Weaver
* 
Arcane Bolt has a long range and a low cooldown, and is a great spell to waste Linken's Sphere. It also serves as an effective spell to harass Weaver with.
* 
Ancient Seal prevents Weaver from using Shukuchi or Time Lapse.
Dark Willow
* Ancient Seal instantly shuts down Dark Willow's abilities, rendering her defenseless against his high burst damage spells, while she cannot cast spells of her own.
* 
Mystic Flare deals immense burst damage in an area, damaging Dark Willow through Shadow Realm.
Weaver
* Berserker's Call is one of the best ways to lock down Weaver before he has a chance to use 
Time Lapse. It can also catch Weaver in 
Shukuchi.
* Weaver's high attack speed, along with high attack damage from 
Geminate Attack, triggers Counter Helix continuously and the output damage would be returned by 
Blade Mail.
Additional:
* 
Berserker's Call is one of the best ways to lock down Weaver before he has a chance to use Time Lapse. It can also catch Weaver in Shukuchi.
* Due to his fast attack speed from Geminate Attack and items that give attack speed, 
Counter Helix will activate a lot, and the damage would be returned by Blade Mail, which hurts Weaver far more than it hurts Axe.
* 
Culling Blade can finish off Weaver's low health pool before he escapes with Shukuchi and Time Lapse.
* 
Battle Hunger is a good tool to pop Weaver's 
Linken's Sphere due to its low cooldown.
Dark Willow
* Berserker's Call forces Dark Willow to attack, cancelling Shadow Realm.
Weaver
* A well-timed Gust will prevent Weaver from escaping, and a silenced Weaver usually dies very quickly.
* Weaver gains a lot of armor, which is bypassed by Marksmanship.
Additional:
* A well-timed 
Gust followed by 
Frost Arrows will prevent Weaver from escaping with Shukuchi. A Weaver silenced for more than 3 seconds usually dies very quickly.
* Due to her high attack speed, Drow Ranger can easily kill The Swarm beetles.
Dark Willow
* Gust can hit Dark Willow beyond a defensive Bramble Maze, and before she gets close enough to hit Drow Ranger with Bedlam.
* Drow Ranger's long range allows her to hit Dark Willow's team without venturing into her Bramble Maze.
Weaver
* 
Ball Lightning allows Storm Spirit to close the gap between him and Weaver in no time. Once locked down with certain items, Weaver is extremely fragile to Storm Spirit and his teammates.
Dark Willow
* Ball Lightning allows Storm Spirit to bypass Bramble Maze into the backline, and zip back into battle if he gets hit by Terrorize.
Weaver
* Smoke Cloud prevents Shukuchi and Time Lapse, leaving Weaver helpless against Riki.
* 
The Swarm is ineffective against Riki because invisibility instantly removes the beetles.
Dark Willow
* Frail heroes who lacks mobility: 
Crystal Maiden, 
Enigma, 
Dark Willow, 
Vengeful Spirit.
Additional:
* 
Smoke Screen prevents Dark Willow from using her abilities, rendering her defenseless and unable to deal any serious damage.
* 
Blink Strike lets Riki jump past Bramble Maze.
Weaver
* Silences and other types of lockdown that prevent Weaver from using his spells: 
Silencer, 
Riki, 
Lion, 
Legion Commander, 
Shadow Shaman, 
Bane.
Dark Willow
* 
Last Word and 
Arcane Curse have the range to hit Dark Willow beyond Bramble Maze.
* 
Global Silence renders Dark Willow useless in teamfights.
Weaver
* Weaver has poor health, relying on Shukuchi and Time Lapse to survive, With Jakiro's considerable arsenal of stuns, Weaver cannot initiate on Jakiro without being punished heavily or even killed in return.
* While difficult, Ice Path can catch Weaver during Shukuchi, And since Shukuchi only lasts 4 seconds while Ice Path's stun lasts 3.5, the stun from Ice Path will strip him of his escape.
