Sven
* Against her Untouchable, Sven is barely able to hit Enchantress even with his 
Black King Bar.
Beastmaster
* 
Untouchable negates Inner Beast's attack speed bonus, making her hard to kill even if stunned by Primal Roar.
* Enchantress can also take control of Beastmaster's summons.
Additional:
* 
Enchant can control Beastmaster's boars, mitigating his effectiveness during the laning stage and teamfights.
Sven
* Fate's Edict cripples many heroes who rely on attacks, such as 
Phantom Assassin, 
Sven, or 
Enchantress, without a dispel or a Black King Bar.
Beastmaster
* 
False Promise effectively nullifies Primal Roar's single-target initiation on allies.
* 
Purifying Flames kills Beastmaster's Hawk instantly and Boar with two casts.
Sven
* Sven can be easily kited since Weaver is a natural 
Linken's Sphere carrier and Sven relies on 
Storm Hammer to disable and kill a hero.
Beastmaster
* Heroes with Linken's Sphere as core item: 
Weaver, 
Morphling, 
Medusa.
Sven
* 
Keeper of the Light's AoE blind can keep Sven from landing hits.
Beastmaster
* 
Illuminate clears Beastmaster's summons and is effective against his push.
Sven
* 
Mana Shield makes it very hard for Sven to burst her within Storm Hammer's stun duration.
* 
Stone Gaze makes it very difficult for Sven to fight Medusa at any stage of the game.
* 
Mystic Snake can slow Sven down enough for allies to capitalize on his commitment in a fight.
Additional:
* Stone Gaze allows Medusa to easily kite and kill Sven.
* Mana Shield negates much of Sven's burst damage.
Beastmaster
* Heroes with Linken's Sphere as core item: Weaver, Morphling, Medusa.
Sven
* Heroes who can take advantage of God's Strength being on cooldown are also not great matchups, such as 
Templar Assassin, Morphling and 
Huskar.
Beastmaster
* Heroes with Linken's Sphere as core item: Weaver, Morphling, Medusa.
Beastmaster
* 
Aphotic Shield effectively nullifies Primal Roar's single-target initiation on allies.
* Even being initiated by Primal Roar, 
Borrowed Time can make Abaddon extremely difficult to kill.
Additional:
* 
Primal Roar can be instantly dispelled by Aphotic Shield.
* The debuffs from 
Wild Axes and 
Poison from 
Call of the Wild: Boar can also be dispelled by Aphotic Shield.
Sven
* 
Cloak and Dagger makes Sven unable to detect where Riki is until he shows or his team provides detection.
* 
Smoke Screen will make Sven miss attacks before he has his Black King Bar.
Sven
* Pugna can save allies with both healing or by making them ethereal but needs to be careful of Sven's 
Aghanim's Scepter purge.
Beastmaster
* Having many summons out will cause 
Echo Slam to deal extra damage.
Sven
* 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.
Sven
* Undying can use Decay not only to reduce Sven's maximum health, but also to reduce the damage he can deal with his ultimate.
* Zombies spawned by Tombstone together with Flesh Golem slow Sven down significantly. Landing Sven's powerful but somewhat slow right-click on Tombstone would be a waste.
Beastmaster
* 
Reactive Armor is very effective against Beastmaster's summons during laning stage and entire game.
* Timbersaw can quickly clear Beastmaster's summons with his nukes.
* 
Lotus Orb item for Timbersaw can difficult for Primal Roar.
Sven
* Heroes who can fight back easily are not ideal matchups for Sven, such as 
Troll Warlord as mentioned above, 
Lone Druid and Templar Assassin.
Sven
* Heroes that deal few, powerful instances of damage, like 
Oracle, 
Lion, or Sven, have a hard time breaking through Gravekeeper's Cloak.
Sven
* Heroes who can take advantage of God's Strength being on cooldown are also not great matchups, such as Templar Assassin, Morphling and Huskar.
Sven
* Sven is very vulnerable to chain stun such as Lion, 
Shadow Shaman or 
Magnus.
