Queen of Pain
* 
Duels prevents Queen of Pain from using Blink, which may force her to purchase a 
Linken's Sphere
* Because Queen of Pain is also not a right-click hero, Legion won't have much difficulties in duels.
* 
Press the Attack dispels Shadow Strike's debuff.
Clinkz
* 
Searing Arrows and Clinkz physical damage items are almost suicidal when used on Legion Commander, as it invites an instant Duel and Legion Commander herself is a natural 
Blade Mail carrier.
* Duel locks down Clinkz for a long duration, preventing him from escaping with 
Skeleton Walk.
Queen of Pain
* Blood Rite prevents Queen of Pain from escaping with 
Blink.
* Blink will trigger the extra damage from Rupture.
Additional:
* 
Blood Rite silences her, preventing her from initiating or escaping.
* With 
Thirst, even if she Blinks away, Bloodseeker can catch right up to her.
* 
Rupture will heavily damage Queen of Pain if she tries to Blink away.
* She is, however, one of the few heroes who can avoid the damage from Rupture if she successfully blink-walks.
Clinkz
* Skeleton Walk is not enough to outrun Bloodseeker, and is detected by Thirst.
* Because of his low health and high damage output, Clinkz will get obliterated by Blade Mail
Additional:
* Thirst reveals Clinkz if he tries to escape with Skeleton Walk with low health. It also allows Bloodseeker to match or exceed Clinkz's speed.
* Rupture negates the mobility provided by Skeleton Walk in any attempt to escape or reposition in fights.
* Bloodseeker can easily build items to counter Clinkz, including 
Talisman of Evasion upgrades, Blade Mail, and armor items.
Queen of Pain
* Lina has a very long range of attack, which completely overlaps the range of Queen of Pain's abilities and attacks, which is why even a single 
Shadow Strike roll can become deplorable, since Lina will shoot Queen of Pain from a long distance before and after the Shadow Strike roll. And with the help of the abilities of 
Light Strike Array and 
Laguna Blade, Lina can even kill Queen of Pain because of her small health reserve if she is exposed to a blow
Additional:
* Lina has a very long range of attack, which completely overlaps the range of Queen of Pain's abilities and attacks, which is why even a single Shadow Strike roll can become deplorable, since Lina will shoot Queen of Pain from a long distance before and after the Shadow Strike roll. And with the help of Light Strike Array and Laguna Blade, Lina can even kill Queen of Pain because of her small health reserve if she is exposed to a blow.
Clinkz
* Lina's damage burst can quickly kill Clinkz before he saves them with Skeleton Walk.
* Fiery Soul attack speed bonus removes 
Burning Army easily in all stages of the game.
Queen of Pain
* A good Skywrath Mage with quick fingers will punish Queen of Pain for blinking aggressively. 
Ancient Seal is a six second silence with no cast time, so he can interrupt either her Shadow Strike or Sonic Wave, and a good 
Mystic Flare on top of that will seal the deal for her.
* Ancient Seal also has pretty good range so he could get it off before she blinks away.
Clinkz
* Even though Linken's Sphere will block your silence, you can cast Arcane Bolt to break it or wait until someone on your team breaks it. In addition, Linken's Sphere builders are usually squishy targets vulnerable to silences: 
Weaver, 
Queen of Pain, 
Morphling, 
Clinkz, etc. Don't forget that Ancient Seal also increases the magical damage these enemies take, along with silencing them.
Queen of Pain
* Smoke Cloud prevents Queen of Pain from using any of her offensive and defensive spells, rendering her unable to effectively react to Riki's attack.
* It's easy to dodge 
Sonic Wave by using Blink Strike & Tricks of the Trade.
Clinkz
* Heroes with high armor like 
Dragon Knight, or with abilities to cause attacks to miss like 
Phantom Assassin, 
Riki and 
Tinker will be hard to deal with, as Clinkz relies almost entirely on physical attacks.
Additional:
* Smoke Cloud prevents the use of 
Death Pact, Searing Arrows and Skeleton Walk, so Clinkz can neither defend himself against Riki nor fight back effectively.
* It's hard to gank Riki as Clinkz has to find him first.
Queen of Pain
* Time Dilation affects Queen of Pain's low cooldown abilities, making them unusable for a long time, rendering Queen of Pain nearly useless.
* Chronosphere provides excellent lockdown against Queen of Pain, allowing for reliable kills in all stages of the game.
Additional:
* 
Time Walk and 
Backtrack allows Faceless Void to easily negate Queen of Pain's burst damage.
* 
Chronosphere prevents Queen of Pain from escaping with Blink, and her low survivability makes her an easy kill.
