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.
Night Stalker
* 
Bloodseeker's Rupture turns Night Stalker mobility against him and Thirst grants movement speed bonus and vision prevents Night Stalker from initiating and re-initiating.
Queen of Pain
* 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.
Additional:
* 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.
Night Stalker
* 
Night Stalker's most skills are single targeted which allows other Meepos to Poof, Earthbind and kill him.
Queen of Pain
* 
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.
Night Stalker
* Heroes that can punish aggressive heroes, such as: 
Leshrac, 
Shadow Demon, 
Pugna, 
Death Prophet.
Queen of Pain
* Heroes who rely on high mobility are especially vulnerable to Primal Roar: 
Storm Spirit, 
Ember Spirit, 
Queen of Pain.
Night Stalker
* Heroes with illusions and summons can manfight Night Stalker: 
Terrorblade, 
Beastmaster, 
Broodmother.
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.
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.
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.

* Queen of Pain's HP is abysmal, so Luna can quickly kill Queen of Pain as soon as she initiates with Blink.
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.
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.
Night Stalker
* Void's slow is useless against Lycan by activating 
Shapeshift.
* Night Stalker's single target abilities (with the exception of Void upgraded by 
Aghanim's Scepter) is not very effective against Lycan's 
Summon Wolves during the early and mid game.
Night Stalker
* 
Ensnare and 
Song of the Siren prevents Night Stalker from escaping and ganking during daytime or even nighttime.
* 
Rip Tide reduces Night Stalker's armor, making him easier to focus down.
* 
Mirror Image can be effective against Night Stalker, due to his single target abilities.
Additional:
* Mirror Image can be effective since Night Stalker cannot withstand fighting illusions. If he's unable to tell which Naga Siren is real, he will have a hard time landing his 
Void. However, if Night Stalker obtains an Aghanim's Scepter, the upgraded Void will hit and may even locate the real Naga Siren in fights.
Night Stalker
* 
Chaos Bolt can stun Night Stalker outside of Crippling Fears relatively small radius.
* 
Reality Rift is a great way to force Night Stalker to fight Chaos Knight, a hero with massive health and damage output. It also forces Night Stalker's Crippling Fear off his primary target.
* Night Stalker doesn't have a lot of ways to deal with multiple targets, which makes him vulnerable to 
Phantasm illusions unless Night Stalker buys Aghanim's Scepter.
Night Stalker
* 
Whirling Axes (Melee) provides a 60% miss chance, which can make the attack speed bonus from Hunter in the Night largely ineffective.
* 
Berserker's Rage together with 
Battle Trance and 
Fervor stacks gives him a high chance of rooting Night Stalker, which allows Troll Warlord to man-fight Night Stalker in any stage of the game, regardless of whether or not it's night.
* Night Stalker is not a common Monkey King Bar carrier to counteract this problem.
Night Stalker
* 
Warcry makes it difficult to burst Sven down with both the passive (with 
Aghanim's Shard) and active component.
* Sven under the effect of 
God's Strength and his massive physical damage make Sven very dangerous to engage in the mid game.
Night Stalker
* Void's slow is dispelled by 
Doppelganger or counteracted by 
Phantom Rush.
* 
Spirit Lance's and 
Diffusal Blade's slow reduces Night Stalker's mobility and helps him or his ally escape if they're inflicted by Void or Crippling Fear.
* Night Stalker has no AoE abilites to take out Phantom Lancer's illusions. Even if Night Stalker gets an Aghanim's Scepter, there will be way too many illusions for Night Stalker to handle.
Night Stalker
* Heroes with illusions and summons can manfight Night Stalker: Terrorblade, Beastmaster, Broodmother.
Night Stalker
* Heroes that rely on slows to get kills: 
Lifestealer, Night Stalker, 
Ursa, 
Phantom Assassin, Terrorblade.
Queen of Pain
* In general, squishy heroes that rely on escape often struggle against the amount of disables Shadow Shaman can bring. Queen of Pain, 
Anti-Mage and Storm Spirit are among these.
Additional:
* 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
* 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.
Night Stalker
* Heroes that can punish aggressive heroes, such as: Leshrac, Shadow Demon, Pugna, Death Prophet.
Night Stalker
* Heroes that can punish aggressive heroes, such as: Leshrac, Shadow Demon, Pugna, Death Prophet.
Night Stalker
* Heroes that are hard to gank: 
Dragon Knight, 
Mars, 
Centaur Warrunner.
Night Stalker
* Heroes that are hard to gank: Dragon Knight, Mars, Centaur Warrunner.
Night Stalker
* Heroes with illusions and summons can manfight Night Stalker: Terrorblade, Beastmaster, Broodmother.
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.
Night Stalker
* Heroes that have a weak laning stage: 
Spectre, 
Nyx Assassin, 
Clockwerk, 
Spirit Breaker, 
Omniknight, 
Pudge.
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.
Night Stalker
* Heroes with silence such as 
Riki, 
Silencer, or Night Stalker prevents Skywrath Mage from using his spells.
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

