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.
Lycan
* 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.
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.
Lycan
* 
Lycan cannot escape from a Pounce even if he uses 
Shapeshift, and has no disabling abilities to stop Slark.
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.
Lycan
* Heroes that heavily depend on illusions or summons, (
Naga Siren, 
Terrorblade, 
Phantom Lancer, Lycan,...) are vulnerable to Sleight of Fist and even more so if Ember Spirit has 
Battle Fury.
Warlock
* Heroes with channeling spells are very easy targets for Jakiro's abilities: 
Crystal Maiden, 
Dawnbreaker, 
Enigma, 
Pudge, 
Shadow Fiend, 
Shadow Shaman, 
Warlock.
Lycan
* Jakiro's area-of-effect abilities make him strong against heroes who rely on illusions and summons: Terrorblade, Naga Siren 
Chaos Knight, Phantom Lancer, 
Broodmother, 
Nature's Prophet, Lycan, 
Wraith King, 
Visage.
Warlock
* Heroes who rely on summons will see them destroyed easily by Overwhelming Odds: Lycan, 
Arc Warden, Warlock, 
Chen
Lycan
* Heroes who rely on summons will see them destroyed easily by Overwhelming Odds: Lycan, Arc Warden, Warlock, Chen
Warlock
* 
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.
Lycan
* Lycan is a hero focused entirely on single target physical damage and lacks disables or AoE damage. Due to this, he will have difficulties dealing with illusions or Naga Siren's Ensnare.
Lycan
* 
Arctic Burn allows Winter Wyvern to escape Lycan, even when he uses his ultimate.
* 
Splinter Blast is very effective in dealing with Lycan's summons.
* 
Cold Embrace saves allies from Lycan's raw physical damage and can buy allies enough time to turn the tide of battle.
* 
Winter's Curse stops Lycan in his tracks and is very effective because of his summons.
Additional:
* All of Lycan's damage is physical which is totally negated by Cold Embrace.
* Lycan often moves around with large amount of creeps, wolves created by 
Summon Wolves and neutral creep dominated by 
Helm of the Dominator which can be easily cleared by Splinter Blast or used as a great source of damage by Winter's Curse. If you catch Lycan with creeps nearby and affected by Shapeshift using Winter's Curse on him will most certainly end up with his death.
Lycan
* 
Stroke of Fate deals more damage when it hits more targets which makes it very effective in dealing with Lycan and his units.
* 
Soulbind prevents Lycan from running away and makes him very easy to deal with.
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.
Lycan
* 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.
Lycan
* Rupture completely negates Lycan's high mobility.
* All of Lycan's summons are good sources of healing with Bloodrage.
Additional:
* 
Rupture completely negates Lycan's high mobility.
* All of Lycan's summons are good sources of healing with 
Bloodrage.
Lycan
* 
Quill Spray can be used to kill Lycan's summons.
* 
Bristleback allows him to stay alive against Lycan while dishing out counter attacks
* He can overpower Lycan with his 
Warpath instead.
Additional:
* Lycan's wolves deal little damage to Bristleback, and are easily killed by Quill Spray, even when they're invisible.
* Lycan's lack of burst damage makes it very hard for him to kill Bristleback, especially when his back is turned.
Warlock
* 
Surge allows for Dark Seer and his allies to escape from Upheaval due to it ignoring any slow.
Lycan
* 
Kraken Shell grants him massive physical attack protection
* 
Anchor Smash will wipe the area, clearing Lycan's wolves.
Lycan
* Her 
Mana Shield is too tough for Lycan to break.
* 
Mystic Snake can hit for a massive damage once it spread between his summons.
Additional:
* Can be easily petrified despite his speed.
* Summoned wolves will be targeted by Split Shot or Mystic Snake
Lycan
* 
Primal Roar allows Beastmaster to keep Lycan in place after he used his Shapeshift.
Warlock
* All abilities from Warlock is very vulnearble stealing by Rubick with 
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.
Additional:
* 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.
Lycan
* All of Timbersaw's spells deal AoE damage, killing Lycan's summons very quickly.
* 
Reactive Armor will gain stacks quickly because of Lycan's summons.