* Weaver has to be very careful casting Time Lapse around Jakiro, as it could very easily put him inside of a Macropyre or Ice Path.
Dark Willow
* Jakiro's area of effect abilities can hit Dark Willow even while she is hidden during the 
Shadow Realm.
* Waiting about 2 seconds after Dark Willow casts Shadow Realm to cast Ice Path will stun her while her Shadow Realm is at it's maximum damage.
* Jakiro can stun Dark Willow when there is about 1 second left on 
Cursed Crown, Jakiro's Ice Path stun lasts slightly longer then Cursed Crown.
Weaver
* Heroes with good mobility to avoid Jakiro's abilities and with good chase to punish Jakiro from pushing a tower: 
Bloodseeker, 
Ember Spirit, 
Juggernaut, 
Phantom Assassin, 
Weaver.
Weaver
* Weaver relies on Shukuchi to escape and kite enemy heroes. Slardar's Corrosive Haze lowers armor and reveals Weaver, who is already a very frail target.
* Weaver usually builds Linken's Sphere, Corrosive Haze can be used to pop the spell block, additionally the level 25 undispellable talent will prevent Weaver from removing Corrosive Haze with Time Lapse, allowing allied heroes to use their abilities on Weaver.
Additional:
* 
Corrosive Haze lowers armor and reveals Weaver during Shukuchi, who is already a frail target. In addition, Weaver usually builds Linken's Sphere, and Corrosive Haze can be used to "pop" the spell block. His level 25 talent can also make Corrosive Haze undispellable by Time Lapse, which puts Weaver in an even worse situation.
* 
Guardian Sprint can dodge Weaver's bugs with the movement speed bonus.
Dark Willow
* Fortune's End can easily dispel Cursed Crown before it times out and stuns. He can also save a stunned ally with False Promise.
* Fate's Edict can easily negate 
Bedlam's over-time damage, since the spell provides no form of control. Similarly, he can also negate the magic burst from Shadow Realm.
* Fortune's End can dispel the fear effect from 
Terrorize, and it can remove the root from 
Bramble Maze if cast quick enough. Be mindful that Fortune's End only dispels your allies' debuffs on the primary target.
Additional:
* 
Fortune's End not being disjointable is almost an ensured disable if Dark Willow tries to escape with Shadow Realm. Dispels Cursed Crown and Terrorize.
* 
Fate's Edict negates all her magic damage in case she catches a single hero.
* 
False Promise's strong dispel removes Dark Willow's disables.
Weaver
* Shadow Shaman's many disables can lock down Weaver. Even with Linken's Sphere, Weaver might not be able to escape should Shadow Shaman uses Shackles quickly enough following Hex.
* Mass Serpent Wards can make short work of Weaver once he is locked down.
Weaver
* 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.
Weaver
* Phantom's Embrace and Soulbind prevent Weaver from using Shukuchi or Time Lapse to escape.
* Ink Swell discourages Weaver from moving through and damaging allies with Shukuchi.
Weaver
* Sprout with True Sight items (
Sentry Ward or 
Dust of Appearance) make it possible to trap Weaver in lane, unless he buys 
Quelling Blade or until he unlocks Time Lapse.
* The Swarm beetles can be destroyed with Nature's Prophet's Treants.
Weaver
* A well-timed Fireblast with Multicast can prevent Weaver from escaping with Shukuchi and even Time Lapse.
* Ignite's high damage early on applies heavy pressure onto Weaver's very small health pool.
* However, the slow from Ignite is generally useless against Shukuchi, and Time Lapse dispels it if needed.
Dark Willow
* None of Dark Willow's spells pierce Spell Immunity, making 
Blade Fury a good counter against her. Additionally, it dispels Cursed Crown and Bramble Maze.
* Dark Willow is generally fragile, which results in 
Omnislash being devastating against her.
* However, if Shadow Realm is activated during Omnislash, then the attack damage is negated (though Omnislash can still jump to other enemies).