Sven
* Heroes who thrive on teamfights can be a problem, such as 
Venomancer, 
Necrophos, 
Centaur Warrunner...
Sven
* Tanky melee heroes that can easily be kited, which allows Outworld Destroyer to deal heavy damage with Arcane Orb from a distance: Sven, 
Underlord, 
Bristleback.
Sven
* Heroes who thrive on teamfights can be a problem, such as Venomancer, Necrophos, Centaur Warrunner...
Additional:
* His Heartstopper Aura deals the same gradual damage over time no matter how high Sven builds his strength or health pool up, and should he fall down to a certain percentage, his high health will no longer matter if Necrophos manages to land his Reaper's Scythe, killing him instantly. But it is best if Necrophos can either catch him off guard before he can possibly use his Black King Bar (which is an item Sven players commonly purchase), or bait him out of it.
* Ghost Shroud prevents Sven from hitting Necrophos, and if he doesn't have his Storm Hammer available, it could make him completely immune to Sven and allow Necrophos to easily kite him around.
Sven
* Heroes who thrive on teamfights can be a problem, such as Venomancer, Necrophos, Centaur Warrunner...
Sven
* Heroes that can prevent Sven from farming are very strong against him. Such as 
Riki and 
Bounty Hunter with their respective invisibility.
Sven
* Heroes that relies on armor or other type of physical damage negation are easy for Gyrocopter to take down during the early game with his magical damage: 
Axe, 
Dragon Knight, Sven.
Beastmaster
* Heroes who summon multiple units that are not spell immune. 
Nature's Prophet,
Lycan,
Beastmaster
Sven
* Heroes with naturally low mana can be easily shut down by E.M.P.: Sven, 
Tiny, 
Wraith King, 
Omniknight
Sven
* Heroes that lose a great amount of damage output and become less threatening: Phantom Assassin, Sven, 
Slark, 
Phantom Lancer.
* Once you have an Aghanim's Scepter, Shadow Demon instantly reaches a new power spike and becomes a counter for a variety of heroes that have strong passives.
* Heroes that lose a great amount of their tankiness and become easier to finish off: Bristleback, 
Spectre, Phantom Assassin, Enchantress, Dragon Knight.
* Heroes that lose a great amount of damage output and become less threatening: Phantom Assassin, Sven, Slark, Phantom Lancer.
* You can always stack camps and farm the scepter with Shadow Poison.
Sven
* Sven is very vulnerable to chain stun such as Lion, Shadow Shaman or Magnus.
Beastmaster
* Heroes with AoE abilities are a bane to Beastmaster's summons: 
Storm Spirit, Magnus, 
Pangolier.
Sven
* Any hero who can counter-initiate in anticipation without getting caught in Reverse Polarity: Sven, Omniknight, 
Enigma, 
Luna, 
Naga Siren, 
Mars, 
Jakiro, Venomancer, 
Elder Titan, 
Faceless Void, 
Rubick, Keeper of the Light, 
Pugna, 
Invoker, Spectre, 
Alchemist, 
Treant Protector, 
Lina, Oracle, 
Zeus, Shadow Shaman, 
Phoenix, 
Razor, Huskar, 
Batrider, 
Kunkka, 
Tidehunter, Wraith King, 
Sand King, Medusa, 
Dawnbreaker.
Beastmaster
* Heroes with summoned units don't fare well against Dawnbreaker. (Phantom Lancer ,Beastmaster ,Lycan).
Sven
* Heroes who can stun Sven even with an activated Black King Bar can be an issue: 
Clockwerk, Beastmaster.
Sven
* 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.
Sven
* Sven is very vulnerable to chain stun such as Lion, Shadow Shaman or Magnus.
Sven
* Heroes that rely on right-clicks will find themselves unable to damage opponents seriously after being affected by Static Link, like Sven, 
Bloodseeker, and 
Juggernaut.
Additional:
* 
Static Link saps Sven's insane attack damage, and goes through Black King Bar.
