Mana Break prevents Warlock from casting his spells, particularly in the laning phase.
* 
Blink allows Anti-Mage to escape from Upheaval.
* 
Counterspell reduces damage from Shadow Word and Warlock's Golem's 
Permanent Immolation passive. Additionally, it can reflect Shadow Word and Fatal Bonds.
* 
Mana Void deals heavy damage after Anti-Mage has drained Warlock's large mana pool.
Brewmaster
* Blinking heroes like 
Anti-Mage or 
Queen of Pain can often chase down an injured Brewmaster after his ultimate expires.
Warlock
* Because all of Warlock's abilities are active abilities, silences can make his impact in fights minimal. Be cautious of heroes that carry silences like 
Death Prophet, 
Puck, and the aforementioned 
Silencer.
Brewmaster
* 
Exorcism kills Primal Split's units very quickly.
Warlock
* Spell Steal can easily stealing from 
Chaotic Offering is a better position. Build 
Aghanim's Scepter and 
Octarine Core make cooldown reduction abilities from Rubick and addition instanly Warlock's Golem from Chaotic Offering stollen.
* Telekinesis from Rubick can help stopped from 
Upheaval chancelled. Telekinesis also stopped from Upheaval with throw creeps and enemy hero touch down to Warlock. Rubick's can build 
Aghanim's Shard save the his allies trapped from Upheaval.
* Upheaval can stollen for Rubick passing positionning area from Upheaval. Alternative, already from Chaotic Offering via Spell steal also possible cancelled from Upheaval with ready build Aghanim's Scepter capable of stealing two abilities from Warlock's.
* 
Shadow Word stollen for Rubick can very helpful restore health from his allies. Addictionally, for Shadow Word stollen can reduction health from enemy heroes.
* 
Fatal Bonds makes Rubick simplify fighting from target.
Additional:

Spell Steal primarily Chaotic Offering.
* Rubick always purchase Aghanim's Scepter will additionally Rubick's instanly Chaotic Offering stolen although Warlock's without purchase Aghanim's Scepter.
* 
Telekinesis can cancelled Upheaval lift up Warlock's and also can cancel from Upheaval with nearby creeps and enemy hero from Telekinesis can throw and touch down to Warlock's. Additionally, Telekinesis can save allies from Upheaval trap will upgrade with Aghanim's Shard.
Brewmaster
* Heroes with strong team-fight abilities (especially ultimates) like 
Tidehunter, 
Brewmaster, Death Prophet, etc.
Warlock
* Ghostship helps your team soak up damage from Chaotic Offering and hit summons hard.
* Tidebringer clears summons later in the game.
* Most of your spells can interrupt Upheaval.
Brewmaster
* 
Hex's instant cast time will force Brewmaster into the awkward situation of needing some form of spell immunity or block to prevent being immediately hex upon blinking in, or wait until Shaman has used all his crowd control before entering a fight.
* Brewmaster also has no defense against Shadow Shaman lockdowns.
Brewmaster
* Outworld Destroyer's pure damage will mop up Primal Split's units very quickly.
Warlock
* Because Warlock's abilities are all active abilities, Silencer can make his impact minimal.
* 
Arcane Curse prevents Warlock from using his abilities without increasing it's duration, which since all of Warlock's abilities are actives it is very effective against him.
* 
Last Word can prevent Warlock from casting his Fatal Bonds, Chaotic Offering, and Upheaval combo.
* 
Global Silence can nullify Warlock's impact in fights by preventing him from casting Fatal Bonds and Chaotic Offering, or by interrupting his Upheaval.
Brewmaster
* 
Ancient Seal's instant cast time will often silence Brewmaster before he can do anything.
* Brewmaster also has no defense against Skywrath Mage's massive magical damage.
Warlock
* Upheaval does not interrupt Slark too much, as he can just Pounce out of the area.
* Fatal Bonds and Shadow Word can be dispelled by Dark Pact.
Warlock
* 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.
Warlock
* A pre-placed 
Fire Remnant allows Ember Spirit to escape Upheaval.
