Puck
* 
Doom can shut down with all abilities and items from Puck is strong escape. Since Doom muted silence activated duration, Puck Can't move freely although Doom build item 
Aghanim's Scepter.
* Doom will use build item 
Blink Dagger and 
Silver Edge can important from Doom simply catch Puck.
Ogre Magi
* Doom makes Ogre Magi less disruptive.
* 
Infernal Blade effectively negates Ogre Magi's durability.
* With Aghanim's Scepter, he can disable Multicast.
Puck
* Phase Shift is not an advantage against Arc Warden at all because Arc Warden can turn Puck's Phase Shift ability against him by using 
Spark Wraith, ensuring it to hit. To make this worse, Arc Warden can do it twice with his 
Tempest Double.
* 
Flux is also an instant spell (and therefore unavoidable) with a heavy slow and damage over time, which disables Blink Dagger for a certain period of time.
Ogre Magi
* 
Arc Warden's Tempest Double is helpful for killing Ogre Magi who lacks AoE damage and disables.
Puck
* Heroes with spell immunity or pseudo-blinks which provide invulnerability: 
Lifestealer, 
Juggernaut, 
Omniknight, 
Huskar, and 
Tusk have spells which allow them to easily escape Dream Coil.
Ogre Magi
* 
Heavenly Grace reduces Fireblast stun time and dispels Ignite.
* 
Purification can heal damaged heroes if needed.
Puck
* Lone Druid has a huge reserve of health on the 
Summon Spirit Bear and a quick regeneration of his health with the help of 
Spirit Link, which makes the Puck's magical abilities useless, since they cannot break through such a large pool of health
* The ability of the Summon Spirit Bear and in the 
True Form of the Lone Druid 
Entangling Claws allows you to catch Puck when he released the 
Illusory Orb, since Puck will not be able to apply 
Ethereal Jaunt during the root action

Puck
* Stone Form's long stun duration may prevent Puck from using escape abilities.
* Visage frequently builds 
Rod of Atos for the root that will make Puck unable to move and use his escape abilities. Alternatively, Visage can also build 
Bloodthorn to prevent Puck from using his escape abilities and make him more vulnerable to damage.
Puck
* Waning Rift's silence is almost completely worthless against Wraith King, due to him having only 1 active ability.
* Wraith King's only active ability, 
Wraithfire Blast, is strong against Puck if it hits, because it applies a damage over time on top of stunning and doing impact damage, disabling Puck for a while, and Blink Dagger for even longer. It is very important to avoid getting hit by this spell when playing against Wraith King.
* Even if Puck succeeds to burst down Wraith King, 
Reincarnation will ensure that Wraith King can fight back against him while leaving Puck exhausted and nearly unable to defend himself against Wraith King. And to make things worse, Puck is not a common 
Diffusal Blade nor 
Disperser wielder to counter this problem at all.
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.
Puck
* Jakiro has 3 damage over time spells, 3 of which are from debuffs on Puck: 
Dual Breath, 
Liquid Fire and 
Liquid Frost from 
Aghanim's Shard from and 1 affecting an entire area (
Macropyre), making it easy for him to disable the blink dagger.
* 
Ice Path is also strong against Puck, as he can cast it towards Puck during Phase Shift, who then gets instantly stunned once Phase Shift ends.

* Ice Path is also strong against Puck, as he can cast it towards Puck during Phase Shift, who then gets instantly stunned once Phase Shift ends.
Puck
* Unless Puck is facing the direction he wants to blink while in Phase Shift, the 
Venomous Gale and 
Noxious Plague combo consistently ticks many times over several seconds, making it very difficult to use Blink Dagger towards the other direction. Puck's slow turning rate makes this even worse.
* Venomancer can use 
Plague Wards to reveal Puck's position before he even gets a chance to initiate.
Puck
* 
Void is a potent nuke that is devastating to Puck's low health pool.
* 
Crippling Fear silence can prevent Puck from casting spells, leaving it vulnerable.
