I'm thinking of putting together a picture guide, a big reference table with 3 items, heroes or abilities that counter each hero. Here are some starters, please add or correct!


Ice Blast
Lifestealer
Reaper's Scythe


Silence
Shadow Shaman
Scythe of Vyse


Mana Burn
Laguna Blade
Monkey King Bar


Devour
Enchant
Hand of Midas


Demonic Conversion
Sacrifice
Disruptor


Slardar
Caustic Finale
Echo Slam
A full list of my guides is here

Chen is countered by Enchantress taking the creeps for her own, Doom eating them or the worst: Hand of midas "shudder"
My lone druid starting items are 12 Iron wood branches, 6 for the hero and 6 for the bear. Even if the bear does not get stats more twigs are OP on any hero.

How does Poison Sting counter Alchemist? It doesn't directly hurt his regeneration. You know what DOES stop Alchemist dead in his tracks? Ice Blast.

Thanks guys - I'll keep adding these! I don't play every hero so more perspectives are good...what are three things you really hate coming up against when playing someone?

I was thinking Poison Sting is just so horrible to lane against, but will replace with Ice Blast on your recommendation.

Storm Spirit -

Countered by:

Silencer
Doom (Not sure if this links the ability or the hero but he is countered by Doom's ultimate, Doom. Hehe)
Orchid Malevolence

If Enchant counters Chen,doesn't Holy Persuasion counter Enchantress?This seems like a paradox.

To me Chen and Enchantress remind me of Lina and Crystal Maiden in that they do indeed seem like a paradox. In the lore they probably hate eachothers guts because chen uses magic to 'enslave' creatures/people and enchantress (to me) is like a warden of the forest so she would be rightly pissed over that.