Night Stalker
* Heroes with low mobility that rely on spells: 
Zeus, 
Lina, 
Crystal Maiden.
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.
Night Stalker
* 
Crippling Fear is a good way to shut down and gank Invoker in the early game..
* Void deals good damage to Invoker and makes escaping harder.
* With 
Hunter in the Night and Void, Invoker can't get away from Night Stalker and won't be able to catch him with Sun Strike during the night.
Queen of Pain
* Heroes that have superior mobility that can easily catch up with Mirana even after she used Leap to escape: Anti-Mage, Queen of Pain, Storm Spirit, Riki.
Night Stalker
* The long silence of Crippling Fear at night prevents Mirana from escaping with Moonlight Shadow and Leap. She also has really low base health, so Night Stalker can usually kill her during one cast of Crippling Fear at night.
* With 
Dark Ascension and 
Gem of True Sight, Night Stalker can find and kill Mirana, and he is a tanky hero capable of fighting Mirana any stage of the game.
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.
Night Stalker
* Heroes with weaker mobility will struggle to keep up with Night Stalker: 
Gyrocopter, Ursa, 
Drow Ranger
Queen of Pain
* Heroes with teleports to escape Solar Blind and Will-O-Wisp: Phantom Assassin, 
Puck, Queen of Pain, Storm Spirit
Night Stalker
* Keeper of the Light's Aghanim's Scepter upgrade loses much of its power, due to Night Stalker being able to reduce the duration of daytime by a lot.
Additional:
* Crippling Fear prevents Keeper of the Light from using his spells to keep his team alive during team-fights.
* Dark Ascension is very strong against Keeper of the Light, as it allows Night Stalker to jump the backline and quickly kill the squishy Ezalor, especially when combined with the slow from Void.
Queen of Pain
* Heroes with high burst damage: Lina, 
Lion, 
Luna, Nyx Assassin, Queen of Pain.
Night Stalker
* Void can be used to cancel Requiem of Souls.
* Crippling Fear prevents Shadow Fiend from using Shadowraze or Requiem of Souls.
* With Dark Ascension and Gem of True Sight, Night Stalker can find and kill Shadow Fiend easily. He is also a tanky hero that can fight Shadow Fiend at any stage of the game.
Queen of Pain
* Blink allows Quen of Pain to easily escape ganking or initiating attempts with Hookshot and Power Cogs.
Night Stalker
* Heroes that have a weak laning stage: Spectre, Nyx Assassin, Clockwerk, Spirit Breaker, Omniknight, Pudge.
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.
Night Stalker
* Heroes with low health: 
Lich, Crystal Maiden, Lion.
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.
Night Stalker
* With Dark Ascension he can keep vision on Slark, disabling his Shadow Dance regeneration.
* Night Stalker is very fast so without the Pounce in lane, he can simply out distance him during the night.
* Slark is matched in night vision by only a few heroes, Night Stalker happens to be one of them.
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