Additional:
* Puck cannot use any of its normal means to survive should Night Stalker catch it within Crippling Fear, and goes down quickly.
Puck
* Nyx Assassin can take advantage of every one of Puck's weaknesses. His entire skill set is very effective in countering Puck.
* Because Illusory Orb is such a slow moving projectile, Nyx Assassin can simply walk into the orb and activate 
Spiked Carapace, stunning Puck and setting up an easy 
Impale. This can be circumvented by using Phase Shift while the orb is traveling, however, that means that Puck cannot use Phase Shift to dodge any other skill nor use it to safely blink away from a fight.
* Puck is an intelligence hero that likes to build intelligence items such as 
Eul's Scepter of Divinity, 
Scythe of Vyse, and 
Dagon. This makes 
Mind Flare that much more deadly against Puck.
* An ill-timed Phase Shift can turn into an easy setup for Impale.
Additional:
* Illusory Orb is easy to reflect with Spiked Carapace, either stunning Puck and setting up an easy Impale or forcing a premature 
Phase Shift.
* Puck is an intelligence hero that tends to build intelligence items, making it vulnerable to Mana Burn.
* An ill-timed Phase Shift can easily set Puck up to be stunned by Impale.
* Puck's low base armor and below average agility gain mean it is always susceptible to Vendetta.
Puck
* Heroes with spell immunity or pseudo-blinks which provide invulnerability: Lifestealer, Juggernaut, Omniknight, Huskar, and Tusk have spells which allow them to easily escape Dream Coil.
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.
Puck
* Melee heroes that get kited easily have hard times dealing with Puck without any lockdowns, as Puck is one of the most mobile heroes. Heroes like 
Sven, Lifestealer, 
Ursa and 
Alchemist may have problems to get to Puck without proper initiation items. They also lack reliable lockdowns, as their disables are easily avoidable for Puck, or are just a soft disable.
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.
Puck
* Generally strong against lots of spellcaster-themed heroes, Puck fully relies on his skill set and cannot do almost anything when silenced.
* 
Arcane Curse disables Blink Dagger for quite some time, and is also effective against Puck as it tend to use its spells a lot.
* 
Glaives of Wisdom can do a lot of damage against Puck due to Puck's low agility gain and armor.
* 
Last Word can prevent Puck from getting a full combo off, limiting its effectiveness in team fights or ganks.
* 
Global Silence can take Puck out of fights entirely.
Puck
* Hard lockdowns such as 
Chronosphere can be used to quickly take down Puck. Whenever Puck is disabled for longer than 3 seconds, he will usually end up dead.
* As the type of hero that spams spells, 
Time Dilation counters Puck very effectively. Phase Shift is Puck's main ability for survivability, and Time Dilation effectively triples its cooldown.
* If not silenced, Faceless Void can use 
Time Walk can easily undo the damage dealt by Illusory Orb, Dream Coil and Dagon.
Additional:
* Puck cannot use spells if affected by Time Dilation, especially Phase Shift for main survivability as it effectively triples its cooldown.
* Chronosphere can end Puck's life quickly, as stun, more than 3 seconds will be a death sentence to Puck.
* If not silenced, Faceless Void can just Time Walk to undo Puck's Burst damage.
Puck
* All abilities from Puck potentialy can easily stealing with 
Spell Steal. Rubick's can build Blink Dagger inisiate escaping from Puck.
* With Aghanim's Scepter, Rubick's can easily two stolens abilities from Puck's.
Additional:
* Illusory Orb and 
Waning Rift are all great wave-clear abilities.
* Waning Rift can silence 
Puck, disabling all her abilities including Phase Shift.
* 
Dream Coil is a powerful teamfight ultimate that leashes enemies and disables their movement.
* As an elusive hero who requires constant repositioning, Puck is greatly countered by her own ultimate as it disables all her mobile abilities and items (especially Blink Dagger), forcing Puck to either stay in the danger zone or latches and stuns for a long time.