Sven
* Heroes that rely on physical damage are ineffective against Dragon Knight due to his high armor: Phantom Assassin,Bloodseeker, Lifestealer, Troll Warlord, Sven
Sven
* Batrider often hides in the trees to initiate on a target. As such, he has a slight edge against heroes that have no scouting tools and cannot see him coming, such as Lion or Sven.
Sven
* Muerta's attacks during 
Pierce the Veil ignore Sven's Warcry.
* Sven using 
God's Strength can be completely ignored by using Pierce the Veil.
* Sven with Aghanim's Scepter will still not be able to dispel Muerta's Ethereal form during Pierce the Veil.
* However, Sven is a natural purchaser of Black King Bar that can protect him from Pierce the Veil and the rest of Muerta's kit.
Beastmaster
* Heroes that have abilities to pierce spell immunity can give Muerta a hard time: 
Bane, Beastmaster, Magnus, Enigma, 
Pudge, Jakiro with Aghanim's Scepter upgraded 
Macropyre.
Sven
* 
Berserker's Call prevents Sven from bursting his targets before Axe can interfere. The worst kind of opponent for Sven is one who can stop him from attacking who he wants to, which is exactly what Axe does.
* 
Culling Blade may finish off Sven before he has the chance to lifesteal or run with Warcry.
* Axe is a very common 
Blade Mail carrier which will make very short work of a Sven with God's Strength activated.
Beastmaster
* Long lockdown is a great way to deal with Axe to prevent Berserker's Call from being used, heroes such as 
Legion Commander, Beastmaster and 
Primal Beast are good examples of this.
Beastmaster
* 
Frostbite kills boars instantly on the laning stage leading to either experience lead or disabling Beastmaster from using Boar
* 
Crystal Nova nukes and slows down the attack and movement speed of Beastmaster's summons.
* 
Freezing Field grants improved self armor, nukes and slows down Beastmaster and his summons.
Sven
* Fragile supports who die in a few hits against Sven's high physical damage: 
Crystal Maiden, 
Vengeful Spirit, 
Dark Willow.
Sven
* 
Avalanche and 
Toss will never be enough damage to take out Sven in a clean way.
* Tiny is very slow with low armour growth and does not buy items to sustain Sven's damage output.
Beastmaster
* Primal Roar and the slow from Boars make kiting Tiny very easy.
Sven
* 
Great Cleave will kill Lycan's summons very rapidly.
* Warcry will allow Sven and his allies to tank Lycan's damage, which is mainly physical.
* Storm Hammer will damage and stun Lycan's as well as his summons.
Beastmaster
* Primal Roar allows Beastmaster to keep Lycan in place after he used his Shapeshift.
Sven
* Great Cleave quickly destroys Chen's creeps in team fights, before they have a chance to do much.
Additional:
* Storm Hammer locks down Chen and his converted creeps.
* Great Cleave and God's Strength can destroy Chen and his creeps quickly.
* Warcry minimizes damage taken from creeps's attacks.
Beastmaster
* Wild Axes, Primal Roar and 
Drums of Slom can deal high damage to Chen and clear waves of his creeps.
* Even though Chen can take control of the Boar from 
Call of the Wild Boar at any time with 
Holy Persuasion, which could put Beastmaster in a disadvantage against Chen. Skilled Beastmaster can buy 
Helm of the Overlord to regain control of it to counter this problem.
* Smart Beastmaster can also buy 
Bloodthorn to prevent Chen from taking control of the Boar from Call of the Wild Boar and make Chen more vulnerable to Beastmaster.
Sven
* 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.
Beastmaster
* Heroes with illusions and summons can manfight Night Stalker: 
Terrorblade, Beastmaster, 
Broodmother.
Sven
* Great Cleave will devastate Meepo's clones. Against a closely packed group, Sven does not even need to target the clone with the lowest health.
Additional:
* Great Cleave and God's Strength can take down Meepo and his clones very quickly.
