using 
Sprout on himself and teleporting away with either 
Teleportation or 
Town Portal Scroll.

Morphling
* Morphling's high mobility allows him to easily get close to Sniper, who likes to keep his distance from enemies.
Dawnbreaker
* Spectre has no innate disables or silence to stop any of Dawnbreaker's abilities
* Solar Guardian allows Dawnbreaker to quickly stand next to one of her allies, denying Spectre any of 
Desolate's bonus.
* Luminosity outheals the damage dealt by 
Dispersion.
Additional:
* Spectre has no innate disables or silence to stop any of Dawnbreaker's abilities
* Solar Guardian allows Dawnbreaker to quickly stand next to one of her allies, denying Spectre any of Desolate's bonus
* Luminosity outheals the damage dealt by Dispersion
Morphling
* Morphling can break 
Static Link with Waveform. Alternatively, Morphling can Morph into Razor and use the same ability against him.
* Morphling's high armor makes 
Eye Of The Storm mostly ineffective, enabling Morphling to fight Razor for longer.
* Razor has no disables, enabling Morphling to avoid his abilities as needed.
Additional:
* Static Link is almost completely useless against Morphling, as he is able to quickly break it off with Waveform or turn into Razor himself with Morph and recover all of his stolen damage, or simply steal Razor's own.
Morphling
* Morphling can Attribute Shift to strength after being hit by Maledict. Since Maledict deals its damage based on the difference between HP on cast and HP after two seconds, odds are Morphling will have more HP than when Maledict was cast, thus resulting in no damage.
* On the upside, players prone to panicked reactions may Morph to agility, making Maledict even more efficient than intended.
* Adaptive Strike (Strength) can interrupt Death Ward at a decent range.
Morphling
* All abilities for Morphling can easily escape fear 
Focus Fire.
* Windranger weakness for agility can easily Morphling destroy against her.
Additional:
* Waveform can be used to escape from the reach of Focus Fire and to dodge 
Powershot.
* Adaptive Strike (Strength) can be used to stun Windranger even while 
Windrun is active.
* Morph is useful to morph into Windranger to copy her abilities.
Morphling
* Waveform allows Morphling to easily escape Power Cogs.
* Clockwerk's lack of burst damage makes it nearly impossible for him to kill a Morphling using Attribute Shift (Strength Gain).
Additional:
* Morphling can escape from 
Power Cogs with Waveform.
* Even if Morphling is trapped in Power Cogs, Morphling can use Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) to survive the duration.
Morphling
* By using Morph, Morphling can use Burning Barrage and Searing Arrows to counter Clinkz himself.
* Waveform can allow Morphling to easily chase down Clinkz.
* Clinkz's low health pool also makes him vulnerable to Morphling's magical nukes, especially his Ethereal Blade and 
Adaptive Strike combo.
Morphling
* Waveform ignores Rupture's damage, letting Morphling escape unharmed.
* Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) makes it very hard for Bloodseeker to kill Morphling or gain his Thirst bonuses, since Morphling can use it to sustain damage while trading attacks when Ruptured.
* Morphling usually builds Linken's Sphere, which blocks Rupture.
Additional:
* Morphling can escape from 
Rupture using Waveform.
* Morphling is a typical Manta Style carrier, which can be used to dispel the silence from 
Blood Rite.
Dawnbreaker
* Solar Guardian can save allies who are being dueled and will interrupt her 
Duel initiation.
Morphling
* Waveform allows Morphling to escape from Mass Serpent Ward
* Morphling can interrupt Shadow Shaman while he is shackling an ally with Adaptive Strike (Strength).
* With Ethereal Blade Morphling can quickly burst him down before he even has a chance to react.
Morphling
* Heroes with high base damage (Morphling, 
Tiny, 
Drow Ranger), heroes with mana burning abilities (Anti-Mage), and 
Diffusal Blade users (
Juggernaut or Riki) will suffer from Reflection's illusions.
Morphling
* 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.
