Nature's Prophet
* Clockwerk's long range initiation and catch makes it incredibly difficult for Nature's Prophet to split push and show on the map alone.
* 
Rocket Flare can be used to scout Nature's Prophet if he is hiding in the forest, and can provide vision inside of Sprout.
Centaur Warrunner
* 
Battery Assault easily interrupts Centaur Warrunner due to his poor cast animation.
* 
Power Cogs can negate Stampede.
Nature's Prophet
* Similarly, heroes with low cooldown teleports can be afraid to split push against X Marks the Spot, such as 
Tinker and 
Nature's Prophet.
* In general, highly mobile heroes like 
Earth Spirit or 
Storm Spirit are at a disadvantage against X Marks the Spot.
* Similarly, heroes with low cooldown teleports can be afraid to split push against X Marks the Spot, such as Tinker and Nature's Prophet.
Centaur Warrunner
* 
X Marks the Spot negates Stampede.
Nature's Prophet
* 
Moon Glaives and 
Lunar Blessing help Luna quickly kill Nature's Prophet's treants.
* Luna can easily cancel Teleportation with her 
Lucent Beam.
* Even though Nature's Prophet can evade all of Luna's abilities with 
Shadow Blade, a smart Luna will always buy 
Dust of Appearance to provide vision on Shadow Fiend to her and her team.
Additional:
* Moon Glaives and Lunar Blessing help Luna quickly kill Nature's Prophet's treants. 
Aghanim's Shard upgraded Moon Glaives can also reduce damage Nature's Prophet will inflict on Luna while they are active.

* Even though Nature's Prophet can evade all of Luna's abilities with Shadow Blade, a smart Luna will always buy Dust of Appearance to provide vision on Nature's Prophet to her and her team.
Centaur Warrunner
* Luna's Moon Glaives will not trigger 
Retaliate if they hit some other target first. Also Luna commonly buys items that provide lifesteal such as 
Satanic, which lets her heal from the damage of Retaliate, meaning that Retaliate has little effect against her.
* 
Eclipse can be used to counter-initiate against Centaur Warrunner after he jumps in with 
Blink Dagger, and initiates with 
Hoof Stomp. But remember that Centaur Warrunner can resolve this problem by buying 
Hood of Defiance and it's upgrade 
Pipe of Insight to diminish its damage. Or 
Blade Mail to reflect the damage of the Eclipse back at Luna.
* Luna also commonly buys 
Black King Bar, which will allow her to protect herself from both, Centaur Warrunner's abilities (except for the Retaliate), and damage reflect from Blade Mail.

Spectre, 
Shadow Demon, 
Phantom Lancer, 
Naga Siren, 
Chaos Knight, 
Terrorblade) or bring other units into the fight (such as Nature's Prophet, 
Lone Druid, 
Chen, 
Enchantress, 
Meepo and 
Arc Warden) can cause Eclipse to strike the illusions/summons unintentionally. However, in many cases Moon Glaives can resolve this issue and eliminate them before activating Eclipse, but that will require lots of farming for right-click items.
Nature's Prophet
* 
Broodmother, Nature's Prophet, Phantom Lancer by their nature offer very good target for Splinter Blast and Winter's Curse.
Centaur Warrunner
* 
Winter Wyvern's 
Arctic Burn can also be a useful tool against Centaur, who generally has very high health. 
Winter's Curse on Centaur can cause Retaliate to damage allies who are forced to attack him.
Nature's Prophet
* Tinker has great map presence because of 
Keen Conveyance and 
Rearm, which means he can always teleport and defend towers whenever Nature's Prophet tries to push.
* 
Laser prevents Nature's Prophet from attacking. Additionally, even with 
Monkey King Bar, Nature's Prophet cannot hit towers and buildings during the effect.
Nature's Prophet
* 
Firestorm makes quick work of Treants and 
Atrophy Aura gives him temporary damage for every Treant killed.
* 
Pit of Malice can stop Teleportation channeling.
* Atrophy Aura greatly reduces Nature's Prophet's damage and he has no other good way to deal damage.
* 
Fiend's Gate can counter split-pushing, which is something that Nature's Prophet relies on a lot. Fiend's Gate can also be used to either escape from Nature's Prophet or to prepare an ambush on Nature's Prophet, and outside from Nature's Wrath, Nature's Prophet has no other ways to intercept arrivals with Fiend's Gate.
Nature's Prophet
* 
Astral Spirit can give Elder Titan a lot of damage and movement speed if Nature's Prophet sends all of his Treants together.
* Not only does 
Echo Stomp prevent Nature's Prophet from escaping using Teleportation, but Astral Spirit can be used to bypass Sprout and cancel Teleportation with it's own Echo Stomp from long distances.
* 
Earth Splitter can clear Nature's Prophet's Treants effectively.
Nature's Prophet
* Berserker's Call and Counter Helix will still hit targets inside of a defensive 
Sprout.
* Counter Helix clears treants in no time.
* Nature's Prophet's low damage is unlikely to hurt Axe until the very late game.
* Nature's Prophet's low mobility makes him very easy for Axe to chase down or initiate, especially when affected by Battle Hunger.
Nature's Prophet
* Once caught in Bear's Entangle, Nature's Prophet cannot escape with 
Teleportation.
Nature's Prophet
* Ember Spirit can easily deal with 
Nature's Call by using his Flame Guard and with 
Battle Fury. He also has multiple ways of escaping Sprout. Additionally, Ember Spirit can break Sprout's trees with Activate Fire Remnant and interrupt Teleportation with Searing Chains.
Additional:
* 
Sleight of Fist with Battle Fury deals a lot of damage to Nature's Prophet's team if they stand close to his Treants, as well as killing all the Treants with ease.

