Viper
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 4%)Beastmaster
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 2%)Tiny
* Primal Roar and the slow from Boars make kiting Tiny very easy.
Vengeful Spirit
* Heroes who relies on illusions and summons (Beastmaster,
Chaos Knight, etc.).
Chaos Knight
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 3%)Tiny
* Chaos Bolt and
Reality Rift makes Tiny's low mobility non existent.
* Chaos Strike means Chaos Knight will most likely survive longer in a duel between the two because Tiny has much lower attack speed.
* Chaos Knight has a 3.2 strength growth, making him one of the most tanky heroes and a very difficult target for Tiny to burst.
Vengeful Spirit
* Heroes who relies on illusions and summons (Beastmaster,
Chaos Knight, etc.).
Anti-Mage
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 11%)Vengeful Spirit
* Past the mid game, an isolated Vengeful Spirit makes for an easy kill for Anti-Mage.
* Magic Missile is the only disable Vengeful Spirit has against Anti-Mage, but he can either Blink away to disjoint the stun or reflect it back against Vengeful Spirit with
Counterspell.
* Nether Swap isn't very effective against Anti-Mage - if used offensively, Anti-Mage can simply blink away to safety, and if used defensively, Blink's low cooldown allows him to persistently chase as well.
Jakiro
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 12%)Tiny
* Liquid Fire reduces Tiny's already abysmal Attack Speed.
* If Tiny Tosses a hero onto Jakiro, he can react with Ice Path, and potentially Macropyre.

Phantom Lancer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)Vengeful Spirit

* Phantom Lancer is a natural Diffusal Blade carrier, which reduces Vengeful Spirit's low mana pool very quickly, leaving her defenseless.

* Phantom Rush with his illusions can chase Vengeful Spirit efficiently.
Necrophos
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 7%)Tiny

* Heartstopper Aura does substantial damage to Tiny as a result of his high max health.
* Ghost Shroud protects Necrophos from Tiny's physical damage with Tree Grab and Tree Volley.
Nyx Assassin
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 4%)Vengeful Spirit
* Vendetta disables Vengeance Aura and allows him to attack Vengeful Spirit with
Impale and
Mana Burn.
* Spiked Carapace is easy to use against a Wave of Terror or Magic Missile.
Skywrath Mage
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 10%)Vengeful Spirit
* Skywrath Mage should have the upper hand against Vengeful Spirit with Ancient Seal.
* Vengeful is highly dependant on her abilities and has no natural means to deal against silences.
* Her low attack range allows Skywrath Mage to easily bully her out of the lane.
Storm Spirit
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 6%)Vengeful Spirit
* Ball Lightning disjoints an incoming
Magic Missile, avoids
Wave Of Terror, and allows Storm Spirit to easily escape if he ever gets
Nether Swapped.
Bloodseeker
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 3%)Vengeful Spirit
* Nether Swap triggers extra damage from Rupture.
* Blood Rite sets up while Vengeful Spirit using her Nether Swap within a timed correctly.
Tidehunter
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)Vengeful Spirit

Spirit Breaker
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 9%)Vengeful Spirit
* Magic Missile has a considerably long cast time, making it difficult to stop Charge of Darkness with it.
* Other than Magic Missile, Vengeful Spirit has no way of canceling Nether Strike.
Sven
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 2%)Tiny
* 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.
Vengeful Spirit
* Fragile supports who die in a few hits against Sven's high physical damage: Crystal Maiden,
Vengeful Spirit,
Dark Willow.
Vengeful Spirit
* 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.
Rubick
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 25%)Vengeful Spirit
* Magic Missile is a solid damage source and lockdown that fits nicely with Rubick's kit.
* Rubick also acquires the secondary Magic Missile with
Aghanim's Shard.
* Wave of Terror can be used to scout an area to prevent juking or initiate with
Telekinesis, as well as reducing the armor of enemy team during a teamfight.