* 
Time Dilation will prevent Queen of Pain from using her low-cooldown spells or force her to buy 
Black King Bar or a 
Eul's Scepter of Divinity to dispel the debuff and re-engage.
Clinkz
* Heroes who rely on invisibility, such as 
Bounty Hunter, Clinkz, 
Mirana, 
Nyx Assassin and Riki, as they will be revealed if caught by Chronosphere.
Queen of Pain
* High priority targets like Queen of Pain, 
Drow Ranger, 
Ember Spirit can't get caught out from 
Lion's long range disables, making it harder to them fulfill their roles, and making it easy to target them.
Clinkz
* 
Hex and 
Earth Spike can hold Clinkz down, giving him no chance to use Black King Bar or Skeleton Walk.
* 
Finger of Death quickly kills Clinkz due to his low health.
Queen of Pain
* Sonic Wave is a bad choice in abilities if he and the 
Tempest Double both use Blade Mail to reflect the damage to Queen of Pain, potentially killing her outright if her health is low enough.
* 
Magnetic Field protects himself or his ally from Queen of Pain's attacks unless she has 
Monkey King Bar.
* One more advantage of Tempest Double is that he can deny himself if he is close to death with Shadow Strike's debuff.
Clinkz
* Clinkz will often roam the map alone, and Treant Protector's 
Nature's Guise allows him to set up kills with his allies on Clinkz from invisibility.
* Treant Protector's very high damage allowing him to trade hits or contest last hits with Clinkz, while 
Living Armor can be used to sustain the harass.
* Living Armor protects any of Treant's allies ganked by Clinkz.
* In teamfights, Treant Protector's 
Overgrowth can disarm Clinkz, preventing him from turning invisible and holding him in place even if he has a Black King Bar.
* 
Leech Seed slows Clinkz, preventing him from repositioning or fleeing away from danger.
Clinkz
* 
Cold Embrace can heal herself or an ally, as well as protecting them from Clinkz's physical attacks and wasting his mana if Searing Arrows is on autocast.
* 
Winter's Curse allows Winter Wyvern to turn Clinkz's high damage and high attack speed against his allies, or take advantage of Clinkz's fragility if he can't use Skeleton Walk.
Queen of Pain
* Shadow Shaman has many disables to lock down Queen of Pain, preventing her from Blinking away, even through Linken's Sphere or her spell block talent.
* 
Mass Serpent Ward can tear through Queen of Pain's low health pool once she's locked down by 
Hex & 
Shackles.
Queen of Pain
* 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.
Queen of Pain
* Chain of Earthbinds prevents her from using Blink, allowing Meepo to quickly kill her with Poof and attacks.
* Meepo tends to buy items with attributes, mitigating Queen of Pain's magical burst.
Additional:
* Meepo is the hard counter for Queen of Pain - chaining 
Earthbinds prevents her from using Blink for a long time, and without any other escape options, Queen of Pain cannot survive several 
Poofs and attacks.
* Meepo tends to build items with attributes, mitigating Queen of Pain's magical burst.
Queen of Pain
* Heroes that rely on escapes to stay alive can be caught and locked down for a long time: Queen of Pain, Phantom Assassin
Clinkz
* Possibly Clinkz's worst enemy. He has many tools to utterly destroy Clinkz.
* 
Charge of Darkness can be used on Clinkz if Spirit Breaker's team spots him anywhere. This charge will track his location through Skeleton Walk's invisibility and movement speed bonuses.
* When Spirit Breaker charges onto Clinkz, he can easily use 
Dust of Appearance to guarantee a reveal on him while stunned.
* All three of Spirit Breaker's spells help him and his team quickly close the gap to Clinkz even at the edge of his attack range or when running away with Skeleton Walk.
* Spirit Breaker's high strength and above average armor makes him able to endure Clinkz's onslaught, meanwhile Clinkz will be heavily threatened if Spirit Breaker procs a 
Greater Bash.
Additional:
* Once caught with dust, Clinkz could be locked down for a long time by Spirit Breaker and has nowhere to escape.
* Charge of Darkness provides shared vision over its target, showing Clinkz even when he is in Skeleton Walk.
Queen of Pain
* Heroes that usually build Linken's Sphere as either a core or situational item: Weaver, 
Medusa, Morphling, Queen of Pain, 
Storm Spirit, 
Luna, 
Naga Siren.
Queen of Pain
* A good Nyx can reflect Queen of Pain's Sonic Wave with his 
Spiked Carapace, or even initiate a gank on her in 
Vendetta while she farms a creep wave with Scream of Pain.