Dawnbreaker
* Heroes who have channeling abilities because Terrorblade has no disables to cancel them at all besides 
Terror Wave from Aghanim's Scepter, and he does not like buying disabling items at all: Enigma's Black Hole, Witch Doctor's Death Ward, Shadow Shaman's Shackles, Lion's Mana Drain, Bane's Fiend's Grip, Pudge's Dismember, Crystal Maiden's Freezing Field, Pugna's Life Drain, Dawnbreaker's Solar Guardian, and Naga Siren's Reel In from Aghanim's Scepter.
Morphling
* Heroes who often build Linken's Sphere: Weaver, Morphling, Medusa.
Morphling
* Heroes with mobility spells can quickly escape from Stroke of Fate or break out of Soulbind: Anti-Mage, Queen of Pain, Morphling, 
Storm Spirit
Dawnbreaker
* 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.
Morphling
* Heroes with high mobility will be able to avoid Gyrocopter's area attacks: Storm Spirit, Morphling, Ember Spirit
Dawnbreaker
* Heroes with summoned units don't fare well against Dawnbreaker. (Phantom Lancer ,Beastmaster ,Lycan).
Dawnbreaker
* Heroes with channeling spells because Shadow Fiend has nothing to cancel channeling outside of Requiem of Souls: Bane, Enigma, Pudge, Shadow Shaman, Dawnbreaker, Warlock, Crystal Maiden.
Dawnbreaker
* Heroes whose abilities can affect multiple enemies at once: Dawnbreaker, Ember Spirit, Lina, Luna, Jakiro, 
Leshrac, Invoker, 
Muerta, 
Dazzle.
Dawnbreaker
* 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.
Morphling
* Heroes who can take advantage of God's Strength being on cooldown are also not great matchups, such as Templar Assassin, Morphling and Huskar.
Dawnbreaker
* 
Nethertoxin disables Dawnbreaker's 
Luminosity. Since she's a melee hero, she needs to close gap to attack and Nethertoxin will be bad for her since she cannot heal.
* 
Viper Strike and 
Poison Attack will severely slow her down and combined with Nethertoxin, it will be her death sentence (unless her Celestial Hammer or Solar Guardian are off cooldown). Besides that, chasing her down will be easy due to the slow.
Morphling
* Viper has no disable, which means he has no way of preventing Morphling from escaping from any of his abilities or keep him inside Nethertoxin.
* Viper is almost exclusively damage over time, which is weak against Morphling due to Attribute Shift (Strength Gain). Additionally, Morphling has no passive abilities, reducing Nethertoxin's effectiveness against him even further.
* Morphling can turn into Viper himself, allowing him to use any of Viper's abilities against him (excluding Viper Strike). This is particularly bad due to the fact that Viper is already a very slow hero, making Poison Attack and 
Corrosive Skin's slows especially difficult to deal with.
Morphling
* Low-health, normally mobile carries who rely entirely on raw attack damage are vulnerable to Bane's nukes and disables: Anti-Mage, 
Clinkz, Drow Ranger, Faceless Void, 
Gyrocopter, Juggernaut, 
Meepo, Mirana, Monkey King, Morphling, Phantom Assassin, Phantom Lancer, Riki, Shadow Fiend, Slark, 
Sniper, Terrorblade, 
Troll Warlord, Weaver.
Morphling
* Heroes who commonly buy Linken's Sphere: Luna, Weaver, Morphling, Queen of Pain, Ember Spirit.
Dawnbreaker
* Being a strength hero with a high strength gain means 
Feast can give her a hard time,especially later in the game.
* However,Starbreaker's physical damage can control him in the laning phase.
Morphling
* Lifestealer is a great target for Morphling to use Morph, as he can use 
Rage to gain spell immunity and a movement speed boost.
* Morphling's high armor also makes Lifestealer's attacks do less damage.
Morphling
* Underlord's 
Atrophy Aura reduces Morphling's high base damage gained through agility shift.
Dawnbreaker
* Heroes with strong area-of-effect damaging and/or disabling abilities will be able to intercept Underlord and his team when they exit from Fiend's Gate: Luna's Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Eclipse, Dawnbreaker's Solar Guardian, Axe's 
Berserker's Call, Mars's Arena of Blood, Jakiro's 
Macropyre,