* Although Phase Shift does not provide extra damage or lockdown on its own, it does grant Rubick invulnerability, and enables him to use Blink Dagger with full duration similar to Puck's escaping combos.
* Rubick can initiate on Puck relatively fast as 
Telekinesis only has a 0.15 second cast animation.
Puck
* Heroes who are strong against mobile heroes: 
Disruptor, 
Bloodseeker, 
Kunkka, 
Keeper of the Light.
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.
Puck
* 
Axe, 
Bristleback, 
Centaur Warrunner, 
Spirit Breaker, 
Pudge, Huskar, 
Wraith King: 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.
Puck
* 
Riki and Disruptor: 
Smoke Screen and 
Static Storm can be thrown wherever Puck used Phase Shift, making Puck an easy target if it doesn't have Blink Dagger or is on cooldown. Puck is also very susceptible to Riki's high attack damage when attacking from the back. Glimpse also prevents Puck from escaping.
Ogre Magi
* 
Winter Wyvern's 
Winter's Curse works very well against the increased attack speed from Bloodlust.
Puck
* Heroes that depend on disrupting fights with ability combos or big ultimate abilities are vulnerable to the long stun of Fiend's Grip: Disruptor, 
Death Prophet, 
Enigma, 
Faceless Void, 
Invoker, 
Lich, 
Magnus, 
Mars, 
Medusa, 
Outworld Destroyer, 
Phoenix, Puck, 
Queen of Pain, 
Shadow Fiend, 
Treant Protector, 
Underlord, Winter Wyvern, 
Witch Doctor, 
Zeus.

Venomancer, 
Earth Spirit, Ogre Magi

Puck
* 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.
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.
Puck
* Illusory Orb and Phase Shift allows Puck to avoid most ganking attempts.
* Waning Rift and Dream Coil makes it very hard for Slark to escape bad situations.
* Puck's abilities used together also deals significant magical nuke damage, none of which are targeted and thus cannot be avoided by Shadow Dance.
Puck
* Axe, Bristleback, Centaur Warrunner, Spirit Breaker, Pudge, Huskar, Wraith King: 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.
Puck
* Earth Spirit Eliminates the possibility of the Puck to hide in Phase Shift and avoid an attack by 
Geomagnetic Grip with its AOE-silence, which is why it can help the team kill him
* Puck can't throw off the effect of 
Magnetize any of his abilities, which is why he will constantly receive damage if Earth Spirit extends this ability with his 
Stone Remnant

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.
Puck
* Puck can forbid the opportunity to avoid trouble for Earth Spirit on his own 
Rolling Boulder, using abilities: Dream Coil, Waning Rift
Additional:
* Puck can forbid the opportunity to avoid trouble for Earth Spirit on his own Rolling Boulder, using abilities: Dream Coil, Waning Rift
Puck
* Heroes with spell immunity or pseudo-blinks which provide invulnerability: Lifestealer, Juggernaut, Omniknight, Huskar, and Tusk have spells which allow them to easily escape Dream Coil.
Ogre Magi
* Ogre Magi has single-targeted magical-only damage and disables and is less effective against Meepo's clones.
Puck
* Heroes with powerful area-of-effect disables can initiate on Meepo and his clones and shut him down, such as Enigma, Invoker, Magnus, Puck, and Sand King.
Puck
* A Lycan with 
Shapeshift can always run down Puck for a very quick kill due to its low armor. It is important to abuse as many cliffs and trees as possible to escape from a Lycan.
Puck
* Any Hero with high mobility will be neutralized by dream coil: Queen of Pain, 
Storm Spirit, 
Ember Spirit, 
Lycan, Bloodseeker, Anti-Mage, Timbersaw.
Puck
* Phase Shift allows Puck to dodge all of Earthshaker's abilites.
* Waning Rift disables Earthshaker's stuns, leaving him and his team vulnerable.
* Dream Coil takes a stun from Earthshaker if he tries to escape from Blink Dagger or Enchant Totem upgraded from Aghanim's Scepter.