* Her strength to intelligence ratio is bad enough that he should be able to kill her without even requiring a 
Dagon, provided he can get his full combo off.
Queen of Pain
* 
Glaives of Wisdom's intelligence steal will heavily punish Queen of Pain, as the loss of intelligence means that her mana pool is also reduced, since she is heavily reliant on her abilities to be able to make an impact.
* In the laning stage, Queen of Pain's reliance on spamming Shadow Strike and Scream of Pain will be significantly hindered by 
Arcane Curse.
* 
Last Word and 
Global Silence will render Queen of Pain defenseless unless she has an item/ally to dispel the silence.
Queen of Pain
* Aggressively blinking is not going to end well against Luna, because Queen of Pain will be an easy target for 
Lucent Beam & 
Eclipse.
* Queen of Pain's HP is abysmal, so Luna can quickly kill Queen of Pain as soon as she initiates with Blink.
Additional:
* Aggressively blinking is not going to end well against Luna, because Queen of Pain will be an easy target for Lucent Beam & Eclipse.
* Queen of Pain's HP is abysmal, so Luna can quickly kill Queen of Pain as soon as she initiates with Blink.
Clinkz
* Slardar can reveal Clinkz with 
Corrosive Haze and make him easy to kill, and his 
Bash of the Deep also hits hard against Clinkz's naturally low health pool.
* Slardar's 
Guardian Sprint can catch up with Clinkz's Skeleton Walk.
* The stun and slow from Slardar's 
Slithereen Crush can hold Clinkz in place.
Additional:
* Clinkz survivability depends entirely on Skeleton Walk. Corrosive Haze not only makes its invisibility useless, but also makes Clinkz even more vulnerable to physical damage.
Clinkz
* Zeus can reveal Clinkz with 
Lightning Bolt.
* He is vulnerable to Zeus's magical nukes, due to his low health pool.
Clinkz
* 
Scorched Earth deals damage to Clinkz during Skeleton Walk.
* 
Doom shuts down Clinkz entirely, as it prevents him from casting any of his spells and contributing a large amount of damage in teamfights.
Clinkz
* 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.
Clinkz
* Heroes with high armor like Dragon Knight, or with abilities to cause attacks to miss like Phantom Assassin, Riki and Tinker will be hard to deal with, as Clinkz relies almost entirely on physical attacks.
Queen of Pain
* Heroes with gap-closing abilities will be easy targets for Berserker's Call: Phantom Assassin, 
Faceless Void, 
Slark, 
Chaos Knight, Morphling, Queen of Pain
Additional:
* 
Berserker's Call prevents Queen of Pain from escaping with Blink and also pierces her Black King Bar.
* Due to her fast attack speed from 
Mjollnir, it will quickly trigger 
Counter Helix.
* 
Culling Blade finishes off Queen of Pain's low health pool before she gets a chance to escape, preventing her from playing the hit-and-run style often associated with Queen of Pain.
Clinkz
* Invisibility reliant heroes: Heroes with invisibility abilities or those that have invested into invisibility items are hindered by Bounty Hunter's Track. Few examples of such heroes are:Clinkz, Riki, 
Treant Protector, etc.
Additional:
* 
Track reveals Clinkz if he tries to escape with Skeleton Walk, allowing Bounty Hunter to gain lots of gold if he kills Clinkz.
* 
Jinada with physical damage items can quickly kill Clinkz due to his low health.
Clinkz
* Sand King is a strong ganker, allowing him to shut down squishy heroes in the early game: Phantom Assassin, Clinkz, 
Sniper, 
Enchantress.
Queen of Pain
* 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.
Clinkz
* 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.
Queen of Pain
* Heroes who commonly buy Linken's Sphere: Luna, Weaver, Morphling, Queen of Pain, Ember Spirit.
Queen of Pain
* In early to mid stage, Silence is also a great way to counter escape oriented heroes such as Anti-Mage, Queen of Pain, and Phantom Assassin to prevent them from escaping, provided that they don't have any basic dispels.
Additional:
* 
Silence will prevent Queen of Pain from using Blink to escape or chase.
* If Queen of Pain uses Blink to close the gap to Death Prophet, Death Prophet will be in range for 
Spirit Siphon and typically gain an advantage over Queen of Pain.
Clinkz
* Heroes that excel at grouping up with their team very early will be able to take advantage of a Clinkz that tries to pick off heroes that are alone: 
Brewmaster, 
Dazzle, 
Tidehunter.
Queen of Pain
* Heroes reliant on abilities to output damage or escape can be shut down by Gust: Queen of Pain.