Fire Remnant and 
Boots of Travel can be very active around the map, which enables him to quickly teleport and defend the objective Nature's Prophet is attacking whenever he tries to push.
Nature's Prophet
* Shadow Shaman's 
Mass Serpent Ward together with 
Ether Shock can easily kill lots of Treants if played defensively.
* 
Hex and 
Shackles can disrupt Nature's Prophet's escape attempts with Teleportation.
Additional:

* Mass Serpent Ward, Hex, and Shackles can catch and kill a Nature's Prophet trying to use Teleportation.
Nature's Prophet
* Sprout cannot protect Nature's Prophet if Broodmother puts down a web.
* Nature's Prophet's low mobility means he is defenseless against Silken Bola.
* Spiderlings can absorb much of the damage from 
Wrath of Nature.
* 
Aghanim's Scepter gives Broodmother access to 
Spinner's Snare, which allows her to create invisible lines on her webs from 
Spin Web that will root Nature's Prophet, deal damage over time to Nature's Prophet and reveal Nature's Prophet if he unwittingly steps on them, disrupting his attempts to perform surprise attacks on Broodmother's allies with 
Silver Edge and also prevent him from using Silver Edge to esacape, while also alerting Broodmother on his attempts to ambush her and her allies.
Additional:
* Broodmother can destroy Nature's Prophet's Treants with 
Spawn Spiderlings and summon spiderlings in their place.

* With Caustic Finale, Sand King can easily kill the treants from Nature's Call.
* Burrowstrike allows Sand King to prevent Nature's Prophet from using Teleportation inside of his Sprout.
Nature's Prophet
* Nature's Prophet is often by himself. Clinkz can use invisibility to hunt him down and kill him, although a Quelling Blade may be needed to cut through his Sprout. Orchid Malevolence may also be needed if 3-4 seconds are not enough time to kill him, as he can teleport away.
* Clinkz can match Nature's Prophet's ability to split push.
Nature's Prophet
* Sprout can't stop her to Rebound.
* Treants can be used as targets for Rebound and Dispose as well.
Nature's Prophet
* Treants increase Echo Slam's damage.
* Earthshaker's AoE stuns can hit Nature's Prophet through Sprout, without having direct line of sight, in order to interrupt Teleportation.

Centaur Warrunner
* 
Kinetic Field and 
Glimpse can completely negate Stampede.
Nature's Prophet
* Jakiro's skill arsenal can ruin Nature's Prophet's gameplay: Dual Breath and Liquid Fire can clear treants from Nature's Call while simultaneously slowing Nature's Prophet, Ice Path can disrupt Nature's Prophet's escaping attempt with Teleportation, and Macropyre can easily clear treants from Nature's Call.
* Jakiro is a common 
Hurricane Pike wielder, which allows him to escape from Sprout.
Additional:
* Jakiro's 
Macropyre can help him to escape from Sprout and quickly clears Treants.
* Jakiro can disrupt Nature's Prophet's escape attempt with Sprout and Teleportation by using 
Ice Path.
Nature's Prophet
* 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.
Additional:

