Solo mid counters to OD

True, it would be worth adapting your build in this situation - it's just that having an underlevelled does limit your early-mid effectiveness somewhat, but yeah the extra movement and purge would be quite nice vs OD. Certainly one of the better options - anyone intel based or mana dependent is in for a much worse time...

Most common counter is LD because OD cant imprison them both. Also pugna is good against him too.

A good counter for OD is Nyx. It's Mana Burn. You don't have to ask for anything else.

In the mid and late game yes, but in laning you will lose still. Since his mana pool isn't large enough and its not spammable you don't do too much damage. Plus his higher damage will still be able to harass you more. Imprisonment has a better animation and a slightly larger range so he will always cast before you can.

Meepo! Because f&=/! You that's why.
But seriously, why fast tranquil boots, he can survive till level 6. Then he can flash farm quickly.
I've played ld against him a few times. Doesn't use mana and has 2 people to punch od.
The scariest part of od early game is his ability to make other ganks work with astral prison.

Best counter (and generally best mid hero) to OD is... . He don't even use mana, his range is like from fountain to enemy ancient, he mini stun every hit for ~70+ dmg (?) and he's a russian hero, and we all know that russians are last to fall in battle.