Clinkz
* Clinkz has no stun and likes to keep his distance from targets, making Marksmanship very deadly.
* Clinkz also has low health, making him a perfect hero to initiate onto with Gust.
* Gust can also prevent Clinkz from using 
Burning Barrage.
Queen of Pain
* Often you can burst Drow Ranger down before she has a chance to try and 
Gust you away. Try to have a teammate bait her Gust out before you Blink and get the drop on her.
Queen of Pain
* Heroes that have escape abilities (such as Queen of Pain, Storm Spirit or 
Timbersaw) can be either nullified by Reaper's Scythe or a complimentary item for Necrophos (like 
Rod of Atos or 
Scythe of Vyse). If Necrophos is quick enough and enters range, they can quickly, if not instantly, die if they are not quick enough.
Queen of Pain
* Because Queen of Pain's spells cost a decent amount of mana, Anti-Mage can easily use 
Mana Void if she spams her spells recklessly.
* Anti-Mage has similar mobility through 
Blink, which can allow him to catch up to or flee from her.
* 
Counterspell will reduce the damage done by Shadow Strike and Scream of Pain. Additionally, its active component also reflects Shadow Strike back at her if Anti-Mage times it right.
Clinkz
* Heroes who build mana boosting items but have low mana regeneration are especially vulnerable against Mana Break and Mana Void: Timbersaw, Slark, Shadow Fiend, Clinkz, 
Bristleback Nyx Assassin, Magnus
Clinkz
* Anti-Mage's Counterspell provides no protection against Clinkz's physical damage output.
* Clinkz can easily rush an 
Orchid Malevolence to prevent Blinking, although Anti-Mage can easily dispel it via 
Manta Style.
* Clinkz does heavy damage to towers, and can take map control away from Anti-Mage to limit the space he has to farm early game. If Clinkz is ahead he is capable of ending the game before Anti-Mage becomes a threat. He can also match Anti-Mage's ability to split push.
Queen of Pain
* 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.
Clinkz
* Frostbite will reveal invisible heroes for its duration, making it a good tool against any such hero (Riki, Bounty Hunter, Weaver, or Clinkz for example), or as a soft counter to 
Shadow Blade, if it is used first. This can be an amazing tool to ensure that Dust of Appearance is used on the unit in question, and not wasted in not catching anything.
Clinkz
* Heroes who can easily harass Crystal Maiden out of lane in the early game (Clinkz, 
Viper) can prevent Crystal Maiden from being able to level effectively, and can ultimately slow down her level 6, 12, and 18 to a point where enemy carries already have items to address her ultimate.
Clinkz
* Heroes that excel at grouping up with their team very early will be able to take advantage of a Clinkz that tries to pick off heroes that are alone: Brewmaster, Dazzle, Tidehunter.
Clinkz
* Heroes with high armor like Dragon Knight, or with abilities to cause attacks to miss like Phantom Assassin, Riki and Tinker will be hard to deal with, as Clinkz relies almost entirely on physical attacks.
Additional:
* The extra damage from Searing Arrows is largely blocked by Dragon Knight's armor.
* Clinkz has too low health to survive a gank.Getting stunned keeps him down long enough for a reaction.
* Breathe Fire reduces his damage, as he almost exclusively deals physical damage.
Clinkz
* Heroes who cannot fight back during Arena of Blood in the early and mid game: 
Abaddon, Anti-Mage, 
Broodmother, Luna, Sniper, Troll Warlord, Weaver, Clinkz.
Clinkz
* Heroes who rely on physical damage output to be effective will fare badly against Muerta's 
Pierce the Veil: Phantom Assassin, Terrorblade, Drow Ranger, 
Lifestealer, Anti-Mage, 
Alchemist, 
Lycan, Clinkz, Sniper.
Queen of Pain
* Heroes who rely on high mobility are especially vulnerable to Primal Roar: Storm Spirit, Ember Spirit, Queen of Pain.
Queen of Pain
* Blink and positioning is crucial for Queen of Pain. These factors are heavily countered by a good Glimpse.
* Static Storm is devastating for Queen as she relies heavily on her spells to inflict heavy burst damage.
Additional:
* 
Thunder Strike gives vision of Queen of Pain when she's trying to escape. When combined with 
Glimpse, her mobility and hit-and-run style can be negated.
* While in a team fight, 
Static Storm forces Queen of Pain to only use right-clicks.
* When combined with the 
Kinetic Field, she can only wait until she respawns.
Clinkz
* Heroes that can pick you off: Clinkz, Nyx Assassin, Puck, Riki.