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.
Puck
* Melee heroes that get kited easily have hard times dealing with Puck without any lockdowns, as Puck is one of the most mobile heroes. Heroes like Sven, Lifestealer, Ursa and Alchemist may have problems to get to Puck without proper initiation items. They also lack reliable lockdowns, as their disables are easily avoidable for Puck, or are just a soft disable.
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.
Puck
* Void Spirit can easily be bursted down by Puck's high magic damage spells in early game.
* Wanning Rift and Dream Coil prevent him from using two of his important mobility abilities: 
Dissimilate and 
Astral Step.
Additional:
* Dream Coil prevents the usage of Void Spirit's escape abilities and limits his damage output in fights almost entirely.
* Killing Puck in the late game becomes difficult when they obtain a Eul's Scepter of Divinity, Blink Dagger, and Phase Shift.
Ogre Magi
* Side lanes with disables will greatly reduce the likeliness Void Spirit will be willing to rotate: Sven, 
Tiny, Wraith King, Ogre Magi.
Puck
* Mass summoning heroes: 
Broodmother, 
Nature's Prophet and Enigma all have summons Puck can clear clear with Illusory Orb and Waning Rift instantly, due to their summons having low health.
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.
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.
Puck
* All of Puck's damaging spells deal AoE magic damage, which focuses on Terrorblade's low health pool and ignores his armor.
* Puck's spells are also great at quickly clearing all of Terrorblade's illusions. Even a single Illusory Orb is enough to drop their health very low, allowing creeps, towers or allies to finish them off very quickly. Waning Rift and Illusory Orb together are usually enough to clear his illusions.
* Waning Rift prevents Terrorblade from casting 
Sunder at low health.
* Puck is a common Dagon carrier, making it possible to finish off Terrorblade before he has a chance to Sunder.
Puck
* Dream Coil and Wanning Rift prevent Pangolier from using 
Swashbuckle and 
Rolling Thunder. If Puck has Aghanim's Scepter, Dream coil will stop Rolling Thunder from moving entirely.
Additional:
* Illusory Orb and Waning Rift provides great mobility, allowing Puck to catch up Pangolier when he is attempting to disengage with his own skills.
* Dream Coil's leash act almost as a literal silence to Pangolier, disabling half of his arsenal and also piercing his spell immunity during Rolling Thunder. Also Dream Coil's very long duration will make Pangolier wasting his entire ultimate rolling in place.
Puck
* Puck relies mainly on magical burst damage, which Phantom Assassin is most vulnerable against.
* Phase Shift and Illusory Orb disjoint Stifling Dagger, also allowing to kite Phantom Assassin.
* Dream Coil will stun Phantom Assassin if she uses 
Phantom Strike to blink away.
Puck
* All of Puck's abilities are area-targeted, and will hit Dark Willow when she uses Shadow Realm.
* Illusory Orb allows Puck to bypass Bramble Maze, close the gap and silence Dark Willow with Waning Rift.
* Phase Shift helps Puck dodge attacks charged by Shadow Realm, and is easily timed against Terrorize's long cast time.
Puck
* Puck can initiate on Mirana with Waning Rift to prevent her from going invisible or Leaping.
* A Mirana caught in Dream Coil will stun herself if she tries to Leap away.
* Puck's Burst damage takes advantage of Mirana's below average health.
* Puck can easily dodge Sacred Arrow and Starstorm with Phase Shift.
Additional:
* Mirana's spells are laid out to assassinate enemies. Puck can easily avoid the slow moving 
Sacred Arrow, and also can avoid 
Starstorm with Phase Shift, since the meteors have a delay.
* If Puck casts either Waning Rift or Dream Coil in the area, Mirana cannot 
Leap away.
Puck
* All of Puck's abilities are active making Demonic Purge break from Aghanim's Scepter useless.