Nature's Prophet
* Sprout gets destroyed by Trample and Onslaught.
Nature's Prophet
* Shadow Fiend can easily farm his treants and get easy Necromastery Stacks.
* If Shadow Fiend buys Boots of Travel and Shadow Blade, he can counteract Nature's Prophet's split-push.
Nature's Prophet
* All three of Timbersaw’s abilities give him an easy way out of Sprout, and can also destroy nearby trees so Nature's Prophet can’t spawn Treants.
* If Prophet tries to escape with a self Sprout/Teleport, Timbersaw can easily cut down all its trees to get to him and deal increased 
Whirling Death damage as well.
* 
Chakram heavily discourages teleports.
* Timbersaw is quite well suited to clearing massive waves of Treants almost instantly with all of his area of effect pure damage abilities, preventing Nature's Prophet from pushing.
* Treants can give Reactive Armor many charges quite quickly.
Additional:
* Timbersaw can easily cut down trees from Sprout, making it very difficult for Nature's Prophet to teleport away or trap enemies.
* Timbersaw's abilities quickly clear out treants.
* 
Reactive Armor negates most of the damage of Nature's Prophet's treants, and Timbersaw can often allow himself to be attacked in order to heal himself.
Centaur Warrunner
* With high health and rarely buying 
Linken's Sphere or Black King Bar, Centaur Warrunner is a good target for 
Reaper's Scythe. However, Centaur Warrunner can resolve this problem by buying Hood of Defiance and it's upgrade Pipe of Insight to diminish its damage.
* 
Heartstopper Aura will do well against high health heroes such as Centaur Warrunner.

* 
Ball Lightning can be used to clear Nature's Prophet's Treants and easily destroys Sprout.
* 
Electric Vortex prevents Nature's Prophet's escaping using Teleportation.

Nature's Prophet
* 
Shadow Step's low cooldown allows Spectre to teleport to him whenever he decides to push.
* 
Spectral Dagger allows Spectre to go through Sprout's trees and stun Nature's Prophet if she has a 
Skull Basher or 
Abyssal Blade.
* Spectre loves buying 
Radiance, which can kill Nature's Prophet's Treants easily.
Additional:
* Spectre can get to him anywhere on the map with 
Haunt.
* Spectre can pass through his trees with Spectral Dagger.
* 
Desolate's damage will melt him quickly, as he's alone most of the time.
Centaur Warrunner
* Centaur has nothing to deal with 
Refraction that will negate all of his burst damage.
* 
Psionic Traps provide good vision, making for him harder to initiate.
Nature's Prophet

Dead Shot.
* 
Gunslinger will quickly dispatch of the Treants from Nature's Call.

Slardar, Spectre, 
Zeus, 
Spirit Breaker.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes that rely on summons will suffer against Ion Shell, which kills them very quickly: 
Beastmaster, Broodmother, 
Enigma, Nature's Prophet, 
Visage, 
Warlock, 
Wraith King.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes with summons and illusions can find themselves easily bested by Lina, like Broodmother, Nature's Prophet, Chen, Terrorblade, Naga Siren, Visage, Wraith King,

* Lina can easily prevent Nature's Prophet's Teleportation escape attempts with 
Light Strike Array, and can clear Sprout's trees instantly.
* Lina's 
Dragon Slave and Light Strike Array can kill Nature's Prophet's Treants.
Nature's Prophet
* Nature's Prophet is heavily countered by Meepo, not only Meepo can kill the treants with a single Poof, but he can also stop Nature's Prophet from using Teleportation, and can gain vision inside Sprout.
Additional:
* Meepo can net Nature's Prophet's treants with 
Earthbind and then 
Poof them, putting an end to his pushing.
* Skilled Meepos can rival and even exceed Nature's Prophet's global presence by combining Poof with Boots of Travel, meaning that he can not only stop his push, but also can kill him if he is not careful.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes who summon multiple units that are not spell immune. Nature's Prophet,Lycan,Beastmaster
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes who produce many summons will have a hard time against Storm's Dispel Magic during teamfight: Broodmother, Enigma, Nature's Prophet.
Nature's Prophet
* Most summons and illusions can barely hurt Tidehunter at all, after their attacks get reduced by Anchor Smash and blocked by Kraken Shell: Nature's Prophet, Enigma
* Also Ravage's large area of effect and damage can easily damage all those units at once, or just straight up clear them.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes with invisibility: (
Riki, 
Clinkz, 
Nyx Assassin.
Nature's Prophet
* Pounce also stops Nature's Prophet's Teleportation.