* The lack of spell immunity for Meepo's clones makes them vulnerable to Storm Hammer.
Beastmaster
* Because only one clone needs to be killed in order to kill Meepo, heroes that excel at singling out enemies can also be a detriment to him, such as Batrider, Beastmaster, Pudge and Clockwerk.
Sven
* Heroes who cannot prevent Sven from killing towers will often struggle from a small map very early, such as Phantom Assassin, Storm Spirit and Phantom Lancer.
Beastmaster
* Heroes with disables that ignore spell immunity will render Phantom Assassin quite useless in teamfights throughout the game: Axe, Enigma, Vengeful Spirit, 
Doom, Bane, Beastmaster, Pudge, Medusa, 
Warlock.
Sven
* Heroes who depends on illusions and summons: Naga Siren, 
Arc Warden, Broodmother will struggle against Great Cleave.
Beastmaster
* Heroes with summons or illusions can counter Flux, such as Beastmaster , 
Chen, or 
Shadow Demon.
Sven
* 
Doom generally does not impede Sven in any way, provided he has activated God's Strength beforehand.
Sven
* Great Cleave with God's Strength clears Terrorblade's illusions quickly.
* Storm Hammer's AoE stuns Terrorblade and his illusions.
* Warcry gives Sven and his allies armor to withstand Terrorblade's only-physical damage output.
Beastmaster
* The Hawk can easily find Monkey King while he is sitting on a tree.
* Wild Axes can knock out Monkey King from tree.
* Boars drastically reduce Monkey King's attack speed, making it harder for him to gain 
Jingu Mastery stacks.
Additional:
* Wild Axes can chop down trees, making it difficult for Monkey King to utilize Tree Dance well.
* 
Call of the Wild Hawk can scout Monkey King when he is perched on top of trees.
* Primal Roar can stun Monkey King for a lengthy duration even with spell immunity.
Sven
* God's Strength allows Sven to take down Death Prophet quickly, reducing the damage dealt over time from 
Exorcism.
* Warcry's bonus armour and movement speed is very useful for Sven and his teammates against Exorcism, which deals physical damage.
Beastmaster
* Wild Axes destroys large amounts of trees specially upgraded with Aghanim's Scepter,
Beastmaster
* Primal Roar and the slow from Boars makes kiting Ursa very easy.
Beastmaster
* Inner Beast helps Beastmaster's team destroy 
Supernova quickly.
Sven
* With God's Strength, Warlock Golem goes down in a matter of seconds. The two weaker golems granted by Aghanim's Scepter will fare worse due to Great Cleave hitting both.
* Storm Hammer upgraded with Aghanim's Scepter dispels 
Shadow Word.
Additional:
* God's Strength combined with Great Cleave destroys Chaotic Offering golems within seconds.
* Warcry gives Sven and his allies armor to help against Warlock's Golem's heavy physical damage and movement speed to help escape Upheaval.
* Storm Hammer disrupts Upheaval.
Beastmaster
* Beastmaster's Hawk can find Tinker easily while he is pushing or blinking into trees.
Sven
* Great Cleave and God's Strength destroys illusions in just a few hits.
* Storm Hammer's AoE stun will hit Phantom Lancer when he's grouped up with illusions.
* Sven's low mana causes him to take less damage from 
Diffusal Blade. This is further reduced by the armor bonus from Warcry.
Additional:
* Great Cleave and God's Strength cuts through Phantom Lancer's illusions in no time.
* Storm Hammer's AoE stun will hit Phantom Lancer and his illusions.
Sven
* Great Cleave clears Spiderlings quickly to increase gold income.
* Warcry shields Sven and his allies against Broodmother and her Spiderlings.
Additional:
* Great Cleave cleans up Spiderlings quicker than most spells, as it ignores their magic resistance.
* Sven is a natural Black King Bar carrier, protecting him from Silken Bola, Spawn Spiderlings and 
Orchid Malevolence.
* Warcry and God's Strength allow Sven to easily out-damage Broodmother.