Clinkz
* Spectre can instantly escape Burning Army or hunt Clinkz with 
Haunt.
* Spectre can catch up to him with 
Spectral Dagger, even if he uses Skeleton Walk.
* 
Desolate allows Spectre to hit Clinkz through Skeleton Walk.
* 
Dispersion makes Spectre tanky and also reflects some damage back to Clinkz.
Additional:
* Spectre can catch Clinkz with Spectral Dagger, even if he uses Skeleton Walk.
* Spectre can instantly reach a ratting Clinkz with Haunt.
* Desolate's damage will melt him quickly, as he's alone most of the time.
Clinkz
* Heroes with good escapes can usually outmaneuver and escape from Spectre: Slark, Clinkz, Weaver
Clinkz
* 
Untouchable prevents Clinkz from harassing Enchantress in lane by lowering his attack speed.
* 
Nature's Attendants helps Enchantress to sustain through Clinkz's harassment in lane.
Queen of Pain
* Heroes that can jump on her: Slark, Queen of Pain, Anti-Mage
Additional:
* Queen of Pain often relies more on abilities than right-clicks, making Untouchable nearly useless against her.
* Enchantress also has a lower health pool than Queen of Pain, making her vulnerable to Queen of Pain's damage burst.
Queen of Pain
* Husker is the kind of hero that likes to remain at low health, which is perfect for Queen of Pain to burst with Sonic Wave.
* She should be able to Blink away after he jumps on her with 
Life Break.
Clinkz
* Huskar's 
Berserker's Blood provides no protection against Clinkz's physical damage output.
* Huskar has no way to disrupt Clinkz's attacks and no way to kill Clinkz alone, as Clinkz can easily go invisible, teleport away, or even fight back.
* Clinkz will often build the items that counter Huskar and the items he usually builds. These include Black King Bar or Monkey King Bar for 
Heaven's Halberd, or a disable item like Scythe of Vyse or 
Bloodthorn to prevent him from using 
Inner Fire to disarm.
Queen of Pain
* Blink allows Quen of Pain to easily escape ganking or initiating attempts with Hookshot and Power Cogs.
Clinkz
* Searing Arrows makes Clinkz one of the hardest heroes for Clockwerk to lane against.
Queen of Pain
* Queen of Pain, for the most part, almost exclusively deals magical damage, ignoring Windranger's evasion from 
Windrun.
* Queen of Pain is also a common wielder of Orchid Malevolence, preventing Windranger from using her abilities for a while.
* Blink, when used correctly, allows Queen of Pain to dodge 
Powershot and 
Shackleshot.
Clinkz
* With Bloodthorn, Clinkz becomes a strong counter to heroes who rely on evasion and blind such as 
Windranger, Phantom Assassin, Troll Warlord and 
Keeper of the Light.
Queen of Pain
* Queen of Pain can be a good hero for dealing with Ember Spirit with Orchid Malevolence, her pure damage nuke in Sonic Wave and a slow in Shadow Strike. However, Queen of Pain can be punished by Ember Spirit, as his Searing Chains prevents her from getting Blink off.
Clinkz
* Ember Spirit's 
Flame Guard provides no protection against Clinkz's physical damage output.
* Ember Spirit's low armor and health make him easy to kill quickly if a teammate can hold him down.
* If Clinkz has farmed an item that can disable, he can sneak up to and hunt down Ember Spirit while he farms or split pushes alone.
Queen of Pain
* Heroes with high mobility can approach Sniper: Anti-Mage, 
Earth Spirit, 
Io, 
Nature's Prophet, 
Pangolier, Puck, Queen of Pain and most notably Riki.
Clinkz
* Invisible heroes all have the element of surprise. Provided they deal enough damage, Sniper should be vanquished very quickly: Clinkz, Riki, Bounty Hunter.
Queen of Pain
* Heroes with teleports to escape Solar Blind and Will-O-Wisp: Phantom Assassin, Puck, Queen of Pain, Storm Spirit
Clinkz
* With Bloodthorn, Clinkz becomes a strong counter to heroes who rely on evasion and blind such as Windranger, Phantom Assassin, Troll Warlord and Keeper of the Light.
Queen of Pain
* Heroes with mobility/escape mechanisms to dodge Ancient Apparition abilites, or to easily jump on him: Riki, Queen of Pain, Phantom Assassin, Windranger, Bounty Hunter, Spirit Breaker, 
Night Stalker, Storm Spirit, Juggernaut, etc.
Clinkz
* Ancient Apparition has no escape or reliable control and is very fragile, which makes him an easy target for anyone who can get on top of him, like Phantom Assassin or Clinkz.