* Heroes that have AoE damage: 
Lina, Keeper of the Light, 
Timbersaw, 
Leshrac, 
Bristleback, 
Axe.
Centaur Warrunner
* 
Feast is an effective tool against Centaur Warrunner, who generally has high health and low armor, and compensates the reflected damage of Retaliate.
* If activated, 
Rage can protect Lifestealer from Hoof Stomp, Double Edge, and Stampede.
Additional:
* Centaur Warrunner's active abilities cannot pierce magic immunity. Hoof Stomp's slow wind up can also be anticipated and negated with Rage.
* Lifestealer can offset Retaliate's damage return simply with Feast. Centaur's high strength gain and therefore big health pool makes him an ideal target to Feast on, especially in the late-game.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes with summons: Lycan, Broodmother, Visage, Nature's Prophet, Warlock.
Nature's Prophet
* Acid Spray and Greevil's Greed will quickly destroy pushes with treants.

Additional:
* Charge of Darkness allows Spirit Breaker to catch Nature's Prophet out when he tries to split push.
* Nature's Prophet can't hide in his Sprout against Spirit Breaker, as his Charge of Darkness provides vision on its target.
* Spirit Breaker can easily cancel Nature's Prophet's Teleportation.

Time Walk can get out to Sprout.
* 
Chronosphere will interupt his Teleportation and Faceless Void's can attack kill him within Chronosphere.
Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes that can stop Faceless Void from leaping around the fight and controlling its outcome are very strong against him. Heroes such as: Axe, 
Centaur Warrunner, 
Doom...
Nature's Prophet
* Naga Siren is a natural split-pusher. With Rip Tide, she will easily out-push Nature's Prophet, farming his treants in the process.
* 
Ensnare prevents Teleportation. Even if he hides inside Sprout, Song of the Siren lasts long enough to prevent him from escaping.
Additional:
* Naga Siren is a natural split-pusher. With a Radiance equipped, she will easily keep the lanes pushed out, therefore keeping backdoor protection enabled and preventing Nature's Prophet from dealing building damage.
* Ensnare can prevent Teleportation. Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Ensnare can also affect Nature's Prophet even if he is spell immune. And 
Reel In from Aghanim's Scepter can also be used to separate Nature's Prophet from his treant and bring him close to Naga Siren and her team to burst him down.
* 
Song of the Siren will stop Nature's Prophet from escaping even if he has hidden inside of Sprout. Aghanim's Shard upgraded Song of the Siren can also heal her allies and save them from Nature's Prophet.
Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes who are reliant on illusions: Chaos Knight, Phantom Lancer, Naga Siren.
Additional:
* Centaur's Retaliate will harm all attacking enemies, which will allow Centaur Warrunner to see which is the real Naga Siren.
* A well timed Hoof Stomp followed by 
Double Edge will clear all Naga's illusions and prevent Naga Siren from escaping with Song of the Siren.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes with high mobility can approach Sniper: Anti-Mage, Earth Spirit, 
Io, Nature's Prophet, 
Pangolier, 
Puck, 
Queen of Pain and most notably Riki.
Centaur Warrunner
* 
Headshot and 
Shrapnel slow is ineffective against a team with haste (which Stampede gives).
* Commonly picked up mobility items and hasted movement during his Stampede (as well as his high health pool) make him extremely hard to kill from a distance, damaging 
Sniper with Retaliate and Blade Mail if he has one.
* A low health pool and no escape mechanism makes him an easy target for Centaur Warrunner's burst damage and initiation (even making his team possible initiators with Stampede).
Nature's Prophet
