First, this thread is not for complains about OP Heroes or pubstompers but mainly for those kind of Heroes that, unexpectedly, win the majority of games against you whether they get kills or not. I think everyone has his "nemesis" in Dota pubs, here's my ones:

Ogre Magi: believe it or not, after the 6.79 patch I found a lot of fed Ogre Magis on enemy teams and I can't explain how. His stun has a pretty high range and he's very tanky; I almost think we could've seen him in competitive if he was ranged.

Centaur Warrunner : every time an enemy picks this guy, they're gonna win. Whether they build a Vanguard, Hood or rush a Heart they'll always find their kills and initiations. Especially if a teammate you don't know is versus a Centaur + Tiny/Slardar/Venomancer/Tusk/whatever combo, he's gonna get fed really quickly.

Necrophos: first off, 90% of Necrophos players I found were complete *******s - I don't know why but it was always a Necrophos; I even reported a guy on Steam for racism against Italian people (mainly for fun because I usually ignore that kind of players, but he was actually behaving in a very racist way). But nowadays I really hate Necro players because of that overpowered Agh's ultimate: you get Scythed when you're playing Anti-Mage, you automatically lose a barrack. Okay, I'm exaggerating, but you get the point. :D


PS: I know how to counter these guys, but as I said they have a strangely high win ratio against me. I bet you also have some Heroes you usually lose against without a reason, so post them here!

I always find myself losing the lane against Omniknight. I don't know why.
He's a melee support and has no escape mechanism, but you can't go for an early kill because Purification is so damn scary, especially since lately I'm playing a lot with Tidehunter.

Nature's Prophet, Tinker, Earth Spirit and Mirana

Almost in every match I see at least one of those heroes who are really frustrating to play against, but I still manage to win.

I know that feel.
When I ask mid for a gank he usually:
- refuses because he's farming.
- blame us because we are not winning the lane (and then not help)
- come to gank but with horrible positioning (coming from the river and not from the jungle while ganking the hard lane)

Axe, Abaddon and Bristleback.

Yes, I hate tanky heroes. Especially since they kind of suck when I use them but the enemy Axes are RnGesus players.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Warlock, Sand King, Tidehunter and Enigma combos: I remember playing a CM match in which the enemies were going for a typical all-teamfight lineup, so we picked split pushers like Nature's Prophet and carry Pugna (I love it) and won. I bet they felt really bad.

magnus can be irritating if he gets of good rps, but it's never that I feel they are unfair http://dotabuff.com/matches/454627084 here is a game when the enemies stacked all teamfight, but couldn't execute it.
as if for my annoying heroes I will go with death prophet, veno and lich since they are so auto-win, my team usually has a little problem with riki to, but that is just about how organized pubs get :p I might think of some1 else later

I honestly don't have problems with pub matches, (mainly because I understand what needs to happen) but I have issues with hero's you need to gank because they are so fed. One example of this was a game where I was versing a fed Axe while playing as Huskar the problem I faced was our team (even with a Riki) could not kill him after I had used my ult and was trying to actually kill him. Apart from that issue the main heroes I hate are fed Sniper, Drow Ranger and basically any hero that can take out a whole team that isn't working together.
Your new diet for heroes; You will need 4 wards (cuz wards taste better), 1 set of tangoes, 1 mango, 1 cheese.
With this you can make a nice Tango Mango Cheese platter. You can wash this all down with a nice bottle of water, Can be flavoured with red, green, yellow, blue, purple AND GOLD!
Caution: Taking roshan 3 times is required.
