Ogre Magi
* Lifestealer's Rage makes him immune to all of Ogre's magical debuffs and also dispels them.
* Ogre's high health pool makes him an ideal target for Feast.
Additional:
* Ogre Magi has nothing against 
Rage and his high health pool amplifies 
Feast.
Techies
* Rage protects Lifestealer from all of Techies's abilities. 
Reactive Tazer's disarm will also not work on Lifestealer under Rage.
* Rage can also be used to trigger Techies's 
Proximity Mines safely.
Additional:
* Lifestealer's Rage lets him clear Proximity Mines without taking damage, and allows him to hit heroes whom Techies has used Reactive Tazer on.
Ogre Magi
* 
Viper Strike breaks Multicast.
* 
Corrosive Skin minimizes the damage from Ignite and Fireblast.
Techies
* Corrosive Skin will protect Viper from Techies' magical damage.
* Even though Reactive Tazer will disarm Viper if he attacks Techies with 
Poison Attack, he does lots of damage with his other abilities that can still kill Techies.
Ogre Magi
* Ogre Magi only deals magical damage, which Anti-Mage is exceptionally resistant due to Counterspell.
* Anti-Mage dispels 
Ignite with 
Manta Style.
* Ogre Magi has a very large mana pool which means Anti-Mage can do large amounts of damage to him with Mana Break and Mana Void.
Additional:
* Anti-Mage can kite Ogre Magi who has low mobility by 
Blink and his intelligence gain and build making 
Mana Void deal more damage.
* 
Counterspell well timed makes harass Fireblast and Ignite.
Techies
* Thanks to Counterspell's magic resistance, Anti-Mage has a good chance of surviving a Blast Off combo.
* Anti-Mage is a natural Manta Style carrier, meaning he can dispel the silence from Blast Off and blink away when Techies initiates on him.
Ogre Magi
* In general, heroes that deal burst in multiple instances will trigger Borrowed Time and heal Abaddon for a large amount, such as 
Skywrath Mage, 
Techies, 
Juggernaut, 
Shadow Shaman, or 
Ogre Magi.
Techies
* Aphotic Shield makes it less likely for allies to be killed by mines.
* Because they explode in very short intervals, a stack of 
Remote Mines will always trigger Borrowed Time, making them impossible to kill Abaddon unless his resistances are lowered enough or Abaddon is affected by Break.
* Abaddon can easily dispel the long-lasting root of 
Stasis Trap on himself and on an ally, while at the same also providing protection against the other mines' damage.
Additional:
* 
Borrowed Time's automatic activation will help Abaddon survive a field of Proximity Mines or a Blast Off combo. However, the damage from a single mine can kill him if his HP is low enough.
* 
Aphotic Shield's can easily break Techies' Etheral Blade combo.
Ogre Magi
* Ogre Magi has no undispellable AoE damage or disables and has nothing to deal with Phantom Lancer's illusions.
* 
Doppelganger disjoints and dispels Ignite.
Techies
* Illusions can be sent out to destroy Techies mines.
Ogre Magi
* Heroes rely on their debuff to control the opponent will have a hard time against Press the Attack: 
Venomancer, 
Earth Spirit, Ogre Magi
Techies
* Heroes with low health will die easily during Duels, and can be farmed for damage in the early game: 
Crystal Maiden, 
Lich, Techies, 
Rubick
Ogre Magi
* 
Heavenly Grace reduces Fireblast stun time and dispels Ignite.
* 
Purification can heal damaged heroes if needed.
Techies
* 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.
Techies
* 
Dark Ascension also allows Night Stalker to fly over Proximity Mines without triggering them.
* 
Crippling Fear is effective in stopping Techies from using Blast Off and 
Void is effective in stopping them from running to the safety of their mines.
Techies
* Wraith King's skeletons from 
Vampiric Spirit keeps the choke points and rune spawns safe from Proximity Mines.
* Wraith King is not afraid to go into a field of Proximity Mines, wherever he goes as long as 
Reincarnation is off cooldown .
Additional:
* Wraith King is not afraid to walk into mines, whenever he goes with his Reincarnation ready.
Ogre Magi
* Undying saps strength from heroes with Decay, and Ogre Magi's high strength gain will allow Undying to steal more and more strength, becoming stronger with each use.
* Due to the Strength steal from Decay, Undying is normally very tanky, and has high health, making it harder for Ogre Magi to kill him.