Lycan
* 
Treant Protector grants protection against his attacks with 
Living Armor and his ultimate, 
Overgrowth is a massive AoE disarm and root that pierces spell immunity, causing trouble to Lycan. You will find yourself in need of an ally's dispel or forced to pop 
Black King Bar for its dispel.
Additional:
* Lycan has no kind of teleport, being only able to walk, and heavily relies on his attacks. As Overgrowth roots and disarms the targets, Lycan can't do much in an overgrowth field.
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
* 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.
Lycan
* 
Pugna's 
Decrepify prevents the target from taking physical damage or doing damage, which poses a huge problem for Lycan, as he mainly deals physical damage.
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.
Lycan
* Heroes who rely strongly on melee physical damage will fare badly against Omniknight's Guardian Angel: 
Phantom Assassin, 
Juggernaut, 
Dragon Knight, Lycan, 
Ursa, 
Troll Warlord
Additional:
* 
Guardian Angel completely negates all of Lycan's damage since Lycan mainly deals physical damage.
* 
Purification can also be a problem for Lycan, as Purification deals damage around the target, which poses a problem for him and his summons.
Lycan
* Heroes who summon multiple units that are not spell immune. Nature's Prophet,Lycan,
Beastmaster
Lycan
* 
Faceless Void can lock Lycan down with his 
Chronosphere pinning him down as long as his ultimate is up.
Lycan
* Melee heroes who rely on summons, illusions, or clones will trigger Counter Helix more often, thus taking more damage: 
Meepo, Lycan, Phantom Lancer
Additional:
* 
Berserker's Call can keep Lycan in place during his Shapeshift even through Black King Bar.
* 
Counter Helix is very effective against Lycan because of his summons.
* 
Culling Blade will prevent Lycan from running away with Shapeshift when he drops low.
Lycan
* Heroes that can summon units will have their summons destroyed very quickly if badly micro-managed, like Chen, Lycan, and Phantom Lancer.
Lycan
* Heroes who rely on physical damage output to be effective will fare badly against Muerta's 
Pierce the Veil: Phantom Assassin, Terrorblade, 
Drow Ranger, 
Lifestealer, 
Anti-Mage, 
Alchemist, Lycan, 
Clinkz, 
Sniper.
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.
Lycan
* Heroes with summoned units don't fare well against Dawnbreaker. (Phantom Lancer ,Beastmaster ,Lycan).
Lycan
* Heroes who have summons, which can be quickly cleared by his powerful area of effect skill: Nature's Prophet, Enigma, Lycan
Lycan
* Dragon Knight's insanely high armor and splash damage can cause Lycan to struggle taking him down.
Warlock
* Supports with useful teamfight or contribution spells will be helpless against Doom: 
Dazzle, 
Oracle, Warlock.
Lycan
* Paralyzing cask bounces between him and his wolves, keeping him stunned for long amounts of time.
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.
Lycan
* A well landed 
Fissure can potentially take Lycan out of the fight for several seconds, who heavily relies on precious seconds from Black king bar and Shapeshift to fight.
* 
Aftershock reduces the effectiveness of his summons and can prove quite irritating for Lycan.
* 
Echo Slam is very powerful with the sheer amount of Lycan's units and will cause him to think twice when pushing towers.
Warlock
* Warlock often stays back and counter-initiates by dropping his Chaotic Offering on Earthshaker and his allies.
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.
Lycan
* Vision from Charge of Darkness will easier to catch Lycan Shapeshift and Charge of Darkness out of reach Lycan Summon Wolves and Lycan's other creeps. Until upgrade Aghanim's Scepter faster catching Lycan Shapeshift
* 
Howl can dispell with Bulldoze.
Additional:
* Lycan's Shapeshift can easily to catch from Spirit Breaker's with 
Charge of Darkness.
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.
Lycan
* 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.
Lycan
* Lycan relies heavily on right clicks making Untouchable very effective against him.
* If he tries to run away Impetus will do huge amounts of damage.
Additional:
* She can 
Enchant one of the wolves to her side.
* Lycan will struggle greatly to harm Enchantress through her 
Untouchable which can seriously slow down Lycan's attack speed even if Lycan is spell immune.