Additional:
* Blade Fury dispels most of Dark Willow's abilities, allowing Juggernaut to pass through Bramble Maze and cancel out Cursed Crown before the stun occurs.
* However, Dark Willow can tank Omnislash with Shadow Realm. As she is a valid target, but invulnerable to right clicks.
Dark Willow
* All of Puck's abilities are area-targeted, and will hit Dark Willow when she uses Shadow Realm.
* 
Illusory Orb allows Puck to bypass Bramble Maze, close the gap and silence Dark Willow with 
Waning Rift.
* 
Phase Shift helps Puck dodge attacks charged by Shadow Realm, and is easily timed against Terrorize's long cast time.
Weaver
* Weaver's exceptional ability to elude and survive through clashes and ganks is hard countered by Lion in every aspect.
* Weaver is very mana dependent and has a rather small mana pool in the beginning of the game, of which 
Mana Drain can deplete and lessen his early game presence.
* 
Earth Spike followed by 
Finger of Death in the huge majority of the time is enough to kill Weaver.
* Earth Spike can be point targeted to hit through Shukuchi.
* 
Hex's has a fair long duration, by which Weaver will not be able to deal damage, or even survive a coordinated attack, and it is single target, of which cannot be dodged.
* Mana Drain easily breaks Linken's Sphere. Its low cooldown allows Lion to infinitely break it whenever it recharges.
* Earth Spike and Hex when paired for the longer lengths of disables may diminish Time Lapse efficiency, possibly causing Weaver to not undo as much damage as he would.
Dark Willow
* 
Flame Guard blocks Dark Willow's magical burst damage, and harms her if she tries to get close to attack with Bedlam.
* 
Sleight of Fist and 
Fire Remnant makes it hard for Dark Willow to fully disable Ember Spirit.
Weaver
* Heroes that avoid damage by coming in and out of invisibility in teamfights such as Weaver, 
Templar Assassin, and Riki will be easy for Zeus to reveal with Lightning Bolt and Thundergod's Wrath, but these heroes usually have other ways to avoid his damage or kill him, so he is not a perfect counter alone.
Additional:
* 
Arc Lightning has a low cooldown can used to pop his Linken's Sphere.
* 
Lightning Bolt or (
Nimbus upgraded from 
Aghanim's Scepter) detects Weaver during Shukuchi, preventing his ganks.
* 
Thundergod's Wrath can kill Weaver quickly before he can cast his Time Lapse at low health.
Weaver
* Low-health, normally mobile carries with a lot of damage are vulnerable to Bane's nukes and disables: 
Anti-Mage, 
Clinkz, 
Drow Ranger, 
Faceless Void, 
Gyrocopter, Juggernaut, 
Luna, 
Meepo, 
Mirana, 
Monkey King, 
Morphling, Phantom Assassin, 
Phantom Lancer, Riki, 
Shadow Fiend, 
Slark, 
Sniper, 
Terrorblade, 
Troll Warlord, Weaver.
Weaver
* Earthshaker's many stuns can lock down slippery heroes like Slark in his 
Shadow Dance and Weaver in his Shukuchi.
Weaver
* Silences and other types of lockdown that prevent Weaver from using his spells: Silencer, Riki, Lion, Legion Commander, Shadow Shaman, Bane.
Additional:
* Duel's long duration prevents Weaver from activating Time Lapse or escaping with Shukuchi.
Dark Willow
* Heroes who can silence will shut down Dark Willow entirely: 
Death Prophet, Silencer, Drow Ranger
Weaver
* Frostbite will reveal invisible heroes for its duration, making it a good tool against any such hero (Riki, 
Bounty Hunter, Weaver, or Clinkz for example), or as a soft counter to 
Shadow Blade, if it is used first. This can be an amazing tool to ensure that Dust of Appearance is used on the unit in question, and not wasted in not catching anything.