Sven
* Storm Hammer interrupts Echo Stomp.
Beastmaster
* Wraith King's lack of area of effect spells makes him easily overwhelmed by Beastmaster's summons.
Beastmaster
* Heroes who rely on high mobility are especially vulnerable to Primal Roar: Storm Spirit, 
Ember Spirit, 
Queen of Pain.
Beastmaster
* Heroes with AoE abilities are a bane to Beastmaster's summons: Storm Spirit, Magnus, Pangolier.
Sven
* Heroes who cannot prevent Sven from killing towers will often struggle from a small map very early, such as Phantom Assassin, Storm Spirit and Phantom Lancer.
Beastmaster
* Heroes who rely on high mobility are especially vulnerable to Primal Roar: Storm Spirit, Ember Spirit, Queen of Pain.
Beastmaster
* Long ranged disables, especially those that pierce spell immunity, cancel Black Hole: Beastmaster's Primal Roar, Bane's 
Fiend's Grip, Faceless Void's 
Chronosphere, Magnus's 
Reverse Polarity, Axe's Berserker's Call, Pudge's
Meat Hook.
Sven
* Fragile supports who die in a few hits against Sven's high physical damage: Crystal Maiden, Vengeful Spirit, Dark Willow.
Sven
* Generally heroes who don't rely on magical damage, such as Sven, Phantom Assassin, and 
Outworld Destroyer, as they can practically ignore Flesh Heap's damage block.
Sven
* Strong laners are usually at a disadvantage because of how well Sven can jungle. Heroes such as 
Dark Seer. Underlord and Legion Commander may find that later Sven takes care of them very quickly after some jungle farming.
Additional:
* God's Strength makes Sven one of the worst heroes to Duel.
* Storm Hammer can be used to interrupt Duels.
* Warcry gives a big boost in passive defensive ability with the active component to nearby allies.
* With the Aghanim Shard Warcry also gives nearby allies passive increases.
Sven
* Late game heroes are Sven's favourite kind of opponent, such as 
Anti-Mage, Spectre and 
Shadow Fiend.
Sven
* Heroes who struggle to fight back against Sven at any point in the game are at a severe disadvantage: Alchemist, Anti-Mage, Crystal Maiden.
Sven
* Heroes with high armor and/or durability can handle Juggernaut's ultimate, such as Sven and Dragon Knight.
Additional:
* Warcry allows Sven to tank the damage from {Ability ID:Omnislash|Juggernaut} due to its high armour.
* However 
Blade fury provides spell immunity which blocks the stun from Storm hammer.
Beastmaster
* Heroes who rely on high mobility are especially vulnerable to Primal Roar: Storm Spirit, Ember Spirit, Queen of Pain.
Sven
* Heroes who cannot prevent Sven from killing supports will always be at a disadvantage in fights such as Lina, Slark and Zeus.
Additional:
* Sven has a high health pool and is a natural Black King Bar holder and is very hard to kill for Lina.
* Sven also has high physical damage, making it easy for him to burst her down.
Sven
* Side lanes with disables will greatly reduce the likeliness Void Spirit will be willing to rotate: Sven, Tiny, Wraith King, 
Ogre Magi.
Beastmaster
* Heroes with disables that go through spell immunity can end Bloodseeker before he has the chance to do anything: Batrider, Beastmaster
Beastmaster
* Skywrath Mage also has a terrible time fighting against anything that isn't a hero. His skills are mostly target-based and he has terrible strength and agility, he can easily be kited or harassed by illusion-based heroes like 
Chaos Knight and Phantom Lancer, or by Heroes that summon other units like Lone Druid, Lycan and Beastmaster.
Sven
* With the exception of Magic Missile (unless the player takes the Level 25 Talent "Magic Missile Pierces Spell Immunity"), all of Vengeful Spirit's spells ignore Spell Immunity. This also makes her good against heroes with built-in Spell Immunity like Lifestealer or Juggernaut or heroes that tend to pick up Black King Bar, like Sven.