Techies
* Shadow Demon's spammable illusions can be used to scout Techies' Proximity Mines.
Techies
* 
Exorcism's ghosts will automatically clear all Proximity Mines revealed when Death Prophet walks near them, provided that the ghosts do not have a specific target at that time.
* Death Prophet is a natural 
Eul's Scepter of Divinity carrier, meaning she can easily escape a Blast Off initiation.
Techies
* Juggernaut can trigger Proximity Mines while in 
Blade Fury, and can walk away from a initiation with Blast Off if Blade Fury is activated before the silence.
* Juggernaut ignores Reactive Tazer when he uses 
Omnislash, whether Techies used it to protect an ally or themselves.
Ogre Magi
* 
Dark Pact dispels Ignite's slow and Fireblast's stun.
* 
Shadow Dance allows Slark to regenerate HP, even when he is affected by Ignite and Fireblast.
Techies
* He can send wolves to defuse Proximity Mines, and he can catch up Techies and kill him before they can deny themselves. Even if the suicide is successful, Lycan can still survive because of his tankiness.
Techies
* Techies spends lots of time standing still planting stacks of 
Land Mines away from creep waves.
* Sacred Arrow can be used to scout hidden Land Mines among trees and at uphill places. It can also be used to catch Techies while he's planting them.
* If Techies is hit with a Sacred Arrow, he can be killed before he has a chance to use 
Blast Off!.
* Mirana has a high attack range to destroy his traps from a safe distance.
Techies
* Plague Wards may reveal a hiding Techies. If there's a sentry nearby, they may also reveal a stack of mines hidden in a juking spot.
Ogre Magi
* 
Doom makes Ogre Magi less disruptive.
* 
Infernal Blade effectively negates Ogre Magi's durability.
* With 
Aghanim's Scepter, he can disable Multicast.
Techies
* As long as Batrider is under the effect of Firefly, he can safely fly over Proximity Mines (He does not receive vision over the mines).
Techies
* Any hero with a low HP pool is easy for Tinker to nuke down: Crystal Maiden, 
Enchantress, 
Gyrocopter, 
Lion, 
Riki, Techies, 
Terrorblade, 
Necrophos, 
Invoker.
Ogre Magi
* 
Arc Warden's 
Tempest Double is helpful for killing Ogre Magi who lacks AoE damage and disables.
Techies
* Slow heroes that have a hard time escaping the Echo Stomp radius: Crystal Maiden, 
Pudge, Techies.
Ogre Magi
* 
Winter Wyvern's 
Winter's Curse works very well against the increased attack speed from Bloodlust.
Techies
* 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.
Techies
* 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.
Ogre Magi
* Earth Spirit's useful kit of Slows, Stuns, and Silences can set up kills on Ogre Magi and the silence can stop him from using his abilities.
Techies
* Heroes with forced movement abilities or non-interrupting forced movement, such as Lion, 
Drow Ranger, 
Magnus, 
Mars, as they can cancel blast-off mid air, removing his ability to initiate or escape.

Waning Rift, and 
Phase Shift makes Puck untargetable for the duration.
Techies
* Heroes with forced movement abilities or non-interrupting forced movement, such as Lion, Drow Ranger, Magnus, Mars, as they can cancel blast-off mid air, removing his ability to initiate or escape.
Techies
* 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.
Ogre Magi
* A well-timed Fireblast with Multicast can prevent Weaver from escaping with 
Shukuchi and even 
Time Lapse.
* Ignite's high damage early on applies heavy pressure onto Weaver's very small health pool.
* However, the slow from Ignite is generally useless against Shukuchi, and Time Lapse dispels it if needed.
Techies
* Techies is very good against roaming supports and gankers such as 
Bounty Hunter, Riki, 
Weaver, 
Earthshaker, 
Nyx Assassin, etc. that are constantly moving around the map.
Ogre Magi
* Ignite can prevent Earthshaker from escaping and/or initiating with 
Blink Dagger.
* Fireblast and Unrefined Fireblast may help prevent Earthshaker follow through with his combo after landing an 
Echo Slam.
Techies
* Techies is very good against roaming supports and gankers such as Bounty Hunter, Riki, Weaver, Earthshaker, Nyx Assassin, etc. that are constantly moving around the map.