* Shadow Demon will find a hard time catching a Puck, as he can get away with Illusory Orb or even Waning Rift;
* Puck can dodge Shadow Poison waves and potentially avoid the damage from Demonic Purge with Phase Shift. Furthermore, after Disruption ended, Puck can use Phase Shift to avoid any further danger and can blink away with Blink Dagger.
* Waning Rift can be used to initiate Shadow Demon, prevent him from using any spells.
Puck
* Dream Coil leash can stop and stunned moving from 
Windrun.
* Combinated Wanning Rift and build Blink Dagger can easily avoid from 
Focus Fire
Puck
* Sniper has no spells to disable Puck. He lacks a silence to prevent spell casting and a stun to disable, allowing Puck to act instantly against Sniper.
* Sniper's main strategy is to attack his enemies from safe distance. Illusory Orb, combined with Blink Dagger makes it easy for Puck to get to Sniper. Due to his low health, he is also easily nuked down by Puck.
* The status debuff placed by 
Assassinate on its target makes it very easy to avoid it. Puck has 2 (3 when having Blink Dagger, 4 when having Eul's Scepter of Divinity, 5 when having Linken's Sphere) methods to disjoint or dodge the projectile, making it a bad spell for finishing off Puck.
Puck
* Puck dodges the abilities of Lina 
Dragon Slave and 
Light Strike Array with his Phase Shift skill, which helps him avoid combining these abilities with 
Laguna Blade and avoid burst damage from Lina
* Puck forbids Lina to use her abilities with the Waning Rift ability, which will help her teammates survive and even give them the opportunity to kill her
Additional:
* Puck dodges the abilities of Lina Dragon Slave and Light Strike Array with his Phase Shift skill, which helps him avoid combining these abilities with Laguna Blade and avoid burst damage from Lina
* Puck forbids Lina to use her abilities with the Waning Rift ability, which will help her teammates survive and even give them the opportunity to kill her
Puck
* Puck Outlanes Invoker with his abilities: Illusory Orb, Waning Rift finishing off all creeps on the line and getting a higher level than him
* Puck dodges Invoker's magic attacks with his abilities: Illusory Orb, Phase Shift in a fight, preventing Invoker from doing damage
Additional:
* Puck Outlanes Invoker with his abilities: Illusory Orb, Waning Rift finishing off all creeps on the line and getting a higher level than him
* Puck dodges Invoker's magic attacks with his abilities: Illusory Orb, Phase Shift in a fight, preventing Invoker from doing damage
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.
Puck
* Although Phoenix has many ways to disable a Blink Dagger, the high cooldown of all of its spells makes them not as reliable for this. Also, its spells cost a lot of health to use, making it easy to get nuked down.
* Waning Rift prevents Phoenix from using 
Supernova to refresh itself, giving Puck's team time to finish it off, or allow Puck to burst Phoenix down.
* Dream Coil prevents Phoenix from using 
Icarus Dive without consequences. Waning Rift and Dream Coil are also able to cancel 
Sun Ray, which is its main source of damage in the late game.
Puck
* Phase Shift can easily disjoint Phantom Embrace and waste half of the Soulbind's duration.
* Puck is very mobile hero who can jump backsides and burst Grimstroke before he can cast anything.
Puck
* Puck easily dodges the 
Nether Blast and the Pugna 
Life Drain with his Phase Shift, which is why he can easily avoid his strong magic damage
* The Puck's silence from the Waning Rift ability allows her team to easily cope with the Pugna, which cannot be said about the Pugna, because with the Puck it will be easy to avoid such an attack from the 
Decrepify
* The Puck's combo: Waning Rift + Illusory Orb + Dream Coil doesn't have a huge amount of damage to feel the damage of the Pugna from 
Nether Ward, however, it may be quite enough to kill the Pugna solo at an early stage of the game with 
Witch Blade
Additional:
* Puck easily dodges the Nether Blast and the Pugna Life Drain with his Phase Shift, which is why he can easily avoid his strong magic damage
* The Puck's silence from the Waning Rift ability allows her team to easily cope with the Pugna, which cannot be said about the Pugna, because with the Puck it will be easy to avoid such an attack from the Decrepify

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.