Sven
* Fragile supports who die in a few hits against Sven's high physical damage: Crystal Maiden, Vengeful Spirit, Dark Willow.
Beastmaster
* Heroes who relies on illusions and summons (Beastmaster, Chaos Knight, etc.).
Sven
* A couple of nukers and disablers on the same lane can finish a squishy Luna efficiently despite a teammate's assistance: Sven + Shadow Shaman.
Sven
* Heroes who depends on illusions and summons: Naga Siren, Arc Warden, Broodmother will struggle against Great Cleave.
Sven
* Sven's Great Cleave can clear Anti-Mage's illusions from Manta Style and his high health pool and low mana, making Mana Void very ineffective, although keep in mind that Storm Hammer is extremely easy to reflect with a well-timed Counterspell.
Additional:
* Anti-Mage is fairly fragile, and cannot stand against Sven in a prolonged fight.
* Sven's Black King Bar and low base mana protects against 
Mana Break.
* Great Cleave destroys the illusions from Anti-Mage's 
Manta Style.
* Although Sven should be careful as a well-timed 
Counterspell can block and reflect Storm Hammer.
Sven
* Heroes who cannot prevent Sven from killing supports will always be at a disadvantage in fights such as Lina, Slark and Zeus.
Beastmaster
* Heroes with both illusions and summons, for Io has nothing to deal with multiple enemies at once outside from Spirits's weak area-of-effect: Beastmaster, Broodmother, Chaos Knight, Lycan, Naga Siren, Nature's Prophet, Phantom Lancer, Shadow Shaman, Terrorblade, 
Visage, Warlock, Wraith King.
Sven
* Late game heroes are Sven's favourite kind of opponent, such as Anti-Mage, Spectre and Shadow Fiend.
Sven
* Heroes who rely on burst physical damage are affected by Lucky Shot's disarm: Terrorblade, Sven, 
Clinkz, 
Windranger, Alchemist, Dragon Knight, Legion Commander
Beastmaster
* Heroes with AoE abilities are a bane to Beastmaster's summons: Storm Spirit, Magnus, Pangolier.
Sven
* Warcry's shields protects Sven and his teammates from 
Swashbuckle.
* With Black King Bar, Sven will be able to protect himself from most of Pangolier's skills.
Beastmaster
* Heroes with other kind of disables that pierce spell immunity can hold Pangolier in place during Rolling Thunder: Axe, Beastmaster, Enigma, Magnus, Pudge, Batrider, Bane, 
Winter Wyvern
Sven
* Other heroes that rely on physical attacks to deal damage and not their abilities: Troll Warlord, 
Sniper, 
Monkey King, Sven.
Sven
* Sven with Aghanim's Scepter can easily chase down Windranger and dispel her Windrun at the same time.
Sven
* Special mention to Sven as he may not be able to get close, but if he does, God's Strength will make very short work of Sniper.
Sven
* Past the early game, Sniper is an easy target for Sven to jump on with Aghanim's Scepter or Blink Dagger.
* Sven's high armour and health pool makes it difficult for Sniper to focus, as his main source of damage is his right click.
* Sniper is very squishy, and will not stand a chance against Sven head on.
Beastmaster
* Single-target disablers will have difficulty locking down a Chaos Knight with Phantasm active: Bane, Beastmaster, Bloodseeker, Clockwerk, Doom, Shadow Shaman.
Sven
* Great Cleave is very effective against Chaos Knight's illusions.
* Storm Hammer's radius can catch all of Chaos Knight's illusions at once, especially after 
Reality Rift.
* Warcry shields Sven and his teammates against Chaos Knight's burst physical damage.
Additional:
* Storm Hammer's faster projectile speed and cast time allows Sven to stun Chaos Knight and his illusions before he can cast Chaos Bolt.
* Warcry's armor bonus counteracts Reality Rift's debuff and reduces Chaos Knight's damage output.
* Great Cleave and God's Strength devastates Phantasm illusions.