Night Stalker
* Crippling Fear is a silence that can last up to 8 seconds during night, rendering Storm Spirit tied limited to his items in a fight.
* Dark Ascension allows Night Stalker to initiate on Storm Spirit across the impassable terrain around the middle lane, rendering Storm vulnerable in the early game and prevent him from snowballing.
Additional:
* Storm Spirit is absolutely helpless if caught within Night Stalker's silence range.
* Common items a Storm Spirit will build will not remove the AoE silence.
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.
Night Stalker
* 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.
Queen of Pain
* 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.
Night Stalker
* 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.
Night Stalker
* The long silence of Crippling Fear at night prevents Weaver from using his Shukuchi or Time Lapse.
* With Dark Ascension and Gem of True Sight, Night Stalker can easily find and probably kill Weaver.
* Hunter In the Night's attack speed bonus removes The Swarm's beetles very quickly.
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.
Night Stalker
* 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.
Queen of Pain
* Heroes who recklessly jump on Pudge with their gap-closing abilities will be easy targets for Pudge's Meat Hook and Dismember Combo: Phantom Assassin, Faceless Void, Queen of Pain etc.
Queen of Pain
* Heroes with a high degree of mobility and invisibility are hard to catch with Meat Hook: Ember Spirit, Riki, 
Clinkz, Queen of Pain.
Night Stalker
* Void's mini-stun and silence from Crippling Fear will stop Pudge from using Dismember or turning off his Rot.
* Night Stalker has naturally high health, strength gain and common itemization for survivability through magic resistance, making Night Stalker a poor target for Pudge.
Night Stalker
* Dark Ascension reduces vision for the enemy team, which makes it more difficult for Magnus to initiate with Blink Dagger and Reverse Polarity. It is also more likely that Night Stalker will scout out Magnus with Aghanim's Scepter and a Gem of True Sight, after which he can silence Magnus with Crippling Fear.
Queen of Pain
* Heroes reliant on abilities to output damage or escape can be shut down by Gust: Queen of Pain.
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.
Night Stalker
* Heroes with weaker mobility will struggle to keep up with Night Stalker: Gyrocopter, Ursa, Drow Ranger
Night Stalker
* 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.
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.
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.
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.
Night Stalker
* Night Stalker can easily find Tinker in the trees during Dark Ascension.
* Void's mini-stun will stop Rearm and 
Keen Conveyance
* Crippling Fear's silence will prevent Tinker from fighting back, as Tinker relies on his spells.
Additional:
* Night Stalker is one of the best heroes to find (and silence) Tinker in the trees during Dark Ascension.
Night Stalker
* Durable heroes can stand against Tusk during 1v1: 
Axe, Dragon Knight, Night Stalker, Centaur Warrunner, 
Wraith King and more.
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
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
* 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.
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.
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.
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.
Queen of Pain
* Timbersaw has a difficult time against magical and pure damage: Lina, Leshrac, 
Enchantress, Queen of Pain
Night Stalker
* Earthshaker must be careful not to use 
Blink Dagger or Aghanim's Scepter upgraded 
Enchant Totem to blink into Riki's 
Smoke Screen or Night Stalker's Crippling Fear, as these field effects will instantly silence Earthshaker and prevent him from initiating.
Additional:
* 
Fissure has a short stun and creates an impassable ridge. However, Night Stalker can fly over it during Dark Ascension.
* Night Stalker can find Earthshaker, disable his Blink Dagger with Void, and then take him out with Crippling Fear.
* Earthshaker may fail his blink combo against Night Stalker's team if he is not careful, as he can blink into the silence.
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
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.
Night Stalker
* Heroes that have a weak laning stage: Spectre, Nyx Assassin, Clockwerk, Spirit Breaker, Omniknight, Pudge.
Night Stalker
* Heroes that have a weak laning stage: Spectre, Nyx Assassin, Clockwerk, Spirit Breaker, Omniknight, Pudge.
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.
Night Stalker
* Heroes with low mobility that rely on spells: Zeus, Lina, Crystal Maiden.
Queen of Pain
* Blinking heroes like Anti-Mage or Queen of Pain can often chase down an injured Brewmaster after his ultimate expires.
Night Stalker
* Any heroes with silences can negate the majority of Outworld Destroyer's damage output: Death Prophet, Night Stalker, Drow Ranger, Doom .
Queen of Pain
* Heroes who have a high mobility (Queen of Pain, Storm Spirit, Slark, etc.).
Queen of Pain
* Heroes with strong area-of-effect damaging and/or disabling abilities will be able to intercept Underlord and his team when they exit from Fiend's Gate: Luna's Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Eclipse,

Echo Slam and Fissure, Puck's Dream Coil and Waning Rift, 
Winter Wyvern's 
Winter's Curse, Magnus's