* 
Flame Guard blocks Shadow Word's damage.
* 
Sleight of Fist allows Ember Spirit to attack from outside of Upheaval's range, and 
Searing Chains lets him interrupt it.
Warlock
* Heroes with channeling spells are very easy targets for Jakiro's abilities: 
Crystal Maiden, 
Dawnbreaker, 
Enigma, 
Pudge, 
Shadow Fiend, 
Shadow Shaman, 
Warlock.
Warlock
* Warlock is a very strong hero when positioned correctly, and his long cast range helps him with this. However, some Heroes might disrupt or sneakily pass through his allies and deal with him, preventing him from doing his job. Such heroes include 
Chaos Knight, 
Spirit Breaker, 
Riki, and more.
Warlock
* Heroes that have small health pools and little to no escape mechanisms are even easier prey for Necrophos. Ghost Shroud's slow will allow him to catch him with them, and get nuked down with his abilities, even preventing retaliation due to Reaper's Scythe's stun. Such heroes include Crystal Maiden, 
Witch Doctor, Warlock or Shadow Fiend.
Warlock
* 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.
Additional:
* 
Surge allows for Dark Seer and his allies to escape from Upheaval due to it ignoring any slow.
Brewmaster
* Blinking heroes like Anti-Mage or Queen of Pain can often chase down an injured Brewmaster after his ultimate expires.
Warlock
* Heroes who rely on summons will see them destroyed easily by Overwhelming Odds: 
Lycan, 
Arc Warden, Warlock, 
Chen
Warlock
* Because all of Warlock's abilities are active abilities, silences can make his impact in fights minimal. Be cautious of heroes that carry silences like Death Prophet, Puck, and the aforementioned Silencer.
Warlock
* Supports with useful teamfight or contribution spells will be helpless against Doom: 
Dazzle, 
Oracle, Warlock.
Brewmaster
* After Brewmaster has committed Thunder Clap and Cinder Brew to gank, Bane can use 
Nightmare on Brewmaster to wait out the debuffs, and might even turn the tables by buying time for allied reinforcements.
* Bane can also prevent Brewmaster from using Primal Split with his long disables.
Warlock
* Heroes with illusions and summons can swarm Bane, who has no area abilities outside from Aghanim's Shard upgraded 
Brain Sap: Broodmother, Chaos Knight, 
Naga Siren, Nature's Prophet, 
Phantom Lancer, 
Terrorblade, Visage, Warlock, Wraith King.
Brewmaster
* 
Hex's instant cast time will force Brewmaster into the awkward situation of needing some form of spell immunity or block to prevent being immediately hex upon blinking in, or wait until Lion has used all his crowd control before entering a fight. His direct magic burst also makes Brewmaster's Drunken Brawler worthless versus Lion.
Warlock
* While heroes with strong mobility are able to get close or flee from Upheaval, heroes with no escaping abilities or that lack long disables will perish against Warlock. Once the Warlock Golem lands with its stun, its hardly possible to escape when he casts Upheaval. Notable examples: 
Huskar, 
Drow Ranger, 
Lion, 
Elder Titan, etc.
Warlock
* Warlock Golems do plenty of physical and pure damage to bring down Huskar when he is at low health. Warlock is always a hazard for Huskar to initiate by using 
Life Break, because Chaotic Offering can stun him instantly, even when 
Black King Bar is activated, and allows Warlock's team to gather their wit and retaliate.
* After using Life Break to jump in, Huskar will not have any means to escape Upheaval. Which since he is an attack-dependent hero, this will nullify his impact in fights.
Brewmaster
* Brewmaster can use Cyclone to disable Huskar's healer for much longer than most other heroes can, to make Huskar vulnerable.
* Huskar has no way to stop Brewmaster from using Primal Split by himself, but can cut a good amount of his high health away if Huskar's team wants to burst Brewmaster down during a different disable.
Warlock
* Chaotic Offering's spell immunity piercing stun can stop Black Hole's channeling. Due to this ability's large area of effect, it can be cast at a safe distance from the Black Hole. It also goes through Black King Bar and ignores 
Linken's Sphere.
