[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 11%)Snapfire
* Blade Fury makes Juggernaut immune against all of Snapfire's spells and allows him to get closer.
* A well-timed Omnislash allows Juggernaut to dodge Snapfire's spells, and she has no way to deal with it.
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
Battlefury.
* 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.
Naga Siren
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 3%)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 prevents Teleportation.
* Song of the Siren will stop Nature's Prophet from escaping even if he has hidden inside of Sprout.
Snapfire
* Mortimer Kisses can make quick work of Naga Siren's illusions.
* Scatterblast and
Firesnap Cookie's AoE damage are also decent ways to deal with Naga's illusions.

[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 13%)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.

Ancient Apparition,
Zeus,
Invoker,
Treant Protector

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.

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.
Snapfire
*
Mana Break reduces Snapfire's already low mana pool.
Blink allows Anti-Mage to avoid being hit by
Lil' Shredder and
Mortimer Kisses.