Dark Willow
* Heroes with high burst damage and 
Black King Bar can take down Dark Willow quickly: Phantom Assassin, 
Sven, 
Wraith King
Weaver
* 
Techies has both a silence and a powerful nuke in 
Blast Off!, root from 
Stasis Trap and even more magical damage in 
Proximity Mines and 
Remote Mines.
Dark Willow
* 
Magnetic Field lets Arc Warden or allies evade Dark Willow's shadow realm attacks. The duration of the evasion can be extended with the clone.
* 
Spark Wraith also exploits Dark Willow's low mobility.
Weaver
* A well-timed use of The Swarm provides vision over heroes with high mobility: Anti-Mage, 
Arc Warden, 
Dark Seer.
Weaver
* Weaver cannot Time Lapse out of Huskar's burn damage.
Weaver
* Heroes with abilities that reduce armor will make Huskar very vulnerable: Weaver, 
Dazzle, 
Bristleback, Vengeful Spirit.
Dark Willow
* 
Counterspell negates Dark Willow's high magic burst damage. Its active blocks Cursed Crown.
* 
Blink allows Anti-Mage to dodge Terrorize during its long cast animation, as well as avoiding the obstacles from Bramble Maze. On the other hand, if Anti-Mage gets caught inside Bramble Maze, he's unable to Blink away.
* Dark Willow's chained magic burst requires a lot of mana, setting her up for damaging 
Mana Voids.
Weaver
* A well-timed use of The Swarm provides vision over heroes with high mobility: Anti-Mage, Arc Warden, Dark Seer.
Weaver
* Shukuchi cannot help Weaver escape from Arena of Blood, and can most likely die if detected through invisibility.
* If pinned to the arena's walls, Time Lapse tends to not be enough to save Weaver, as God's Rebuke can keep him burst down thanks to its damage scaling.
* The Swarm and Geminate Attack are not enough to pierce through Bulwark.
Dark Willow
* Heroes with high magical or pure damage will bypass Bulwark: 
Timbersaw, Dark Willow, Enigma, 
Invoker, 
Pugna, 
Skywrath Mage, 
Tinker, 
Zeus, 
Oracle.
Weaver
* Marci's Dispose is blocked by Linken's Sphere which is a common item for Weaver.
* Shukuchi allows Weaver to escape from 
Rebound slow.
* The swarm beetle require 4 hits to kill. Weaver can use it on her when she use Unleash. This give Marci a hard choice: ignore The swarm and her armor keep decreasing or kill the beetle and wasting 4 attacks of Unleash.
Dark Willow
* Bramble Maze will very likely catch Marci midair, disabling Marci's chasing/fleeing ability.
* Shadow Realm prevents Marci from bursting Willow down since she relies on physical attacks and unit target spells. With Aghanim's Scepter, Willow can hit Marci while Marci can't hit Willow.
* Bedlam and 
Eul's Scepter of Divinity allows Willow to manfight if Marci initiates with Rebound.
* Terrorize and Cursed Crown combo can waste Marci's ultimate for almost half of its duration.
Weaver
* In general, Timbersaw struggles against highly mobile heroes that can avoid his abilities: 
Puck, Weaver, Ember Spirit and others.
Dark Willow
* Bramble Maze prevents Timbersaw from 
Timber Chaining away without getting rooted.
* Cursed Crown can still catch Timbersaw if he Timber Chains away.
* 
Reactive Armor offers little protection against Dark Willow's high magical damage.
Weaver
* Shukuchi allows Weaver to have faster movement speed and can outrun Primal Beast in most instances, such as while he is trampling.
* Trample disarms Primal Beast, so casting The Swarm can make him vulnerable to ranged attacks. Primal Beast also has an innately slow attack speed and will take a long time destroying the bugs.
* Time Lapse allows Weaver to negate and heal burst damage, which Primal Beast is reliant on.
Dark Willow
* Primal Beast really suffers against supports he cannot bully in the lane: this includes Dazzle, 
Shadow Demon and Dark Willow since they can use their respective abilities to stop Primal Beast from dealing burst damage, or make it hard for him to stay in range.
