Really hate sladar or BH when using RIKI. But to counter earlier BH. Just buy gem and go find the Bh. Then Gem put back in base. So they dont aim u earlier. hahah.

It's a team game of skills, you might counter pick one or two heroes but they might be really bad players anyway which doesn't need you to even counter pick.

Also if your hero picks don't allow you to counter the enemy, items will.

We dont just pick certain hero to direct-counter-that-hero-in-the-face. Sometimes we pick heroes that can fit in your draft ( 5 man team ) and combo well so you can gain benefit in both aspect.

For example, how often you put huskar in your draft just to counter templar assassin ? That would make ur draft abit weird because huskar is not well-suited in competitive lineup.
We might as well pick venomancer which can act as support as well as the ideal counter for templar assassin.

Just a small example, its too vast. With you picking counter heroes, that doesnt mean your enemy wont counter your counter. So, keep calm and play more dota ! xD

yesterday play. Sladar so GG when i am using riki. I keep aiming him. Hahaha.

+1 for this...
the important thing is can click with ur team heroes...
for an instance,ppl 5 pusher hero with summons and stuff,u pick 5 that can easily kill them but all single target kill...u might get kills,but ull lose the game cos of the push :/

that if our team got a good support and ganker. But if got team that mind his own business. We so GG. haha.

how also need see teammate :/ teamplay is what i think most important in d2

Yeahhhh. Like yesterday when i am playing choosing alchemist. Then pa want blame me the whole game. I told him to farm since PA useless without his item. Then he keep roaming dont want stick. He make us lose the game. Damn....

Some hero indeed is super counter for certain hero . Example like bloodseeker is super counter to anti mage during early and mid game . Imagine the rupture make anti mage cant blink and when anti try to farm he keep on hunt him . Dang he be super skinny

Bloodseeker is not that much of a hardcounter to AM all they need to do is TP away, you can never solo kill the AM unless he is a very poor player...

The best way to hero counter is pick a team with good synergy, and evaluate in which part of the game you will have an advantage, if you are required to finish fast of face the wrath of a farmed PL you need to establish that earlier and picked up necessary items to enable a sustained push. If your team lacks pushing power then you will need to gank effectively early to shut down certain heros farming capabilities or you will inevitably lose if they have a harder carry.

yea...but since this thread is about counter,we should just try list down what hero is better against which hero...
lets start with bloodseeker?
lol....

Huskar ? just get Ursa can own already. True story.

Yeah thats true. Lets do some list how to counter hero.

As i know so far how to counter abaddon just using Sniper Or Drow. With both far range can make that abaddon useless since he is initiate type hero. Unless abaddon make some good combo such as Abaddon + Omniknight. GGWP game.

omniknight...

So Omniknight can counter Bara? NIce then. but how?

Well if Omni is a carry then most likely is simple because Omni third passive aura slow enemy attack speed . With that kind of sticky goo slow bara down and omni carry , I dont see why not . Besides omni got more than 1 spells to protect himself or others .

I still think Slark or Juggernaunt best Spirit Breaker counter . Slark if timing is right , he can break bara mad bash combo with ultimate or first skill . With essence shift , SB will get slow down while slark is getting faster . Juggernaunt if precise timing twist can prevent SB from ulti
and when the creep waves are cleared . Its slice and dice with omnislash to finish the job

Greater Bash is magic damage. Repel = no bonus damage from GB.

Yesterday i play Kunkka but still owning bara. Just using BKB then his ulti useless. Hahaha.
