Bloodseeker
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 3%)Ember Spirit
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 11%)Windranger
* The high mobility provided by Fire Remnant makes it hard for Windranger to find a good position to land Shackleshot or a full duration of Focus Fire.
* Flame Guard and
Searing Chains deal considerable magical damage to Windranger which she cannot avoid with Windrun.
* Searing chains also negates the mobility from Windrun.
Void Spirit

* The root from Searing Chains prevents Void Spirit from using Dissimilate or Astral Step.
Death Prophet
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 11%)Windranger
* Windranger heavily relies on her abilities for any form of tactical advantage and damage. A well timed silence will make her useless: Puck,
Silencer,
Death Prophet,

Drow Ranger,
Earth Spirit,
Grimstroke.

* Spirit Siphon and
Exorcism can damage through his
Resonant Pulse shields.

Centaur Warrunner
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 7%)Windranger
* Focus Fire grants Windranger a massive attack speed bonus, while her attack damage is generally quite low. This, combined with Windranger's low health pool and armor, makes Retaliate do absolutely massive damage over a short time, making Centaur a hero she can never expect to kill or harass.
* Windrun grants evasion, but Centaur Warrunner does not rely on successful attacks in order to do damage. Hoof Stomp, Double Edge, and Stampede all do large amounts of magical damage and can completely demolish Windranger in a moment.
Additional:
* Stampede can help his teammates escape from Windrun and Focus Fire.
* Retaliate will shred through Windranger's health if she chooses to attack him during Focus Fire.
Void Spirit

Centaur Warrunner) are very problematic for him.
Axe
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 9%)Windranger

Berserker's Call. Her fast attack speed with Focus Fire will also quickly trigger

* Windranger heavily relies on her abilities for any form of tactical advantage and damage. A well timed silence will make her useless: Puck,
Silencer,
Death Prophet,
Skywrath Mage,
Drow Ranger,
Earth Spirit,

Astral Step.

* Killing Puck in the late game becomes difficult when they obtain a Eul's Scepter of Divinity,
Blink Dagger, and
Phase Shift.
Lion
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 10%)Windranger
* Since Windranger is bad against magical damage, heroes with continuous magical damage or magical nukes can blast her: Zeus,
Tinker,
Leshrac,
Viper,
Skywrath Mage,
Lion,
Lina,
Venomancer.
Void Spirit
* Lion's instant cast point shuts down his initiation and buys time for his allies to catch up.

* Track negates much of Void Spirit's escape abilities by revealing his position and prevents him from rotating effectively.
Dark Willow
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 4%)Windranger

Venomancer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 4%)Windranger
* Due to lack of magic resistance, Venomancer poisons eats through Windranger's health.
Additional:
* Due to lack of magic resistance, Venomancer abilities eats through Windranger's health.
* Venomancer's multiple slows, to an extent, negates Windrun's mobility.
Slardar
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 4%)Void Spirit

Bash of the Deep can quickly remove Void Spirit's shield and stun him for a while.

[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)Windranger
* Kraken Shell easily dispels the lengthy stun from Shackleshot.

Bane
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 2%)Void Spirit
* Fiend's Grip and
Nightmare are very useful to lock down Void Spirit.

Monkey King,
Sven.
Shadow Demon
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 1%)Windranger

Doom
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 8%)Void Spirit
* Doom is effective against every hero, and Void Spirit is no exception. Being unable to cast spells or items during fights for 16 seconds nullifies his impact entirely.
* Doom has a very versatile build and can consume creeps which has abilities that can stun or provide additional magic resistance.
* Doom's high strength gain and versatility in items can be effective against Void Spirit's magical damage.
Queen of Pain
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 6%)Void Spirit
* Queen of Pain can Blink to both escape and initiate onto Void Spirit.
* She is also a very common Orchid Malevolence carrier, which can prevent Void Spirit from contributing much in fights.

Chen.
Monkey King
[wiki] rating: -2.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 8%)Windranger
* Powershot destroys the tree Monkey King is standing on.
* Monkey King's natural reliance on trees makes him an easy target for Shackleshot.
* Windrun evades Monkey King's attacks, preventing him from building up Jingu Mastery.

* Heroes with mobility/escape mechanisms to dodge Ancient Apparition abilites, or to easily jump on him: Riki,
Queen of Pain,

Phantom Lancer
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)Windranger
* As long as Windranger is able to identify the real hero among the illusions, heroes relying on them can be easily tagged with Focus Fire: Chaos Knight,
Terrorblade,
Phantom Lancer,
Naga Siren.
Void Spirit
* Astral Step and

Untouchable.
Phantom Assassin
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 10%)Windranger
* Phantom Assassin's Blur will be useless if Windranger managed to get

Bloodthorn, and other than Stifling Dagger, Phantom Assassin has no abilities that can bypass Windrun.

* Powershot can destroy the trees to prevent
Scurry's passive as well as end
Bushwhack prematurely or prevent it completely.

Pudge
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 29%)Windranger

Lifestealer, or

* Heroes with burst damage of their own won't be afraid to go toe to toe with Void Spirit, like Ursa,

* Windrun and
Focus Fire can easily allow Windranger to kite Ursa and do good amounts of damage in the process.
Additional:

* Heroes with considerable mobility can easily escape from a rolling Pangolier: Anti-Mage,
Queen of Pain,
Void Spirit,
Storm Spirit,
Ember Spirit,
Earth Spirit, moreover, if a player is familiar with how Rolling Thunder works, they can adjust their movement to avoid it entirely and of course outplay the Pangolier player.

* Refraction negates all of Void Spirit's burst damage.

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.

Windranger
*
Windrun triggers the damage from Rupture.
Rupture turns Windranger's mobility against her.
Blood Rite's silence makes Windranger totally useless, since she's extremely reliant on abilities.

Void Spirit
*
Rupture will fully damage Void Spirit during his ultimate, removing his main escape mechanic during fights and his way to disrupt them heavily.
Blood Rite will force Void Spirit to use Dissimilate or Astral Step or be silenced. In the latter's case, it can be dangerous when combined with Rupture.
