Yes, Vengeful Spirit is the cookie-cutter counterpick to Enigma in competitive. Naga Siren deserves a mention also because Ensnare goes through BKB and stops channeling.

Almost all your problems with counterpicks are solved by getting a Linken's Sphere in addition to your Black King Bar. Linkens also screws up Rubick's shenanigans.

I didn't miss him as a foe, he's in "other enemies you should be scared of". But as ana ally, I find it problematic as to cast synergising Black Holes with Chronospheres is genereally a pain in the *ss and most of the time doesn't work. Just like fountain hooks, it's a great combo, but usually not worth the trouble. Also there is that problem of who is initiating? Plus I find Faceless already can do what Enigma doesn, but better, so if there is one, it's better to pick a more synergising hero, such as Tidehunter or Magnus.

Changed item build into chronological order. Added "Going Solo/Mid" build. Added VS to foes. Updated items.

Very nicely formatted, as well as very in-depth and informative. Enigma is one of my favorite heroes and you have a nice item build. But as Sofa sàid, put them in chronological order as to avoid confusion.

Very nicely formatted and presented. Good guide. +1

I think you should add Vengeful Spirit to your foes, because swap will disrupt black hole. Or he can swap a guy out of it.

Also, try to put the items in the build in chronological order... I don't think it's blink > boots > soul ring, is it?