Puck
* Any Hero with high mobility will be neutralized by dream coil: Queen of Pain, Storm Spirit, Ember Spirit, Lycan, Bloodseeker, Anti-Mage, Timbersaw.
Puck
* Any Hero with high mobility will be neutralized by dream coil: Queen of Pain, Storm Spirit, Ember Spirit, Lycan, Bloodseeker, Anti-Mage, Timbersaw.
Puck
* Any Hero with high mobility will be neutralized by dream coil: Queen of Pain, Storm Spirit, Ember Spirit, Lycan, Bloodseeker, Anti-Mage, Timbersaw.
Puck
* 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.
Puck
* None of Puck's abilities have any damage-over-time components, meaning that 
Refraction is a valuable form of defense against Puck's lane harassment.
* 
Psi Blades deals pure damage and spills over instantly. Puck cannot reliably dodge the damage with Phase Shift.
Additional:
* Puck high magical burst is almost completely useless against Refraction. Templar Assassin often buys 
Orchid Malevolence to render Puck useless in teamfights.
Puck
* Heroes that have disposable area-targeted spells can force her to undo her Meld: 
Leshrac, Puck, Tiny, 
Jakiro,. An experienced Templar Assassin could try to use Refraction before Meld so she can tank through those damage without getting her Blink disabled.
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.
Puck
* 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.
Puck
* Melee heroes that get kited easily have hard times dealing with Puck without any lockdowns, as Puck is one of the most mobile heroes. Heroes like Sven, Lifestealer, Ursa and Alchemist may have problems to get to Puck without proper initiation items. They also lack reliable lockdowns, as their disables are easily avoidable for Puck, or are just a soft disable.
Puck
* Heroes that are hard to kill without lockdown: Puck, 
Weaver.

Heroes like Sven, Lifestealer, Ursa and Alchemist may have problems to get to Puck without proper initiation items. They also lack reliable lockdowns, as their disables are easily avoidable for Puck, or are just a soft disable.
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.
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.
Puck
* Because all of Warlock's abilities are active abilities, silences can make his impact in fights minimal. Be cautious of heroes that carry silences like Death Prophet, Puck, and the aforementioned Silencer.
Puck
* Heroes that can reliably kite out Dispose, Unleash and dodge Rebound, like Ember Spirit, 
Void Spirit, Storm Spirit, Anti-Mage, Faceless Void, Puck or always build items like Blink Dagger and 
Force Staff.
Puck
* Low health spellcasters: Lina, Witch Doctor, Tinker, Keeper of the Light, all rely heavily on their spells and are fragile heroes. They all also have avoidable spells, allowing Puck to get to them and quickly burst them down.
Puck
* Mass summoning heroes: Broodmother, Nature's Prophet and Enigma all have summons Puck can clear clear with Illusory Orb and Waning Rift instantly, due to their summons having low health.
Puck
* Low health spellcasters: Lina, Witch Doctor, Tinker, Keeper of the Light, all rely heavily on their spells and are fragile heroes. They all also have avoidable spells, allowing Puck to get to them and quickly burst them down.
Puck
* Heroes with long range abilities are also able to touch Zeus, such as 
Clockwerk, Kunkka, Puck, Skywrath Mage, Spirit Breaker, Tusk and others.
Puck
* Backline supports (Lion,
Crystal Maiden) can keep Puck pinned long enough for a kill.
Puck
* Waning Rift silences and damages enemies affected by the ability, diminishing Lion's punishing powers.
* High burst damage potential plus mobility and disable through Illusory Orb, Waning Rift, and Dream Coil allows Puck to effortlessly chase, lock and/or kill Lion, as the Demon Witch lacks proper ways to avoid so.
* Phase Shift allows Puck to dodge 
Earth Spike, 
Finger of Death and breaks 
Mana Drain's link.