Sven
* In general, attacks of the melee heroes who are entirely reliant on dealing physical damage and/or have very little to no area-of-effect abilities will make Underlord tickle and will have no effect against him, and will be unable to ambush Underlord and his team if Underlord chooses to use 
Fiend's GAte to get to a designated point of the map: Phantom Assassin, Terrorblade, Troll Warlord, 
Drow Ranger, Phantom Lancer, Chaos Knight, Sven, Wraith King, Bounty Hunter, Alchemist, Templar Assassin, 
Nyx Assassin, Bane.
Sven
* Strong laners are usually at a disadvantage because of how well Sven can jungle. Heroes such as Dark Seer. Underlord and Legion Commander may find that later Sven takes care of them very quickly after some jungle farming.
Sven
* Sven has no easy way to burn 
Refraction charges and needs help from teammates to kill TA successfully.
Beastmaster
* Attacks from Boars and the attack speed boost from Inner Beast will quickly wear down Refraction.
Beastmaster
* Heroes with strong dispels can remove Primal Roar's stun: 
Abaddon, Slark, Oracle.
Sven
* Heroes who cannot prevent Sven from killing supports will always be at a disadvantage in fights such as Lina, Slark and Zeus.
Beastmaster
* Heroes that rely on summons will suffer against Ion Shell, which kills them very quickly: Beastmaster, Broodmother, Enigma, Nature's Prophet, Visage, Warlock, Wraith King.
Sven
* Strong laners are usually at a disadvantage because of how well Sven can jungle. Heroes such as Dark Seer. Underlord and Legion Commander may find that later Sven takes care of them very quickly after some jungle farming.
Sven
* Melee heroes with low mobility can be kited and killed by Viper: Treant Protector, Kunkka, Alchemist, Troll Warlord, Wraith King, Tiny, Sven.
Beastmaster
* Illusion or summon-based heroes can be a problem to Viper due to his lack of AoE damage: Naga Siren, Phantom Lancer, Beastmaster
Sven
* 
Purification can heal allies while dealing pure damage to Sven.
* 
Heavenly Grace can remove Storm Hammer's debuff immediately or make it a very mediocre stun.
* 
Guardian Angel negates Sven's massive damage during God's Strength.
* It should also be noted Sven can remove Omniknight's active spells with Aghanim's Scepter.
Sven
* Although Sven relies often on physical damage, an Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Storm Hammer can dispel Guardian Angel with its wide radius.
Sven
* Sprout is good for trapping melee carries with no escape abilities: Sven, Alchemist, Lifestealer etc.
Sven
* Heroes with cleave damage: Sven, Magnus, Kunkka.
Sven
* 
Whirling Axes (Melee)'s blind makes Sven nearly useless in the early game and allows Troll Warlord to take him on comfortably.
* 
Battle Trance will mean Sven will never take Troll out in a 1vs1 with equal farm.
Additional:
* Berserker's Rage together with Troll Warlord's high attack speed gives Troll a high chance of rooting enemies, which allows Troll Warlord to man-fight Sven.
* Whirling Axes (Melee) provides a 60% miss chance, and the passive armor provided by Berserker's Rage makes Troll resilient to physical damage in early game. Sven's God's Strength is much less effective as a result.
* Beware that Sven can farm much faster than Troll Warlord by stacking ancients and clearing them with Great Cleave.
Beastmaster
* Primal Roar and the slow from Boars make kiting Troll Warlord very easy.
Sven
*
Cold Embrace saves any ally Sven initiates on and wastes the duration of God's Strength in team fights.
Winter's Curse can be devastating to Sven's team, as his massive damage can take out a teammate before there is much time to react.
*
Beastmaster
*
Cold Embrace mitigates Primal Roar's single-target initiation on allies.
Winter's Curse can turn Beastmaster's summons and Inner Beast against his teammate.
Inner Beast are very useful to attack his cursed teammate.
Primal Roar's single-target initiation on allies.
*
Additional:
* Beastmaster's summons and
* Cold Embrace effectively mitigates