* Fatal Bonds and Aghanim's Shard upgraded Shadow Word can be used to make Enigma's Eidolons easier to kill, potentially feeding the enemy team. Also,their constant damage will put 
Blink Dagger on cooldown, potentially forcing Enigma to prematurely activate Black King Bar.
Additional:
* Chaotic Offering pierces spell immunity and is an area of effect ability, therefore it doesn't matter if Enigma buys Black King Bar or Linken's Sphere, Warlock will always be able to cancel the channeling of 
Black Hole.
* Enemies often get clumped up around Black Hole to hit your allies, giving you a perfect opportunity to cast Fatal Bonds, Chaotic Offering, and Upheaval on multiple enemies.
Brewmaster
* Heroes who produce many summons will have a hard time against Storm's Dispel Magic during teamfight: Broodmother, Enigma, Nature's Prophet.
Warlock
* While heroes with strong mobility are able to get close or flee from Upheaval, heroes with no escaping abilities or that lack long disables will perish against Warlock. Once the Warlock Golem lands with its stun, its hardly possible to escape when he casts Upheaval. Notable examples: Huskar, Drow Ranger, Lion, Elder Titan, etc.
Brewmaster
* {U:Earth} has passive 
Spell Immunity, allowing him to walk into the Echo Stomp radius to stun Elder Titan with his 
Hurl Boulder.
* {U:Storm}'s 
Cyclone can cancel the channeling of Echo Stomp and take Elder Titan out of the fight for {show:A|Storm|Cyclone|value2} seconds.
Warlock
* Heroes with illusions and summons can be hard for Phantom Assassin to deal with, as she lacks any AoE abilities to deal with them without items: Broodmother, Phantom Lancer, Chaos Knight, Lycan, Naga Siren, Shadow Shaman, Visage, Nature's Prophet, Terrorblade, Warlock, Wraith King.
Brewmaster
* 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.
Brewmaster
* 
Cinder Brew and 
Drunken Brawler makes it hard for Monkey King to stack Jingu Mastery.
* Cyclone can remove Monkey king for 6 seconds if his allies lack dispels.
* 
Dispel Magic can dispel Jingu Mastery's bonuses.
Warlock
* Fragile supports with low armor are always a good prey, also her Psionic Trap will wear down most attempts to flee with their built-in disables: Silencer, Crystal Maiden, Warlock, 
Ancient Apparition, 
Grimstroke, Witch Doctor
Warlock
* Because Templar Assassin does not have escape potential in lane, any support hero with roaming potential and a 
Dust of Appearance can be great at shutting her down early game: 
Earth Spirit, Spirit Breaker, 
Tusk, 
Bounty Hunter, Riki, Warlock.
Additional:
* Warlock can cast Upheaval when Templar Assassin uses 
Meld, preventing her from escaping at the right moment.
* Warlock can also send his Warlock Golem near where she used Meld, preventing escape by Blink Dagger due to the Warlock Golem's Permanent Immolation.
* Warlock's Golem's Permanent Immolation will burn away 
Refraction with its damage over time.
Brewmaster
* The three Primal Split brewlings all attacking Templar Assassin at once will remove her Refraction quickly, especially with Fire's Permanent Immolation.
* Templar Assassin has no way to stop Brewmaster from using Primal Split by herself, and may get unlucky and miss her Meld if trying to burst him during her ally's disable.
Warlock
* Chaotic Offering's vast area-effect can destroy trees and stun Hoodwink.
* Upheaval makes retreating with 
Scurry difficult.
Brewmaster
* Dispel Magic from {U:Storm} instantly removes Heavenly Grace and Guardian Angel from Omniknight's allies in its radius of effect.
Warlock
* Warlock has strong counter initiation which reduces Marci's effectiveness throughout the game.
* Fatal Bonds cancels Blink Dagger, which means Marci can move in and out of fights less effectively.