Ogre Magi
* Heroes that commonly attack ethereal units will not have any problems against Muerta's Pierce The Veil: 
Tinker, 
Jakiro, 
Lina, 
Luna, 
Pugna or Ogre Magi, Enigma, 
Batrider, Techies, Broodmother, 
Dawnbreaker, Shadow Shaman, 
Bane, Tinker, Venomancer, Arc Warden.
Techies
* Heroes that commonly attack ethereal units will not have any problems against Muerta's Pierce The Veil: Tinker, Jakiro, Lina, Luna, Pugna or Ogre Magi, Enigma, Batrider, Techies, Broodmother, Dawnbreaker, Shadow Shaman, Bane, Tinker, Venomancer, Arc Warden.
Techies
* 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.
Techies
* Techies can easily catch Chen off guard and kill him quickly with Blast Off! and 
Ethereal Blade combo, especially because Blast Off! can silence Chen and stun him when upgraded with 
Aghanim's Shard.
* However, Chen's converted creeps can trigger Proximity Mines, wasting them.
Techies
* Proximity Mines can be placed near trees to detect Monkey King.
* Follow up with Blast Off! to destroy the tree, causing Monkey King to take high damage, fall from the tree, and become stunned.
Additional:
* Techies can turn his tree jumping ability against him, by placing Proximity Mines that will detect him near trees, and then destroying the trees around him with Blast Off, stunning him and dealing high damage, on top of him being silenced when the stun expires.
* Monkey King's mobility is also severely limited around Techies' mines as he will almost always trigger them due to the cooldown time between tree jumps. Monkey King will be forced to take mine damage or escape with 
Primal Spring.
Techies
* After using Snowball, Tusk can't control where he's going, allowing Techies to make him roll onto mines.
Techies
* Remote Mines are frequently placed in trees, and can thus kill an unwary Hoodwink should she 
Scurry away due to her low HP pool.
* Blast Off! can clear out trees, denying the tactical advantages from Scurry.
Techies
* If Storm Spirit isn't careful, he could fall into a trap set by Techies and another hero acting as bait.
* Stasis Trap roots Storm Spirit for 2/3/4/5 seconds and Blast Off! silences for 4/5/6/7 seconds, which effectively prevents Storm Spirit from using 
Ball Lightning to escape for a lengthy duration.
Ogre Magi
* Fireblast is a good tool to interrupt Io during its escapes through 
Tether.
* Ignite can be one of the few spells with enough total damage to out-trade the sustained healing Io provides for its fellow laner.
* However, picking other supports that focus less on the laning phase is generally a better choice against Io.
Ogre Magi
* Multicast Fireblasts over the course of fights are a decent nuisance to stall Sven's massive damage output.
* Bloodlust and Ignite gives Ogre Magi's team the movement speed difference needed to chase and/or disengage against a Sven and his 
Warcry.
* Ignite provides strong damage over time to pressure Sven early on in the laning phase and keep his health low, delaying his transition into the jungle. Ignite is also an easy way to disrupt Blink Dagger, Sven's most popular way of initiation.
* Ogre Magi's presence in the laning phase both in terms of damage and durability keeps high pressure on Sven in lane.
* Purchasing an Aghanim's Shard allows Ogre Magi to greatly reduce the burst damage of Sven, who tends to build items focused on damage per hit instead of attack speed.
Techies
* Heroes with nukes that can jump her: 
Clockwerk, 
Snapfire, 
Spirit Breaker, Techies
Additional:
* Techies does huge amounts of magical damage, which will bypass 
Untouchable.
* Enchantress depends on abilities to do damage and heal, which Blast Off's silence prevents.
Ogre Magi
* Supports who can slow him to the point Trample does very little damage in the lane are also not fun: Lich, Ogre Magi, Winter Wyvern.
Techies
* Techies is very good against roaming supports and gankers such as Bounty Hunter, Riki, Weaver, Earthshaker, Nyx Assassin, etc. that are constantly moving around the map.
Techies
* Some abilities deals damage from an independent source and not from the hero itself, so Nyx cannot counter them with Spiked Carapace: illusions or summoning units, 
Homing Missile, 
Nimbus, 
Mass Serpent Ward, 
Death Ward and especially Techies's mines.
Ogre Magi
* Heroes that can cancel Charge of Darkness: Ogre Magi, Earthshaker, Lion, Rubick, Lina, Luna, Jakiro, Dawnbreaker, 
Alchemist, Ogre Magi, 
Axe, Shadow Shaman, Naga Siren, Mars, Bane, Pudge, Clockwerk.