Queen of Pain
* Heroes with damage over time abilities can quickly eat through Gravekeeper's Cloak charges like 
Huskar, Jakiro and Queen of Pain.
Night Stalker
* Heroes with long disables, like Lion, Night Stalker, or 
Legion Commander, can prevent Oracle from using spells or items.
Night Stalker
* Night Stalker's Crippling Fear at night prevents Shadow Walk for an extended period of time and his Void will make Phase Boots useless. If Night Stalker has True Sight, he can shutdown Bounty Hunter's sneak kill.
Night Stalker
* Heroes that have a weak laning stage: Spectre, Nyx Assassin, Clockwerk, Spirit Breaker, Omniknight, Pudge.
Night Stalker
* Heroes that have long silences, such as Night Stalker and Silencer, will prevent Abaddon from saving his allies effectively and disable the active component of Borrowed Time.
Night Stalker
* Heroes with stronger lane presence that can threaten to kill him: Batrider, Juggernaut, Ursa, Monkey King, Razor.
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

Night Stalker
* Heroes with stronger lane presence that can threaten to kill him: Batrider, Juggernaut, Ursa, Monkey King, Razor.
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.
Night Stalker
* Heroes with stronger lane presence that can threaten to kill him: Batrider, Juggernaut, Ursa, Monkey King, Razor.
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.
Night Stalker
* Phoenix turns night to day, overriding Dark Ascension during 
Supernova.
Night Stalker
* Void can interrupt 
Icarus Dive.
* His Crippling Fear's silence will shutdown a spell caster Phoenix.
* However, Phoenix punishes Night Stalker with Supernova because it will turn night into day, and it has a higher priority than Dark Ascension, effectively canceling the passive bonuses Night Stalker gets from Hunter in the Night.
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

* 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.
Night Stalker
* Crippling Fear makes it so Axe might use Blink Dagger right into an AoE silence in the middle of everyone.
* Void cripples Axe's already bad movement speed and attack speed.
* Hunter in the Night makes it impossible for Axe to catch up to fleeing or escape from Night Stalker during the night.
* Lastly, Dark Ascension gives full vision over Axe before he initiates, making the opponents all recognize his location immediately and allowing Night Stalker to prevent it or vocally tell his team if needed.
* Night Stalker has very high strength gain, even in the lane, so a successful Culling Blade is very unlikely.
* Axe's Blade Mail will likely do nothing to Night Stalker because of his high health and certain requirements for him to do the most damage to be true.
Night Stalker
* Heroes that can punish aggressive heroes, such as: Leshrac, Shadow Demon, Pugna, Death Prophet.
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.
Queen of Pain
* 
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.
Additional:
* 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.
Night Stalker
* Crippling Fear can silence Faceless Void for a long time, preventing him from using his Time Walk and Chronosphere.
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.
Night Stalker
* Crippling Fear silences nearby heroes and cannot be dispelled, which hinders Rubick's way to retaliate when being jumped on.
* With Hunter in the Night and Dark Ascension, Night Stalker can find Rubick easily in teamfights. The two spells grants more than enough damage to hunt Rubick down without defensive items.
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.
Night Stalker
* Crippling Fear makes Night Stalker one of the best early game gankers to shut down Anti-Mage.
* Night Stalker's low mana pool causes him to take little damage from Mana Void.
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.
Night Stalker
* Heroes with low mobility that rely on spells: Zeus, Lina, Crystal Maiden.
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.
Night Stalker
* Heroes with low health: Lich, Crystal Maiden, Lion.
Queen of Pain
* 
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.
Additional:
* 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.
Night Stalker
* May effortlessly get to and take down Disruptor.
* Void deals heavy single target damage and slow. Lacking innate escape mechanisms justs puts Disruptor in trouble
* Crippling Fear silences, and Disruptor is extremely dependant on abilities to work and to fend for himself.
* Hunter in the Night provides Night Stalker movement speed, attack speed and strengthens his abilities during night time, allowing him to easily catch up and obliterate Disruptor
* With Black King Bar, it's mostly assured to target down Disruptor.
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.
Night Stalker
* With Dark Ascension and Gem of True Sight, Night Stalker can easily find and kill Riki. Riki will also find it harder to kill the tanky Night Stalker than he would many other heroes.
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.
Queen of Pain
* Heroes who commonly buy Linken's Sphere: Luna, Weaver, Morphling, Queen of Pain, Ember Spirit.
Night Stalker
* Heroes with stronger lane presence that can threaten to kill him: Batrider, Juggernaut, Ursa, Monkey King, Razor.
Night Stalker
* Heroes with weaker mobility will struggle to keep up with Night Stalker: Gyrocopter, Ursa, Drow Ranger
Night Stalker
* Heroes with stronger lane presence that can threaten to kill him: Batrider, Juggernaut, Ursa, Monkey King, Razor.
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.
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.