* With Aghanim's Shard, Rubick can lift himself up and drop quickly to a place of safety after the swap. Note that Rubick can only choose to either disable the enemy or save himself at one time with
Telekinesis.
Additional:
* All of Vengeful Spirit abilities are very good for Rubick to Spell Steal:
* Magic Missile provides an additional nuke/disable to pair with Fade Bolt and
Telekinesis, respectively.
* Wave of Terror serves as a good scouting/armor reduction skill that Rubick and his team can benefit from.
* Nether Swap complements Rubick's mobility and pairs well with other mobility items he usually builds. He can also use it to save an ally from danger.
Bristleback
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 43% pickrate: 1%)Tiny
* Tiny's nonexistent armor in the early game makes him very vulnerable to Quill Spray's large amounts of physical damage.
* Bristleback decreases Tiny's high burst damage against Bristleback.
* Viscous Nasal Goo can slow Tiny to a crawl and allows Bristleback to easily kite him with his high movement speed and Quill Spray's long range, as Tiny has no ability to escape.
Riki
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 13%)Vengeful Spirit
* Frail heroes who lacks mobility: Crystal Maiden,
Enigma,
Dark Willow,
Vengeful Spirit.

Phoenix, will greatly limit his Physical damage output.

Flaming Lasso,
Pudge with
Meat Hook and
Vengeful Spirit with
Nether Swap.

* Blade Fury protects Juggernaut from all of Tiny's magic burst damage.
Vengeful Spirit
* 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

Black King Bar, like
Sven.

Keeper of the Light etc can die quickly to Tiny's magic burst.
Huskar

* Heroes with abilities that reduce armor will make Huskar very vulnerable: Weaver,
Dazzle,

* Heroes who have a high mobility (Queen of Pain,
Storm Spirit,
Slark, etc.).

Tinker
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 56% pickrate: 11%)Tiny
* Heroes with Evasion or abilities that cause Tiny to miss like Phantom Assassin and
Tinker are very effective because of Tiny's low attack speed. Additionally,

Phantom Assassin
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 10%)Tiny
* Heroes with Evasion or abilities that cause Tiny to miss like Phantom Assassin and
Tinker are very effective because of Tiny's low attack speed. Additionally,
Monkey King Bar is not a good item for Tiny because of its reliance on high attack speed to proc for magical damage.

[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 4%)Tiny
* Due to Tiny's non-existent agility gain, high physical damage heroes are more effective against him (Clinkz,
Templar Assassin,
Ursa,
Wraith King etc).
Tiny
* Heroes that have disposable area-targeted spells can force her to undo her Meld: Leshrac,
Puck,
Tiny,
Jakiro,. An experienced Templar Assassin could try to use Refraction before Meld so she can tank through those damage without getting her Blink disabled.
Visage
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 2%)Tiny
* Familiars will easily be able to kite heroes with a short range or with low attack speed. For example, Tiny and
Undying have a very hard time killing Familiars.
Tiny
* Tiny can deal with Visage's
Gravekeeper's Cloak quickly, as Avalanche deals damage in enough instances to completely remove all 4 layers of the passive. With Visage's lower than average Armor, a well positioned stun can allow Tiny to kill Visage easily.

Avalanche removes a significant number of layers from Gravekeeper's Cloak. When combined with
Toss burns through all of Gravekeeper's Cloak while doing triple times Toss damage to Visage in midair.

About
This website was made to help you in pick stage of online game Dota 2. It calculates rating for each possible counterpicks based on tips from web-based database made up entirely of user contributions Dota 2 wiki.
You will get the list of recommended hero counters with a list of tips written by Dota 2 wiki contributors explaining why it's good against the particular hero. In comparison to other similar websites, which show only rating based on average hero win rate from dotabuff or similar service.
How to interpret this data
Take it with a bit of grain of salt, especially if the recommendation has a low rating (<= 1), some heroes
may win a lane in an early game but would lose in late game (and vice versa). That's why sometimes
you could hero names appearing as a counter and as being countered, as on image:
You can also add your own tips, update old data and fix mistakes by editing page on Dota 2 Wiki (it works like Wikipedia - anyone can contribute, you don't even need to register) these edits will appear on this website automatically (data is updated several times per week).
Right now there is no app/overlay that will detect picks automatically (like overwolf dota plus or become the gamer), instead, you can open web version in a steam in-game browser or use mobile version on your smartphone.