* 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.
Centaur Warrunner
* As Terrorblade's damage output comes mainly from direct attacks, he will struggle greatly against heroes who have abilities that give evasion, trigger on attack or which can disarm an enemy hero: Centaur Warrunner, 
Hoodwink, 
Huskar, Invoker, Leshrac with 
Nihilism from Aghanim's Scepter, Lifestealer with Aghanim's Scepter upgraded 
Infest, Pangolier, 
Phantom Assassin, 
Pugna, 
Techies, 
Windranger etc.
Centaur Warrunner
* His illusions will kill themselves in a few hits because of Retaliate. The nukes from Hoof Stomp and Double-Edge should be enough to clear them for a large portion of the game
* Centaur Warrunner's small mana pool makes 
Diffusal Blade's damage much lower once Centaur doesn't have any more mana left to burn. Keep in mind that Double Edge does not cost mana.
* Be wary when chasing down Phantom Lancer. Hoof Stomp's terrible cast time makes it quite easy to dodge with 
Doppelganger.
Additional:
* Hoof Stomp and Double Edge makes short work of Phantom Lancer's illusions.
* Retaliate together with Blade Mail reflects Phanton Lancer's damage and quickly destroys his illusions.
Nature's Prophet
* Teleportation allows Natures Prophet to save himself from the damage over time of 
Venomous Gale, 
Poison Sting and 
Poison Nova.
* 
Plague Wards can be destroyed with Nature's Prophet's Treants.
Centaur Warrunner
* 
Stampede can allow Soulbinded heroes to just ran away.
Centaur Warrunner
* A good Centaur can catch Queen of Pain with a Blink Dagger and Hoof Stomp.
* Retaliate with Blade Mail reflects all of Queen of Pain's damage, especially Sonic Wave.
* Stampede grants a movement speed bonus, which can prevent Queen of Pain from initiating.
* Double Edge can shred her low health pool if she's not careful.
Centaur Warrunner
* Centaur can use Stampede to break Static Link. It also prevents Razor from chasing Centaur Warruner or his teammates with Eye of the Storm, and Plasma Field's slow will do nothing to slow them down.
Nature's Prophet
* Nature's Call can be used to tank 
Omnislash in the early to mid game due to their high health pool combined.
* Sprout can trap Juggernaut, even if he is using 
Blade Fury. Aghanim's Shard upgraded Sprout can also prevent Juggernaut from escaping if he buys Battle Fury.
* Once Nature's prophet reach lv 20 with leash talent on Sprout, he can stop Juggernaut from escaping with Blade Fury and TPing away.
* Nature's Prophet can farm and push much faster than Juggernaut, acquiring map control before he can do much.
Nature's Prophet
* Sprout with True Sight items (
Sentry Ward or Dust of Appearance) make it possible to trap Weaver in lane, unless he buys 
Quelling Blade or until he unlocks 
Time Lapse.
* 
The Swarm beetles can be destroyed with Nature's Prophet's Treants.
Centaur Warrunner
* 
Focus Fire grants Windranger a massive attack speed bonus, while her attack damage is generally quite low. This, combined with Windranger's low health pool and armor, makes Retaliate do absolutely massive damage over a short time, making Centaur a hero she can never expect to kill or harass.
* 
Windrun grants evasion, but Centaur Warrunner does not rely on successful attacks in order to do damage. Hoof Stomp, Double Edge, and Stampede all do large amounts of magical damage and can completely demolish Windranger in a moment.
Additional:
* Stampede can help his teammates escape from Windrun and Focus Fire.
* Retaliate will shred through Windranger's health if she chooses to attack him during Focus Fire.
Nature's Prophet
* Chain Frost can bounce to the treants that Nature's Prophet summons.
* Nature's Prophet's Sprout can be used to isolate and burst down the squishy Lich.
Additional:
* His treants can prevent 