* Chaotic Offering paired with Upheaval provides a ministun, a movement slow and paired with Fatal Bonds has the potential to deal a lot of damage to Marci while she jumps on a target. The ministun also means that Marci will have a harder time casting Rebound. If Warlock does build Aghanim's Scepter and 
Refresher Orb, the physical damage from Golems will overwhelm Marci, especially when played as a support.
Brewmaster
* {U:Storm} can use Cyclone on Abaddon when he activates Borrowed Time, wasting its duration.
* Drunken Brawler and 
Thunder Clap hinder Abaddon from applying Curse of Avernus' silence on him.
Additional:
* Dispel Magic can remove Abaddon's 
Aphotic Shield or 
Curse of Avernus on an allied hero.
* Cyclone's lengthy duration wastes much of 
Borrowed Time's duration.
Warlock
* Fatal Bonds links the Meepos together, which combined with area of effect damage or Cleave will be devastating.
Brewmaster
* Brewmaster can make the Spirit Bear a much smaller threat with Cinder Brew.
* Cyclone removes the bear from a fight so that his team can easily focus on the hero.
* While most heroes would be worn down by a Spirit Bear 
Radiance in the time it takes to kill Lone Druid, Brewmaster is protected in Primal Split.
Warlock
* Channeling heroes will not go well against Warlock, especially those who build Black King Bar as Warlock's ultimate ability stun goes through spell immunity. E.g.: Crystal Maiden, Witch Doctor, Enigma, etc.
Brewmaster
* Brewmaster with 
Primal Split
* Heroes that can dodge Glimpse:
* Puck with 
Phase Shift
* Riki with 
Tricks of the Trade
* Phantom Lancer with 
Doppelganger
* 
Ember Spirit with Sleight of Fist and 
Activate Fire Remnant
* Chaos Knight with 
Phantasm
* Naga Siren with 
Mirror Image
* Tusk with 
Snowball
* 
Juggernaut with 
Omnislash
* Brewmaster with Primal Split
* 
Lifestealer with 
Infest
* 
Phoenix with 
Supernova
Warlock
* While heroes with strong mobility are able to get close or flee from Upheaval, heroes with no escaping abilities or that lack long disables will perish against Warlock. Once the Warlock Golem lands with its stun, its hardly possible to escape when he casts Upheaval. Notable examples: Huskar, Drow Ranger, Lion, Elder Titan, etc.
Warlock
* Heroes with channeling spells because Shadow Fiend has nothing to cancel channeling outside of Requiem of Souls: 
Bane, Enigma, Pudge, Shadow Shaman, Dawnbreaker, Warlock, Crystal Maiden.
Additional:
* Because Shadow Fiend lacks escaping mechanisms, and is dependent on fair positioning for channeling 
Requiem of Souls, it's easier for Warlock with his long range crowd control abilities to lock Shadow Fiend down for his team.
Warlock
* Chaotic Offering can stop heroes who like to use spell immunity and teleport scrolls to safely farm during the early to mid game, since it stuns and also goes through spell immunity. Notable examples: Juggernaut, Lifestealer.
Warlock
* Viper cannot interrupt heroes with powerful channeling abilities: Bane, Enigma, Shadow Shaman, Warlock
Brewmaster
* 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.
Additional:
* Thunder Clap and Drunken Brawler prevent Faceless Void from maximising his damage potential in fights.
* Cyclone disables Faceless Void during Chronosphere or in general.
Brewmaster
* Heroes who produce many summons will have a hard time against Storm's Dispel Magic during teamfight: Broodmother, Enigma, Nature's Prophet.
Warlock
* Warlock often stays back and counter-initiates by dropping his Chaotic Offering on Earthshaker and his allies.
Warlock
* Heroes with summons: Lycan, Broodmother, Visage, Nature's Prophet, Warlock.
Brewmaster
* 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.
Brewmaster
* Heroes who produce many summons will have a hard time against Storm's Dispel Magic during teamfight: Broodmother, Enigma, Nature's Prophet.
Brewmaster
* 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.
Warlock
* Channeling heroes will not go well against Warlock, especially those who build Black King Bar as Warlock's ultimate ability stun goes through spell immunity. E.g.: Crystal Maiden, Witch Doctor, Enigma, etc.
