Hey everyone, I've got a friend that claims he can beat me with any hero in a 1v1 match, so in order to challenge that, we're gonna 1v1, with me choosing both our heroes. Could you guys give suggestions on what the worst match-up for him would be? (Me having a large advantage)

I was thinking maybe Nyx Assasin vs Keeper of the Light (spiked carapace to counter illuminate)
or Shadow Demon vs Wisp.

pick nightstalker and give him some int-support, this should do the trick

Allegiance is right - about 2 years ago there was a Dota 1v1 competition. The guy that won, used Night Stalker in everyround, against every hero - NS get's too strong too quick. someone with a nice low str gain like CM, would get messed up.

It doesn't really matter who you pick - I can imagine your friend can basically out farm you - If you play Lycan, and give him a hero without a disable (like ezalor), that will work also. you just need to ensure you can farm, faster than he can - or just w8 until min 20 when you have a bkb..

CM has a lot of slows/disables which might be a problem right? Until I get a bkb that is.

With Pudge you won't have a problem, since his magic resistance is pretty 'imba' after purchasing a Hood of Defiance

Probably Pudge, Night Stalker, or Gondar (if you are skilled and won't be shut down by gem/dust/obs).