Chain Frost from jumping to Nature's Prophet or his allies.
Nature's Prophet
* Nature's Prophet's Nature's Call can destroy trees that Treant Protecter is hiding in, revealing him.
Centaur Warrunner
* Arc Warden cannot take Centaur Warrunner very easily, and his nukes are not strong enough to deal with Centaur Warrunner.
* Centaur Warrunner deals huge AoE damage and applies an AoE disable through Hoof Stomp, affecting the double as well the main Arc Warden.
* 
Magnetic Field is not very effective against melee heroes. And to make things worse, Magnetic Field also increases Arc Warden and his allies's attack speed, meaning Retaliate will deal more damage.
* Stampede catches Arc Warden easily due to his lack of escape mechanisms. However, Arc Warden can counter this problem with 
Gleipnir, which is a common item on Arc Warden.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes with summons like Broodmother, Enigma, Nature's Prophet; or illusions, like Naga Siren, Terrorblade are effective at keeping the choke points and rune spawns safe from Proximity Mines.
Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes with haste can negate Enchant's slow: 
Weaver, Dark Seer, Lycan, Centaur Warrunner.
Centaur Warrunner
* Durable heroes can stand against Tusk during 1v1: Axe, 
Dragon Knight, 
Night Stalker, Centaur Warrunner, Wraith King and more.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes with summons or illusions makes Sacred Arrow harder to land: Shadow Demon, Phantom Lancer, Nature's Prophet.
Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes who are reliant on illusions: Chaos Knight, Phantom Lancer, Naga Siren.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes with many summons or illusions are much harder to catch with Meat Hook: Nature's Prophet, Phantom Lancer, Chen.
Centaur Warrunner
* 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.
Centaur Warrunner
* 
Troll Warlord's high speed attack makes Retaliate deal a lot of damage to him.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes with plenty of summons, such as Broodmother or Nature's Prophet can have their minions soak up most of your Paralyzing Cask.
Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes who can match Void Spirit's mobility (like the aforementioned 
Ember Spirit or Queen of Pain) or tank his spells (Dragon Knight or Centaur Warrunner) are very problematic for him.
Nature's Prophet
* Nature's Prophet's low mobility and health pool allow Phantom Assassin to destroy him in the early game.
* Phantom Strike allows Phantom Assassin to jump in and out of Sprout, provided she has vision.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes with illusions and summons can be hard for Phantom Assassin to deal with, as she lacks any AoE abilities to deal with them without items: Broodmother, Phantom Lancer, Chaos Knight, Lycan, Naga Siren, Shadow Shaman, Visage, Nature's Prophet, Terrorblade, Warlock, Wraith King.
Centaur Warrunner
* Hoof Stomp and Double Edge can often burst down Phantom Assassin from early to mid game.
* Retaliate makes it very unlikely for Phantom Assassin to win the lane against Warrunner. Double Edge can also be used to wear her down, as she has a much smaller health pool than that of Centaur Warrunner until purchasing a 
Ring of Health. 
Stifling Dagger will also trigger Retaliate and 
Blur cannot evade Retaliate.
* Centaur Warrunner's tankiness in combination with armour items that Axe often purchases like Blade Mail, 
Crimson Guard, 
Assault Cuirass and 
Shiva's Guard can make Phantom Assassin's attacks only tickle Centaur Warrunner.
* Centaur Warrunner just has to be careful about 
Fan of Knives from Aghanim's Shard and 
Coup De Grace, as Fan of Knives can disable Retaliate even if Centaur Warrunner is spell immune.
Additional:

Nature's Prophet
* Heroes who do not have nor rely on passive abilities make Nethertoxin much less effective: Clinkz, Pugna, Nature's Prophet, Dark Seer, Lycan, 
Tusk
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes with illusions and summons can swarm and overwhelm Bane, who has no area abilities to deal with them outside from Aghanim's Shard upgraded 
Brain Sap: Broodmother, Chaos Knight, Naga Siren, Nature's Prophet, Phantom Lancer, Terrorblade, Visage, Warlock, Wraith King.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes with cleave damage: Sven, 
Magnus, 
Kunkka.
Nature's Prophet
* Sprout is good for trapping melee carries with no escape abilities: Sven, Alchemist, Lifestealer etc.
Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes who thrive on teamfights can be a problem, such as 
Venomancer, 
Necrophos, Centaur Warrunner...
Centaur Warrunner
* Night Stalker is all about right-clicks. His nuke, 
Void is also not that threatning once you have Hood of Defiance, your core item.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes who have summons, which can be quickly cleared by his powerful area of effect skill: Nature's Prophet, Enigma, Lycan
Centaur Warrunner
* Pangolier will proc Retaliate several times if he attempts to use 
Swashbuckle on Centaur Warrunner.
* Centaur can cast Stampede to allow all of his allies to easily avoid 
Rolling Thunder.
* Centaur's tankiness makes it hard for Pangolier to burst him down in the late game.
Additional:
* When Swashbuckle hits Centaur Warrunner, Retaliate will deal significant damage, as it procs off every strike made.
* Stampede helps allies avoid or disengage from Pangolier during Rolling Thunder, as well as neutralizing the slow debuff from Lucky Shot.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes with invisibility: (Riki, Clinkz, Nyx Assassin.
Centaur Warrunner
* Centaur's low Intelligence makes 
Mind Flare do low damage.
* With some creative skill builds, Centaur's Hoof Stomp stun duration should always last longer than 
Spiked Carapace stun, so escaping unscathed is hard for Nyx.
* With Blink Dagger and detection, Centaur can devastate Nyx in the open.
* However, bear in mind that Nyx can also easily initiate on Centaur Warrunner as well if he uses Spiked Carapace in anticipation, and with 
Vendetta. The damage from Retaliate will be reflected back to Centaur Warrunner, stunning him with no chance to react after he's revealed himself, and should guarantee a successful 
Impale.
Nature's Prophet
* Sprout will not protect Nature's Prophet from Tree Dance.
* Boundless Strike will interrupt attempts at Teleportation, and can reach Nature's Prophet inside the tree line.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes that can destroy trees will deny Monkey King spots to jump on, or cause him to fall: Windranger, Nature's Prophet, Phantom Lancer
Additional:
* Nature's Prophet's Natures's Call can destroy trees while Monkey King is standing on them with 
Tree Dance, which will stun him for a good deal of time.
Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes that can keep Monkey King stunned for a long time can pose a threat: Axe, Centaur Warrunner.
Nature's Prophet
* Nature's Prophet is extremely easy to gank with Relocate while he's split pushing.
* Tether on a friendly unit can destroy Nature Prophet's trees should he surround himself with Sprout as a defense.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes with both illusions and summons, for Io has nothing to deal with multiple enemies at once outside from Spirits's weak area-of-effect: Beastmaster, Broodmother, Chaos Knight, Lycan, Naga Siren, Nature's Prophet, Phantom Lancer, Shadow Shaman, Terrorblade, Visage, Warlock, Wraith King.
Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes that are hard to gank: Axe, 
Death Prophet, Phantom Lancer, 
Slark, Centaur Warrunner, Bristleback, 
Medusa, 
Mars.
Nature's Prophet
* Doom can eats Nature's Prophet's treants with 
Devour and gains lots of gold.
* Doom can buy Radiance or use his 
Scorched Earth to quickly wipe out a swarm of Treants.
* 
Doom and a ministun from 
Infernal Blade's prevents Nature's Prophet from escaping with Sprout and Teleportation.
Centaur Warrunner
* Whenever Doom casts his ultimate, Centaur Warrunner can cast Stampede and allow the Doomed hero to run away, wasting Doom's ultimate.
Additional:
* Stampede can be used to free an ally from the grasp of Doom. Without any means of effective lockdown, kills can be difficult to secure when against an enemy Centaur Warrunner. Also, Centaur's tendency to have lots of health and HP regen tend to help counter Doom.
Nature's Prophet
* Mass summoning heroes: Broodmother, Nature's Prophet and Enigma all have summons Puck can clear with Illusory Orb and Waning Rift instantly, due to their summons having low health.
Centaur Warrunner
* Axe, Bristleback, Centaur Warrunner, Spirit Breaker, 
Pudge, Huskar, Wraith King, Doom: These heroes are too tanky for Puck to burst down. Also, all of them have spells which can deal with and shut Puck down reliably.
Nature's Prophet
* Anti-Mage's high mobility from Blink and tendency to build Battle Fury makes him strong against split-pushing heroes: Nature's Prophet, Tinker, and Arc Warden.
Centaur Warrunner
* Anti-Mage's 
Mana Void won't do a lot of damage because Centaur has a low mana pool. 
Mana Break is also relatively ineffective against him.
Nature's Prophet
* 
Legion Commander's 
Overwhelming Odds deals damage for every Treant it hits, which allows it to easily wipe out large waves of them.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes with global abilities can give Legion Commander's opponent an edge in Duels from anywhere on the map: Nature's Prophet, 
Ancient Apparition, Zeus, Invoker, 
Treant Protector
Nature's Prophet
* Nature's Prophet has no innate way to deal with 
Gravekeeper's Cloak or kill {U:Familiar}s effectively.
* Familiars can fly over the trees created by Sprout. They can also use 
Stone Form when Nature's Prophet is trying to use Teleportation.
* 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.
Centaur Warrunner

Nature's Prophet
* Undying's
Tombstone will cheerfully chew through treants, incidentally netting you some extra income during fights.
Soul Rip