Queen of Pain
* Queen of Pain can be an effective tool against Batrider in the game and on the line. She has long-range abilities such as 
Scream of Pain or Sonic Wave and a long-range type of attack, which is why she can keep Batrider at a distance all the time, and prevent him from attacking with 
Flaming Lasso or 
Firefly. Queen of Pain has an effective high-deceleration ability against Batrider - Shadow Strike, which is why he cannot quickly set fire to all enemies under Firefly and fly between all Queen of Pain allies. In addition, Queen of Pain has a wonderful escape in stock - Blink, which can save her at any moment in which batrider decides to attack

In addition, Queen of Pain has a wonderful escape in stock - Blink, which can save her at any moment in which batrider decides to attack
Clinkz
* Clinkz's Skeleton Walk allows him to easily sneak on Chen and bypass his creeps. It also allows him to escape from them.
* Clinkz can easily kill Chen's creeps with Death Pact and gain gold, health, damage and abilities from them when upgraded with Death Pact Steal creep abilities talent.
* Clinkz naturally loves buying 
Gleipnir, which allows him to easily root Chen and his creeps and to kill them more easily with Burning Barrage from 
Aghanim's Shard.
* Clinkz can kill Chen or any of his allies with his physical damage burst from 
Strafe, 
Tar Bomb and Burning Barrage from Aghanim's Shard before he can use Hand of God. Especially when Clinkz has Gleipnir and 
Daedalus. Clinkz can also buy Bloodthorn to prevent Chen from even trying to use Hand of God.
Queen of Pain
* Blink allows Queen of Pain to avoid ganks and keep her distance, preventing Monkey King from building up Jingu Mastery.
* Scream of Pain and Sonic Wave will hit Monkey King when he is disguised, or on a tree.
* The large AoE and low cooldown also helps Queen of Pain hit the real Monkey King inside of Wukong's Command.
Queen of Pain
* Queen of Pain usually outlanes Invoker, giving her team a significant early game advantage while Invoker is still farming.
* Blink allows Queen of Pain to escape from Invoker's combo if he doesn't have disables.
Clinkz
* Clinkz's item build often counters Hoodwink, including Black King Bar, Monkey King Bar, Heaven's Halberd, and Scythe of Vyse.
* Skeleton Walk can quickly escape Hoodwink abilities.
Queen of Pain
* Blink makes it hard for Gyrocopter to pin down Queen of Pain.
* Sonic Wave is very effective at ganking Gyrocopter in the early game.
Clinkz
* 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.
Queen of Pain
* Blink can instantly break Static Link, making it useless against her.
* Queen of Pain doesn't fully rely on her physical attack damage, so she can still fight after being hit with Static Link.
Clinkz
* Strafe, Tar Bomb and Burning Barrage from Aghanim's Shard allow Clinkz to quickly kill Io due to its low armor.
* Clinkz iz a hero that very often goes for Orchid Malevolence, and its upgrade Bloodthorn. Alternatively, Clinkz also loves to buy Gleipnir. And if Clinkz has both of them, he will be able to root and silence Io and prevent him from escaping with either 
Tether or 
Relocate.
Queen of Pain
* Queen of Pain can Blink to both escape and initiate onto Void Spirit.
* She is also a very common Orchid Malevolence carrier, which can prevent Void Spirit from contributing much in fights.
Clinkz
* Clinkz does not have any passive abilities at all, making 
Nethertoxin nearly useless.
* Viper's 
Corrosive Skin provides no protection against Clinkz's physical damage output.
Queen of Pain
* All of Queen of Pain's abilities are active, making Demonic Purge break from 
Aghanim's Scepter useless.
* However, Demonic Purge can help his allies kill a squishy Queen of Pain.
* Blink allows Queen of Pain to escape from Shadow Demon's abilities if he doesn't have disables.
* An attempt to save an ally using Disruption can easily become a perfect setup for a Sonic Wave for the enemy.
Clinkz
* Despite Clinkz's fragility, his harassment in the early game can be devastating; as he can kite Enigma and his Eidolons and claim their bounty with Burning Barrage and Tar Bomb.
* Clinkz often goes for a disabling item like Bloodthorn or Gleipnir, which allows him to cancel Enigma's 
Black Hole until Enigma gets Black King Bar. Gleipnir can also root Enigma, preventing him from using Blink Dagger to escape from Clinkz.
* Even with Black King Bar, Clinkz can still easily kill Enigma as all of his abilities ingore spell immunity, and Enigma is a very easy target for Burning Barrage, which means Clinkz can solo Enigma at any stage of the game unless Clinkz is caught in Black Hole.