Weaver
* Time Lapse with Aghanim's Scepter dispels Flaming Lasso when used on allied hero.
* Linken's Sphere is core item for a Weaver making him a hard target for Lasso during entire game.
Weaver
* Shukuchi can break Static Link with little trouble.
* Time Lapse can easily be used to avoid damage from Plasma Field and can recover the damage done from Static Link and Eye of the Storm.
* Eye of the Storm can't kill bugs from The Swarm.
Weaver
* Heroes that lack burst damage will have a difficult time taking down Monkey King, and fare badly against Jingu Mastery: Legion Commander, 
Lifestealer, Weaver, Wraith King
Weaver
* Heroes that can maintain vision on Monkey King can see when he uses Tree Dance: Bloodseeker, 
Treant Protector with Eyes In The Forest, Sniper, Weaver
Dark Willow
* Terrorize forces Monkey King out of 
Wukong's Command.
Dark Willow
* Windrun does not protect Windranger from Cursed Crown stun or Dark Willow's magical nukes.
* Focus Fire cannot target Dark Willow in Shadow Realm and will be interrupted if targeted earlier, wasting the ultimate.
Additional:
* 
Windrun does not protect Windranger from Cursed Crown's stun or Dark Willow's magical nukes.
* 
Focus Fire cannot target Dark Willow in Shadow Realm and will be interrupted if targeted earlier, wasting the ultimate.
Weaver
* Shukuchi allows Weaver to close the gap between himself and Sniper with high speed, and to maneuver through teamfights to get on top of him.
* A combination of The Swarm and 
Desolator tears through Sniper's low armor.
Weaver
* 
Earthshock's slow is ignored by Shukuchi.
* Ursa can be kited with Shukuchi and his burst damage will be negated with Time Lapse as long as Weaver survives it.
* The Swarm breaks Ursa's 
Blink Dagger, forcing him to deal with the beetles.
Additional:
* The swarm beetle can waste Ursa's 
Overpower attacks.
* Ursa has no inherent way of disabling a slippery Weaver by preventing him from Shukuchiing or Time Lapseing away, as the slow from Earthshock is useless against Shukuchi's haste effect.
Weaver
* Brewmaster is slow and has low armor, making his laning stage very difficult against Geminate Attack.
* Apart from the slow moving 
Hurl Boulder, which can be disjointed, he has no control to catch Weaver.
Dark Willow
* Terrorize, Bedlam and Cursed Crown can damage Muerta through Pierce the Veil.
* Shadow Realm can be used to escape Pierce the Veil's high damage, as Muerta cannot attack her while she is in it.
Weaver
* Shukuchi ignores slows and allows Weaver to escape Viper's onslaught.
* Time Lapse dispels 
Poison Attack and 
Corrosive Skin and undoes poison damage.
* Weaver's high burst damage allows him to kill Viper before being killed.
Weaver
* Geminate Attack works on 
Tombstone, allowing Weaver to kill it quickly.
* Zombies attacking Weaver disappear once he goes invisible with Shukuchi.
* Undying has no way to catch a mobile Weaver.
Weaver
* 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.
Weaver
* Weaver doesn't care much about Lich's slows thanks to Shukuchi.
* If he sees Chain Frost is targeting him, he can easily isolate himself with Shukuchi so that it stops bouncing around.
* Unless Lich bursts Weaver immediately, Lich has no hard disables or silences to prevent him from using Time Lapse.
Weaver
* 
Cold Feet is extremely easy to nullify with Shukuchi.
* 
Ice Vortex does not slow Weaver in Shukuchi.
* Time Lapse will still affect his health, even when hit by 
Ice Blast.
* Ancient Apparition has no escapes or saves and is very squishy, making him an easy target for Weaver to get on top of.
Additional:
* Time Lapse allows Weaver (or an ally if upgraded with Aghanim's Scepter) to regain HP while affected by Ice Blast.
* Shukuchi completely ignores the slow from Ice Vortex and helps him escape the freeze range of Cold Feet.