Lycan
* Heroes with haste can negate Enchant's slow: 
Weaver, 
Dark Seer, Lycan, 
Centaur Warrunner.
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.
Lycan
* Any Hero with high mobility will be neutralized by dream coil: 
Queen of Pain, 
Storm Spirit, 
Ember Spirit, Lycan, 
Bloodseeker, Anti-Mage, 
Timbersaw.
Lycan
* A Lycan with Shapeshift can always run down Puck for a very quick kill due to its low armor. It is important to abuse as many cliffs and trees as possible to escape from a Lycan.
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.
Lycan
* Howl reduces a good chunk of Marci's attack damage that she relies heavily on, and the armor reduction works better on her because of her low armor.
* Shapeshift renders Lycan immune to slow from Rebound and Unleash.
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.
Lycan
* Shapeshift allows Lycan to get close and disable Marksmanship.
* Shapeshift also makes him immune to slows like Drow Ranger's Frost Arrows.
Additional:
* The Wolves's speed causes the knockback from 
Gust to be ineffective.
* Drow Ranger lacks escapes and loses her 
Marksmanship when someone is near her. Lycan can take advantage of these weaknesses of Drow Ranger.
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.
Lycan
* Heroes with low armor and little mobility, like Huskar, 
Io, etc. will also have an unfortunate fate.
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.
Lycan
* Lycan can clear waves of Chen's creeps with his wolves from Summon Wolves, especially once Lycan takes +2 Wolves summoned talent. And even though Chen can convert one of his wolves with 
Holy Persuasion, Lycan can counter this by buying 
Helm of the Overlord to regain control of it. Uncontrollable wolves summoned from Aghanim's Shard upgrade Summon Wolves cannot be converted with Holy Persuasion.
* Shapeshift allows him to chase down Chen and kill him easily.
* Howl can reduce attack damage of both, Chen and his creeps.
Warlock
* Viper cannot interrupt heroes with powerful channeling abilities: 
Bane, Enigma, Shadow Shaman, Warlock
Lycan
* Heroes who do not have nor rely on passive abilities make Nethertoxin much less effective: Clinkz, Pugna, Nature's Prophet, Dark Seer, Lycan, 
Tusk
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.
Lycan
* Heroes with summons: Lycan, Broodmother, Visage, Nature's Prophet, Warlock.
Warlock
* Heroes with illusions and summons can swarm and overwhelm Bane, who has no area abilities to deal with them outside from Aghanim's Shard upgraded 
Brain Sap: Broodmother, Chaos Knight, Naga Siren, Nature's Prophet, Phantom Lancer, Terrorblade, Visage, Warlock, Wraith King.
Lycan
* Heroes with single-target abilities will be overwhelmed by Lycan and his summons: Wraith King, Bane, Phantom Assassin.
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.
Lycan
* Heroes with low armor and little mobility, like Huskar, Io, etc. will also have an unfortunate fate.
Lycan
* He can send wolves to defuse 
Proximity Mines, and he can catch up Techies and kill him before they can deny themselves. Even if the suicide is successful, Lycan can still survive because of his tankiness.
Lycan
* Mirana's Leap is ineffective if Lycan uses Shapeshift. It also allows him to dodge Sacred Arrow.
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
* 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.
Lycan
* Multiple attackers thanks to summoned units or clones: Meepo, Witch Doctor, Lycan, Enigma, Shadow Shaman
* 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
Lycan
* Shapeshift allows Lycan to chase down Earth Spirit.
Warlock
* Chaotic Offering's vast area-effect can destroy trees and stun Hoodwink.
* Upheaval makes retreating with 
Scurry difficult.
Lycan
* Lycan doesn't care much about Lich's slows thanks to Shapeshift.
* Chain Frost can bounce to the wolves that Lycan summons.
Additional:
* 
Lich possesses a lot of slows, which Lycan doesn't care about when he Shapeshifts.
* Lich has no in-built escape, which makes him a good target for Lycan.
Lycan
* 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.
Lycan
* The movement speed granted from Shapeshift means that Spectre has no way to punish Lycan if he wants to splitpush or pick off supports. Furthermore, he will kite 
Haunt and cannot be slowed by 
Spectral Dagger.