Warlock
* 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.
Brewmaster
* Heroes with area dispel can kill multiple skeletons at once: Brewmaster, Oracle.
Warlock
* Illusion and heroes with summons are difficult to kill with Chen's single-target offensive spells: Terrorblade, Phantom Lancer, Chaos Knight, Broodmother, Naga Siren, Lycan, Visage, Beastmaster, Warlock, Wraith King. And even though Chen can convert enemy summons with Holy Persuasion, their much greater numbers will often overwhelm Chen and his creeps.
Warlock
* Ursa can shred Warlock's Golems in a few seconds with 
Fury Swipes and 
Overpower.
Brewmaster
* If Ursa uses 
Enrage Brewmaster can use Cyclone to render him harmless during his ultimate.
* Brewmaster has two spells to slow down Ursa, allowing his team to kite around him easily.
Warlock
* Warlock is a very strong hero when positioned correctly, and his long cast range helps him with this. However, some Heroes might disrupt or sneakily pass through his allies and deal with him, preventing him from doing his job. Such heroes include Chaos Knight, Spirit Breaker, Riki, and more.
Brewmaster
* Storm's Dispel Magic combined with Thunder Clap deals high damage against Chaos Knight's illusions even in the late game.
* Chaos Knight's reliance on physical damage is easily hindered by Drunken Brawler.
* Chaos Knight's lack of area effect and mobility makes him easily overwhelmed by Primal Split.
Additional:
* Dispel Magic from {U:Storm} can instantly kill Phantasms early on, and can still deal a lot of damage to them late game, revealing the real Chaos Knight.
Warlock
* Warlock is a very strong hero when positioned correctly, and his long cast range helps him with this. However, some Heroes might disrupt or sneakily pass through his allies and deal with him, preventing him from doing his job. Such heroes include Chaos Knight, Spirit Breaker, Riki, and more.
Warlock
* Heroes with summons and illusions as Spirit Breaker has no strong AoE capabilities to deal with them: Chaos Knight, Phantom Lancer, Terrorblade, Naga Siren, Broodmother, Warlock, Visage, Nature's Prophet, Shadow Shaman, Lycan.
Warlock
* 
Ice Blast cancels Warlock's Golem's and Shadow Word's healing.
* 
Cold Feet stuns Warlock if he stands in place, forcing him to stop channeling Upheaval immediately or be forced to stop channeling it by it's stun.
Brewmaster
* Primal Split makes Brewmaster invulnerable for the duration, rendering effects of Cold Feet and Ice Blast useless.
* Dispel Magic can dispel Cold Feet from allies.
* Brewmaster can easily run Ancient Apparition down with the slow from Thunder Clap and Cinder Brew.
Warlock
* 
Shapeshift allows Lycan to escape from Upheaval with maximum movement speed.
* Warlock doesn't have a good solution to deal with Lycan's wolves from 
Summon Wolves.
Brewmaster
* Brewmaster can waste a large portion of Lycan's ultimate by putting him in Cyclone.
* Lycan has no way to stop Brewmaster from using Primal Split by himself.
* Lycan's team often tries to push towers as a group, and Brewmaster excels at winning teamfights while trying to defend a tower.
Warlock
* 
Impale and 
Spiked Carapace interrupts Upheaval with ease.
* Warlock's low health pool, mobility, and high intelligence gain makes him a prime target for Nyx Assassin's burst damage.
Brewmaster
* Cyclone from Storm in Primal Split can waste Nyx's Spiked Carapace, since its duration is shorter than the Cyclone's.
Warlock
* Weaver's
Shukuchi allows him to escape from Warlock's Upheaval with high move speed.
Time Lapse allows Weaver to ignore damage from Warlock's Golem and escape.
*
Brewmaster
* Brewmaster is slow and has low armor, making his laning stage very difficult against Geminate Attack.
Hurl Boulder, which can be disjointed, he has no control to catch Weaver.
* Apart from the slow moving