Dark Willow
* Dark Willow's burst damage and stun prevents Troll Warlord from approaching her until he has Black King Bar.
* Troll Warlord's lack of burst damage makes it hard for him to kill Dark Willow before she slips into Shadow Realm.
Weaver
* Weaver can easily kill Chen's creeps and kite Chen with The Swarm and Shukuchi.
* Neither Chen nor his converted creeps have burst damage at all, so Weaver will always have plenty of time to save himself with Time Lapse or his allies with Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Time Lapse.
Weaver
* Heroes with haste can negate Enchant's slow: Weaver, Dark Seer, 
Lycan, 
Centaur Warrunner.
Weaver
* Heroes with one single-target abilities such as Wraith King, 
Necrophos, or 
Doom will struggle against Weaver's Linken Sphere.
Weaver
* Heroes whose core item builds includes 
Monkey King Bar: Faceless Void, 
Windranger, Weaver, Juggernaut.
Dark Willow
* Heroes with powerful rooting abilities will disable most of Pangolier's skills, a bonus point if it pierces spell immunity since it will also be able to stop Pangolier during his Rolling Thunder: Treant Protector, Meepo, Crystal Maiden, Dark Willow, 
Underlord, 
Naga Siren
Weaver
* Heroes with Linken's Sphere as core item: Weaver, Morphling, 
Medusa.
Weaver
* Enigma lacks burst damage, and that makes him vulnerable to heroes who can recover themselves and turn the fight around to their advantage after Enigma finishes his initiation: Faceless Void, Terrorblade, 
Ursa, Weaver, 
Broodmother, Slark, 
Abaddon, Wraith King, Lifestealer.
Weaver
* Clockwerk lacks burst damage, and that makes him vulnerable to heroes who can recover themselves and turn the fight around to their advantage after Clockwerk finishes his initiation. Additionally, Clockwerk hates buying 
Dagon and 
Ethereal Blade, which are the only itmes that can help him deal with heroes who can recover themselves and turn the fight around to their advantage: Faceless Void, Terrorblade, Ursa, Weaver, Broodmother, Slark, Abaddon, Wraith King, Lifestealer.
Weaver
* Any hero who can survive Magnus's initiations and manfight him: 
Huskar, Faceless Void, Weaver, Abaddon, Troll Warlord, 
Alchemist, 
Dragon Knight, 
Night Stalker, 
Viper.
Weaver
* You can potentially kill a fragile Weaver by using Disruption during Shukuchi with a well-placed Sentry Ward, wasting the Shukuchi. But odds are he'll wait to get low health, Time Lapse the damage away and Shukuchi away once more.
Weaver
* Heroes who can dodge Earth Spirit's abilities: Ember Spirit, Puck, Weaver
Weaver
* Heroes that are hard to kill without lockdown: Puck, Weaver.
Weaver
* 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.
Weaver
* Heroes that rely on slows or low-duration stuns have trouble catching Weaver: 
Omniknight, 
Lich.
Weaver
* Strong escape combo abilities from Spirit Breaker 
Charge of Darkness and 
Bulldoze can easily catch Shukuchi from Weaver. Since Spirit Breaker build Aghanim's Scepter, Charge of Darkness is very fast able to reach catch Weaver trying it.
* Time Lapse also affected Charge of Darkness and 
Nether Strike.
Additional:
* Shukuchi vision can easily target Charge of Darkness before Weaver purchase Linken's Sphere.
Weaver
* Heroes that usually build Linken's Sphere as a core or situational item: Weaver, Medusa, Morphling, Queen of Pain, 
Storm Spirit, Luna.
Dark Willow
* Bramble Maze stops Charge of Darkness in its tracks. Its very long duration means it can be used as an obstacle to block off an incoming Spirit Break during teamfights.
* Shadow Realm and Bedlam can be activated when Dark Willow sees Charge of Darkness coming, preventing Spirit Breaker from using Nether Strike after the initial stun.
