Unfortunately, there are rules. Sorry. For the counter to Timbersaw, Death Prophet and Silencer have already been used, so we need another silence, like Nightstalker or Drow Ranger. However, I would say that Legion Commander is his biggest counter; that or Windranger.

Counter to Legion Commander: Ursa. If you Duel him, Overpower will wreck you.
There's no earthy way of knowing which direction we are going. There's no knowing where we're rowing, or which way the river's flowing. Is it raining, is it snowing? Is a hurricane a-blowing? Not a speck of light is showing, so the danger must be growing. Are the fires of Hell a-glowing? Is the grisly Reaper mowing?! YES! The danger must be growing! For the rowers keep on rowing! And there's certainly not showing ANY SIGNS THAT THEY ARE SLOWING!

Counter to Ursa: Troll Warlord. The whirling axes make ursa miss, and Troll Warlord can kite in ranged form (remember, no Blink) or perma-bash in Melee.

Counter to Timbersaw is Bane and Pugna.
Counter to Doom is Wraith King and probably Phantom Lancer because it would be hard for Doom to find out who is the real Phantom Lancer.
Counter to Slark is Bloodseeker.
Pugna is a counter to all spell casters. Especially Storm Spirit and Timbersaw get wrecked by Pugna.

So Smuggels, how about a new start point to keep this fresh.

We've got to track used heroes somehow. I think we can just hide the list of heroes remaining under spoiler and re-post it with each answer excluding the hero you used.

As some heroes were already mentioned twhice or thrice I think we need to start over.

So maybe we should start with most picked hero, Pudge?

I agree. I don't know how to report yet XP but the hardest counter to Pudge is Lifestealer.

Windranger(runner) Is a decent counter to him. 100% evasion, not too much fat for Lifestealer to nom on, a good stun (assuming Rage isn't up), and a decent nuke.

Lion, no running from these stuns, too much magical burst, and hex disables evasion.