Ogre Magi
* Side lanes with disables will greatly reduce the likeliness Void Spirit will be willing to rotate: 
Sven, 
Tiny, 
Wraith King, Ogre Magi.
Techies
* Techies is very good against roaming supports and gankers such as Bounty Hunter, Riki, Weaver, Earthshaker, Nyx Assassin, etc. that are constantly moving around the map.
Techies
* Heroes that provide vision will see Fiend's Gate coming: Techies, 
Templar Assassin, 
Treant Protector.
Techies
* 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.
Techies
* Techies deals lots of magical damage with 
Sticky Bomb, Blast Off! and Proximity Mines that bypasses Terrorblade's high armor and can punish his low max life.
* Sticky Bomb is easy to land on a large clump of Terrorblade illusions and will damage and slow Terrorblade and all of his illusions if he can't quickly move the right one away.
* Reactive Tazer upgraded with Aghanim's Scepter can be used to protect an ally getting attacked by Terrorblade. Further, it disarms all of his illusions even while he has activated 
Black King Bar, greatly decreasing his damage.
* Blast Off! stuns Terrorblade, preventing him from casting 
Sunder.
Techies
* Heroes with forced movement abilities or non-interrupting forced movement, such as Lion, Drow Ranger, Magnus, Mars, as they can cancel blast-off mid air, removing his ability to initiate or escape.
Ogre Magi
* It is difficult for Mars to trade blows with Ogre Magi in the early game thanks to his high base health, resistance and Ignite.
* 
Bloodlust can assist Ogre Magi or an ally in repositioning against Mars for its move speed bonus.
* 
Fireblast can interrupt and mitigate Mars from performing his skill combos, especially in combination with 
Multicast.
Techies
* 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.
Ogre Magi
* Nature's Prophet treants can be cleared by Ignite or Multicast 
Hand of Midas
* Fireblast and Unrefined Fireblast prevents Nature's Prophet from using 
Teleportation.
Techies
* 
Refraction can be very useful in safely neutralizing Proximity Mine fields, or absorbing Techies' Blast Off combo.
Ogre Magi
* The damage block instances of Refraction can be burned down with Ignite.
* Fire Shield effectively reduces the burst damage from a 
Meld-charged ambush from Templar Assassin, provided the spell is cast beforehand.
Ogre Magi
* 
Phantasm dispels Ignite and makes targeting the real Chaos Knight much harder.
Techies
* Techies has great area of effect damage to deal with Phantasm illusions.
* Blast Off silences Chaos Knight, stopping him from using his disables and allowing his teammates to walk away from his heavy damage.
* Reactive Tazer will disarm all of Chaos Knight's illusions even if he has activated his Black King Bar.
Ogre Magi
* Ogre Magi has single-targeted magical-only damage and disables and is less effective against Meepo's clones.
Techies
* Reactive Tazer can lock multiple Meepos in place and prevent them from Poofing.
* Proximity Mines, Sticky Bomb and Blast Off! can deal heavy magic damage to multiple Meepos.
Ogre Magi
*
Fate's Edict gives full immunity from Ogre Magi's mostly magical damage.
Fortune's End can dispel Ignite (when used on allies) and Bloodlust (when used on enemies).
False Promise can dispel Ignite and Fireblast.
*
*
Techies
* Oracle can negate all of Techies' skills with Fate's Edict, as they are all magic damage. Fate's Edict can also be used to search and trigger
Proximity Mines when crossing mined territory.
Reactive Tazer off Techies, as well as the silence from 
Blast Off!, with Fortune's End.
Fate's Edict gives 100% magic resistance, which prevents most of Techies' damage.
Fortune's End dispels Reactive Tazer buff from Techies allowing him to be attacked. However, Reactive Tazer will instantly perform the area of effect disarm that is normally applied at the end of the duration.
* Oracle can dispel
* Oracle can further delay Techies' burst damage capability with False Promise.
Additional:
*
* Oracle's
* Fortune's End will also dispel Blast Off silence, Techies' Etheral Blade, Proximity Mines' magic resistance reduction, and Sticky Bomb's slow. However beware that it will only dispel Sticky Bomb's first or second instance of slow and not the damage, which will trigger as normal.