Puck
* Heroes with mobility spells like Queen of Pain, Anti-Mage, Phantom Assassin, Riki, Puck, and Spirit Breaker that are cancelled by Frostbite can suffer greatly from the presence of Crystal Maiden. It is absolutely critical, however, to have followup from teammates, as all of the above heroes can make quick work of the squishy Crystal Maiden after they are released from her grip.
Puck
* Puck has both Waning Rift and Dream Coil to stop 
Freezing Field's channel regardless of whether or not Crystal Maiden has a Glimmer Cape, as both spells fully affect invisible units.
Puck
* Enigma can be a perfect counter-initiator with his ultimate. A perfectly timed Black Hole will turn the tide of any initiation, especially from heroes like; Spirit Breaker, 
Legion Commander, Axe, Puck, and 
Slardar.
Puck
* Mass summoning heroes: Broodmother, Nature's Prophet and Enigma all have summons Puck can clear clear with Illusory Orb and Waning Rift instantly, due to their summons having low health.

* Low health spellcasters: Lina, Witch Doctor, Tinker, Keeper of the Light, all rely heavily on their spells and are fragile heroes. They all also have avoidable spells, allowing Puck to get to them and quickly burst them down.
Puck
* Once you farm up an Orchid Malevolence or a Scythe of Vyse, you're suddenly a lot more fearsome to elusive heroes like Storm Spirit or even that pesky Puck.
Puck
* Any Hero with high mobility will be neutralized by dream coil: Queen of Pain, Storm Spirit, Ember Spirit, Lycan, Bloodseeker, Anti-Mage, Timbersaw.
Additional:
* Puck will make a game of dodging as many Shadow Strikes as he can with Phase Shift. If he's a good player, he will also dodge Sonic Wave. If he's a great player, he will also dodge Scream of Pain. All through a single spell.
* Puck also has a silence to stop her blink with Waning Rift.
* Puck will have vision to hunt her down if she blinks into the trees with Illusory Orb.
* If Queen of Pain is under the effect of Dream Coil, she will be unable to blink out.

Puck
* Heroes with spell immunity or pseudo-blinks which provide invulnerability: Lifestealer, Juggernaut, Omniknight, Huskar, and Tusk have spells which allow them to easily escape Dream Coil.
Puck
* Heroes with escaping and disjointing abilities can be good against Juggernaut:Anti-Mage Riki, Queen of Pain, Puck, Storm Spirit, Ember Spirit, 
Slark etc.
Puck
* Axe, Bristleback, Centaur Warrunner, Spirit Breaker, Pudge, Huskar, Wraith King: 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.
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
* Ogre Magi has no undispellable AoE damage or disables and has nothing to deal with Phantom Lancer's illusions.
* Doppelganger disjoints and dispels Ignite.
Puck
* Illusory Orb and Waning Rift are effective nukes against Phantom Lancer's illusions, especially in the early game.
* Dream Coil limits Phantom Rush and Doppelganger's mobility during teamfights.
Ogre Magi
* Phantasm dispels Ignite and makes targeting the real Chaos Knight much harder.
Puck
* Puck's area of effect nukes in the form of Illusory Orb and Waning Rift clears Phantasm illusions from the early game to mid game.
* Phase Shift can be used to disjoint Chaos Bolt.
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.
Puck
* Waning Rift silences Anti-Mage, preventing him from blinking away.
* However, Waning Rift can be dispelled by Manta Style.
* Dream Coil stops Anti-Mage from blinking, with Aghanim's Scepter also locks down Anti-Mage for long duration.
Puck
* Viper wins on the central line of Puck, because he has a huge damage from the
Poison Attack ability, which Puck is not able to constantly avoid using 
Phase Shift, which will give Viper an advantage in the possible damage inflicted on each other
Corrosive Skin ability of the Viper, which makes it unprofitable for the Puck to fight against the Viper at an early stage of the game, when the Puck has a very small pool of health.