Queen of Pain
* Queen of Pain can easily escape Chain Frost thanks to Blink.
* His low survivability makes an easy kill for Shadow Strike, Scream of Pain & Sonic Wave.
Clinkz
* Clinkz relies heavily on the physical damage provided by Burning Barrage and Searing Arrows, which completely overrides the capabilities of Rage.
* Lifestealer's lack of disables will struggle to pin Clinkz down while in Skeleton Walk, and can allow Clinkz to kite him.
Queen of Pain
* Heroes with mobility spells (such as Queen of Pain's Blink and 
Clockwerk with 
Hookshot) can easily avoid 
Lil' Shredder and 
Mortimer Kisses.
* Heroes with high movement speeds like 
Pugna and Meepo can run around, to, or away from Snapfire during Mortimer Kisses and dodge the projectiles easily due to their slow speed.
Clinkz
* Any hero that can outrange Plague Ward can neutralize them without putting themselves at risk of receiving Poison Sting: 
Arc Warden, 
Chen, Clinkz, Drow Ranger, 
Lina, Mirana, Nature's Prophet, Pugna and Sniper.
* Special mention to heroes that outrange Plague Ward after obtaining talents that increase attack range.
Queen of Pain

Queen of Pain
* Heroes with mobility spells can quickly escape from Stroke of Fate or break out of Soulbind: Anti-Mage, Queen of Pain, Morphling, Storm Spirit
Clinkz
* Due to Tiny's non-existent agility gain, high physical damage heroes are more effective against him (Clinkz, 
Templar Assassin, 
Ursa, 
Wraith King etc).
Queen of Pain

Leshrac, Enchantress, Queen of Pain
Queen of Pain
* Heroes with high burst damage: Lina, Lion, Luna, Nyx Assassin, Queen of Pain.

Clinkz

Clinkz
* With Bloodthorn, Clinkz becomes a strong counter to heroes who rely on evasion and blind such as Windranger, Phantom Assassin, Troll Warlord and Keeper of the Light.
Clinkz
* Any hero with high attack speed will be a threat to Phoenix when it initiates, as they can easily tear down a 
Supernova, perhaps even while debuffed by Fire Spirits: Juggernaut, Clinkz, Troll Warlord, 
Beastmaster, Lina.
Queen of Pain
* Heroes with escaping and disjointing abilities can be good against Juggernaut:Anti-Mage Riki, Queen of Pain, Puck, Storm Spirit, Ember Spirit, Slark etc.

Clinkz
* Heroes with invisibility and high mobility can jump on and focus down Earthshaker before he has a chance to initiate: Clinkz, Slark, Storm Spirit
Queen of Pain
* Dark Seer's only disable is Vacuum. Though he starts off with high armor and health, he'll eventually have a hard time dealing with high mobility heroes such as Weaver or Queen of Pain.
Queen of Pain
* Heroes who have a high mobility (Queen of Pain, Storm Spirit, Slark, etc.).

Queen of Pain
* Heroes with damage over time abilities can quickly eat through Gravekeeper's Cloak charges like 
Huskar, Jakiro and Queen of Pain.
Clinkz
* Heroes who can take advantage of Oracle's low mobility or catch him out of position, such as Clinkz and Anti-Mage, can easily pick him off.
Clinkz
* Heroes who can harass Omniknight out of lane will keep him weak in the mid game: Viper, Venomancer, Clinkz.
Queen of Pain
* Heroes that rely on their high mobility such as Queen of Pain, Slark and Weaver can be constantly engaged against due to your excellent ability to chase over any terrain. Make sure you carry true sight items (such as Dust of Appearance or 
Gem of True Sight) for invisible heroes that could potentially escape your clutches.
Queen of Pain
* Queen of Pain outlanes Storm Spirit due to the fact that it has long-range abilities: Shadow Strike and Scream Of Pain. Storm Spirit's damage from the 
Overload ability is not enough to interrupt her on the line, and the 
Static Remnant will never reach Queen Of Pain, as she will scatter her abilities from afar, which is why she will drive Storm Spirit off the line and get a lot of gold and level, after such a stage of the liner, Queen of Pain will very quickly buy Black King Bar and will not let Storm Spirit catch and kill her at the expense of 
Electric Vortex

Queen of Pain
* 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.
Queen of Pain
* Both Scream of Pain and Sonic Wave should hit Slark during his 
Shadow Dance.