Weaver
* Escape-type carries: Slark, Storm Spirit, Weaver.
Weaver
* Heroes with one single-target abilities such as Wraith King, Necrophos, or Doom will struggle against Weaver's Linken Sphere.
Weaver
* Heroes with good escapes can usually outmaneuver and escape from Spectre: Slark, Clinkz, Weaver
Dark Willow
* Fragile supports who die in a few hits against Sven's high physical damage: Crystal Maiden, Vengeful Spirit, Dark Willow.
Weaver
* 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.
Dark Willow
* Heroes with high burst damage and Black King Bar can take down Dark Willow quickly: Phantom Assassin, Sven, Wraith King
Weaver
* Weaver can run away after killing Wraith King once thanks to Shukuchi.
* Wraithfire Blast is quite predictable. If Weaver is quick, he will disjoint it with Shukuchi and proceed to chase Wraith King down.
* Shukuchi does have a fade time. They cannot disjoint it if you use it right next to them. They will be stunned and take damage; however they will still become invisible if they used Shukuchi before the stun hits.
* Weaver can easily harass Wraith King out of his lane thanks to his high base damage and Geminate Attack.
* Weaver can burn Wraith King's mana quickly with his 
Mana Break or 
Diffusal Blade, until Wraith King purchases Aghanim's Shard to remove 
Reincarnation's manacost.
Additional:
* 
Wraithfire Blast is easy to disjoint with Shukuchi or Time Lapse, and it's the only way to break Weaver's Linken Sphere.
* Wraith King has no other disables and no mobility, allowing Weaver to chase or escape Wraith King as he wishes.
* With the Mana Break talent and Diffusal Blade, Weaver can prevent Reincarnation from triggering until Wraith King gets his shard.
Dark Willow
* 
Rot and 
Meat Hook hits Dark Willow even when she uses Shadow Realm.
* 
Flesh Heap reduces Dark Willow's magic burst damage.
Weaver
* Shukuchi grants Weaver invisibility and a high degree of mobility for a short time, which can make him a difficult target to hook.
* The Swarm beetles are difficult for Pudge to remove, due to his low base attack time and poor agility. Additionally, it can be used to can scout out Pudge's location.
* Should an ally get snagged by Meat Hook, Weaver can use Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Time Lapse on them to send them back to where they were before hooked, even if Pudge has already started to Dismember them.
Additional:
* While Weaver is in Shukuchi, Rot doesn't slow him and Meat Hook is easy to avoid.
* Even when hooked, Weaver can use Time Lapse, negating both the damage and displacement.
* Pudge has low armor and low attack speed, making him susceptible to The Swarm and physical attacks.
* 
Dismember is easy to block with Linken's Sphere and it's the only way to break Weaver's Linken Sphere.
* However, the long duration stun of Dismember can be dangerous for Weaver.
Dark Willow
* 
Quill Spray's constant AoE damage will hit Dark Willow even in Shadow Realm. Its automatic damage will hurt her if she tries to get close and use Bedlam.
Weaver
* Shukuchi gets Weaver in front of Bristleback, negating the protection from 
Bristleback.
* Weaver's mana break talent depletes Bristleback's mana pool, preventing him from spamming abilities.
Weaver
* Shukuchi will trigger extra damage from Rupture.
* Shukuchi's invisibility is detected by Thirst.
* Time Lapse cannot dispel Rupture, preventing Weaver from escaping ganks. However, smart Weaver will buy Linken's Sphere to counter this problem for him.
Additional:
* 
Rupture is particularly crippling against Weaver, who relies on high movement speed from Shukuchi to fight and escape, and it cannot be dispelled by Time Lapse.
* 
Thirst detects Weaver through Shukuchi whenever his health is low.
* 
Blood Rite combined with Rupture forces Weaver to either take damage from the latter, or to get silenced for a long duration.
Dark Willow
* Bramble Maze greatly hinders Bloodseeker's ability to run around in teamfights and pick off dying allies.