* Lycan is often part of an early game push strategy which is often the best counter to Spectre because she needs a lot of time and space to come online as a late game carry.
Lycan
* 
Magnetic Field is useless against melee heroes, so Lycan can attack Arc Warden without missing.
* 
Flux doesn't affect Lycan that much, because Shapeshift grants immunity to slows and because he is never alone.
* If their 
Tempest Double has been called, Lycan can still kill Arc Warden before the double expires.
Warlock
* Fatal Bonds links the Meepos together, which combined with area of effect damage or Cleave will be devastating.
Lycan
* Heroes who can summon illusions and summons because Terrorblade has no abilities to deal with multiple enemies at once outside Reflection: Shadow Shaman, Naga Siren, Broodmother, Lycan, Enigma, Chaos Knight, Phantom Lancer, 
Shadow Demon, Dark Seer, Nature's Prophet, 
Invoker, 
Morphling, Visage, Grimstroke with Aghanim's Scepter.
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
* 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.
Lycan
* Lycan and Weaver has abilities that allow them to move at maximum movement speed, and those abilities can't be dispelled, potentially wasting the slow from Demonic Purge.
Lycan
* Windranger's has bad against Hero heavily strong escape out of reach with windrun: Spirit Breaker, Lycan, Storm Spirit, 
Earth Spirit
Lycan
* You can easily kill a squishy Sniper, due to your high movement speed and his lack of escape.
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.
Lycan
* Once you get a Black King Bar, squishy spellcasters like 
Zeus, 
Skywrath Mage and others will be probably easy to deal with.
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.
Lycan
* Zeus can deal a huge amount of damage, but he lacks defensive abilities, such as good mobility or resistance. Due to that, he doesn't like to be touched by any means. Heroes with higher damage output and good mobility will often get easily near Zeus and trade damage (eventually causing Zeus's downfall). Such Heroes include: Lycan, Slark, Storm Spirit, 
Spectre and others.
Lycan
* Heroes with single-target abilities will be overwhelmed by Lycan and his summons: Wraith King, Bane, Phantom Assassin.
Warlock
* Ursa can shred Warlock's Golems in a few seconds with 
Fury Swipes and 
Overpower.
Lycan
* Lycan's ultimate makes him immune to slows from Ursa's 
Earthshock as well as allowing him to outmaneuver Ursa during 
Enrage. Lycan can also easily chase down Ursa while shapeshifted, should Ursa try to flee.
Lycan
* Phantom Assassin's 
Blur is a real problem for Lycan, as he relies entirely on direct attacks to deal damage.
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.
Lycan
* 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.
Lycan
* Can cast 
Demonic Conversion on one of Lycan's Wolves, making this a numbers fight.
* 
Malefice will greatly reduce his ability to engage
* 
Midnight Pulse can steep an area making it harder for Lycan to engage in.
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.
Lycan
* 
Keeper of the Light has a blind, which causes Lycan to miss his attacks.
Lycan
* Heroes with hastes: Dark Seer, Lycan
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.
Lycan
* Shapeshift is useful for killing or escaping Silencer.
* Summon Wolves, can be used to hunt and harass silencer - even when Lycan himself can't fight.
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.
Lycan
* Shapeshift increases Lycan's movement speed and renders him unslowable, allowing him to easily avoid and escape Ancient Apparition's abilities.
* Lycan has fast summons, both his wolves from Summon Wolves can do heavy damage to Ancient Apparition due to his immobility and low armor.
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.
Lycan
* Lycan's high health allows him to easily shrug off Nyx Assassin's burst damage and fend him off.
* As Lycan commonly buys Black King Bar, he can use it to freely attack Nyx Assassin and chase after him with Shapeshift.
Warlock
* Ghostship helps your team soak up damage from
Chaotic Offering and hit summons hard.
Upheaval.
* Tidebringer clears summons later in the game.
* Most of your spells can interrupt
Lycan
* Tidebringer's cleave will cripple any of his summons.
Tidebringer can be used to kill Lycan's summons.
Heaven's Halberd which will disable Lycan's auto attacks, crippling him even more.
* Could potentially build Heaven's Halberd to cripple Lycan even more.
Additional:
*
* Can also build into