Clinkz
* Heroes who rely on burst physical damage are affected by Lucky Shot's disarm: Terrorblade, 
Sven, Clinkz, Windranger, Alchemist, Dragon Knight, 
Legion Commander
Queen of Pain
* Heroes with considerable mobility can easily escape from a rolling Pangolier: Anti-Mage, Queen of Pain, 
Void Spirit, Storm Spirit, Ember Spirit, Earth Spirit, moreover, if a player is familiar with how Rolling Thunder works, they can adjust their movement to avoid it entirely and of course outplay the Pangolier player.
Clinkz
* Fragile carries with no reliable escaping mechanism can be bursted down in no time: Sniper, Drow Ranger, Clinkz
Queen of Pain
* Weak damage but high tick rate or persist in a long time: Slark, Gyrocopter, Queen of Pain, 
Shadow Shaman (Shackles), Jakiro, Pugna, 
Doom
* Heroes that can quickly deal damage to her, regardless of how weak they are, can easily break through her Refraction:
* Multiple attackers thanks to summoned units or clones: Meepo, Witch Doctor, Lycan, Enigma, Shadow Shaman
* Multiple attackers thanks to illusions: Phantom Lancer, Chaos Knight, Naga Siren (bonus for her 
Ensnare). Also despite the visual effects, Templar Assassin does not spill damage against illusions or buildings, so she is not a really good hero to clean up illusions.
* Weak damage but high tick rate or persist in a long time: Slark, Gyrocopter, Queen of Pain, Shadow Shaman (Shackles), Jakiro, Pugna, Doom
Queen of Pain
* 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, and it's all thanks to this single spell.
* Puck also has a silence in Waning Rift to prevent Queen of Pain from blinking away.
* Puck can provide 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.
Queen of Pain
* 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.
Queen of Pain
* All of Queen of Pain's abilities are worthy choices for Rubick to 
Spell Steal. In addition, he can cast her abilities from further distances than her thanks to 
Arcane Supremacy's increased cast range and spell amplification.
Clinkz
* Considering Rubick's abysmal armor, Rubick is a squishy target for Clinkz to gank on his own.
* None of his spells are useful except for Skeleton Walk.
* Clinkz usually builds Orchid Malevolence, which disables Rubick's ability to retaliate.
* Vast numbers of 
Sentry Wards are needed to deal with Clinkz because of Skeleton Walk, making it harder for Rubick to buy more expensive and more useful support items like 
Glimmer Cape or 
Mekansm.
Clinkz
* In general, Brewmaster's Cinder Brew and Thunder Clap makes him good against physical damage carries: Ursa, Clinkz, Faceless Void, Troll Warlord, Templar Assassin, Phantom Assassin.
Queen of Pain
* Blinking heroes like Anti-Mage or Queen of Pain can often chase down an injured Brewmaster after his ultimate expires.
Clinkz
* Heroes with high armor like Dragon Knight, or with abilities to cause attacks to miss like Phantom Assassin, Riki and Tinker will be hard to deal with, as Clinkz relies almost entirely on physical attacks.
Clinkz
* With Bloodthorn, Clinkz becomes a strong counter to heroes who rely on evasion and blind such as Windranger, Phantom Assassin, Troll Warlord and Keeper of the Light.
Queen of Pain
* Ghostship helps your team soak up damage from Sonic Wave and Scream of Pain.
* Queen of Pain can't escape easily from X Marks the Spot - Torrent combo.
* Outlanes Queen of Pain on the midline, due to the fact that Queen of Pain has a small reserve of health at the beginning of the game, and she suffers very much from 
Tidebringer, which is why she is forced to either spend money on 
Tango, or skip creeps and run for bounty runes, and Kunkka at this time will gain an advantage in level and gold.

* Kunkka will catch her in 
X Marks the Spot and allow his team to kill her for stun from 
Torrent, because Queen of Pain has no way to avoid the cross X Marks the Spot before buying Black King Bar.
Clinkz
* Clinkz's high damage output and insane attack speed late-game can take Kunkka out of the fight before it begins.
* Burning Barrage and Searing Arrows together can kill allies easily even under Ghostship's buff.
* Skeleton Walk can allow Clinkz to make a quick escape after Kunkka's combo, or even avoid it all together.
Queen of Pain
* Night Stalker has a huge, almost instant silence through
Crippling Fear. The main problem is that he can get it off while Queen of Pain barely has any vision of him if he creeps up to her during 
Dark Ascension. She'll have to play very carefully before she gets a 
Black King Bar or a 
Eul's Scepter of Divinity.
Clinkz
* The long silence at night prevents Clinkz from escaping with invisibility if Night Stalker can sneak up on him. He also has really low base health, so Night Stalker can usually kill him alone during one cast of Crippling Fear at night.