* Shadow Realm prevents Bloodseeker from attacking dark Willow, allowing her to safely teleport away.
Weaver
* Time Dilation while Shukuchi and Geminate Attack are on cooldown will make these abilities unusable for a long time, reducing Weaver's escape potential.
* Chronosphere will reveal Weaver during Shukuchi.
Additional:
* The wide range of 
Chronosphere makes it difficult for Weaver to avoid it with Shukuchi and, once caught, his low survivability makes him an easy kill.
* With no significant source of burst damage, it is easy for Void to survive combat with Weaver using 
Time Walk.
* 
Time Dilation will prevent Weaver from using Shukuchi or force him to use Time Lapse to dispel the debuff and re-engage.
Dark Willow
* Terrorize forces Faceless Void out of Chronosphere.
Weaver
* Bounty Hunter has a cheap way to break Linken's Sphere and keep track of Weaver while he is using Shukuchi, though both can be dispelled with Time Lapse.
Weaver
* Weaver with Time Lapse
* Heroes that can remove the Track debuff with their skills:
* Abaddon with 
Aphotic Shield and 
Borrowed Time
* Huskar with 
Life Break
* Juggernaut with Blade Fury
* Legion Commander with 
Press the Attack
* Lifestealer with 
Rage and 
Infest
* Naga Siren with 
Mirror Image
* Omniknight with 
Heavenly Grace
* Oracle with Fortune's End and False Promise
* Phantom Lancer with 
Doppelganger
* Slark with 
Dark Pact
* Ursa with 
Enrage
* Weaver with Time Lapse
* 
Tidehunter with 
Kraken Shell when damage received reaches the threshold.
Dark Willow
* Rage protects Lifestealer from all of Dark Willow's abilities.
Additional:
* Rage protects and dispels all of Dark Willow's abilities.
Weaver
* Though The Swarm can be blocked by Rage, it can be used to lower Lifestealer's already low armor, making him even more vulnerable to physical damage while Rage is on cooldown.
* Lifestealer has no strong disables on his own and thus cannot catch up with nor escape from Weaver's Shukuchi.
* Lifestealer's reliance on meticulous auto-attacks will not help against Time Lapse, which can undo Lifestealer's already slow build-up of damage. Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Time Lapse can also be used to save allies from getting killed by Lifestealer, but that will require targeting the allied hero rather than just pressing the button that will trigger the Time Lapse.
Additional:
* 
Open Wounds's slow is ignored by Shukuchi.
* Lifestealer has no other lockdown and relies on being on top of enemies; Weaver can kite him with ease.
Weaver
* Heroes with high mobility can be prevented from using it to their advantage with Earthbind, even if they pack a dangerous arsenal: 
Earth Spirit, Ember Spirit, Storm Spirit, 
Nature's Prophet, Phantom Assassin, Riki, Anti-Mage, Weaver.
* See items and abilities disabled by roots
Dark Willow
* Heroes who can stun multiple units at once: Dark Willow, 
Spirit Breaker, 
Slardar, Invoker, and Tidehunter.
Additional:
* Casting Bramble Maze on top of Meepo guarantees a root, as it is nearly impossible to leave the thorns with all of Meepo's clones.
* Terrorize and Cursed Crown offer great disables against the grouped Meepos and can prevent them from using 
Poof to escape.
Weaver
*
Spiked Carapace allows Nyx to get an easy long-duration stun on Weaver once he uses Shukuchi, and then he can follow up with 
Impale.
Vendetta works as a great setup for both 
Impale and 
Spiked Carapace and can deal decent damage to Weaver. Additionally he can neutralize The Swarm beetles due to his invisibility duration.
*
Dark Willow
* Nyx Assassin's high burst damage can be the bane of Dark Willow, as her low health makes it difficult to survive long enough to escape through Shadow Realm.
Spiked Carapace can be triggered by walking deliberately into Bramble Maze, leaving Dark Willow stunned and defenseless.
*
