true that. I'm a spectre user actually.

Counter for spectre, I would say weaver not best counter always but still can counter spec

Weaver relatively squishy. He can easily be countered by disables and burst damage, for example - Lion (Make sure you are leveling Hex, not Mana-draining as your secondary skill though).

lion, would say balanar, with 8 seconds of silence, he'll just need 5 seconds to cripple your hp to red, then even if the silence expires, they're is always be another silence coming

I would choose tiny to couter balanar,

His high hp means that void is less useful on him, he can stun when attacked by balanar while silenced, and he can stop balanar in his tracks with a stun if he gets too close.

I would choose OD to counter Tiny. High damage, could avoid the stun if he plays ok or just sap him out of mana.

I think you can find a few sites that are dedicated to sharing players' thoughts on what kind of hero counters another. Some of pet peeves are Pudge and KotL. I hate these two mainly because the heroes that counter them are not ones I enjoy playing.

How to counter Templar Assassin in Mid lane : (ITEM)
ou can easily counter Templar Assassin Reflection in mid with Orb Of Venom
Which makes her escape/tower diving/Etc.. strategies weak

(Heroes)

Or you can just pick Venomancer or Viper

How to counter Alchemist : (ITEM)

You can counter Alchemist stun with Shadow blade/BKB/Eul. Which will force him to stun himself and make him an easy target for your attacks or spells

Na'iz
The Alchemist is a tank, Na'ix is an anti-tank so he's an obvious counter. Feast will ignore his massive HP. If you see him shaking up an Unstable Concoction, just turn on Rage and attack him. You'll do more damage and he's likely to stun himself. Finally, Infest provides a solid escape mechanism should you ever be in trouble.

Necrolyte
The Alchemist is a tank. And Necrolyte heartstopper aura will makes his Ultimate HP regen useless. Since Alchemist is always tanking he will take some massive damage. And when he reaches 50% HP Necrolyte can easily kill him with Reaper's Scythe "Scepter Upgrade"
Alchemist has the advantage at late game, be careful to get stunned by Alchemist or you will be finished by him and his team mates!!

~Moral of the story~ Get wards to spot him before a team fight

Rhasta . The Shadow Shaman

The Shadow Shaman can provide excellent disables for your ally to damage him. Hex and Shackle prevent him from doing anything, including blinking away, at least if you time your next spell right before the previous wears off. Combine Rhasta with a high-dps hero and you can disable him long enough for your dpser to finish him off. Also, your Serpent Wards do physical damage so Spell Shield doesn't block the damage

How to a sniper staying behind teamfights?! so annoying with a shadow blade?

It's rather simple in my opinion.

My main carry is sniper xD so yeah i can give you some tricks :
-get an hero with revealing mechanism akka : barathrum charge/doom/bloodseeker altough this wastes one of your picks its a total denial to sniper
-get a multi burster akka : Lina/Witch/Ogre magi with multi cast : they're spell leave sniper 10% hp and this is true.\
-buy blade mail(not bkb sorry ) : for the one's that do not know sniper has almost the lowest hp in dota a blademail is enough to kill him not to mention making him to ingore you completly:
-bait his ultimate : sniper has to channel alot for his ulty and it's dodgeble with : manta/shadow deamon/chaos knight etc. make him use it (since all snipers are little greedy master) when they use ulty position is reavelead and they can't stop it to use shadowblade.

Hope it helped.

Pudge is a good counter to sniper, he has to be static to attack, s... easy hook

^not really good snipers just try to orb-walk with they're mini stun while the nabs one will stay on the same spot.

Agree!

Pudge can be countered by, Na'ix is obvious choice but since he has been picked a lot before Ima say that Jug can possibly counter him...the magic immune and omnislash...that is if you can get rid of his massive HP pool...It may not be the best choice but its one nonetheless

So the hero to beat now is good ol' Juggernaut.

Pudge is simply countered by observer wards, as almost every ganker.

Jugger's easily beat by a simple Ursa. Seriously, after, say, level 3, Jugg ain't got nothing on him.

Well I need to get10 posts

Doom simply counter every heroes. His ult is too badass

Pudge can be countered by omniknight. Both of his first two spells are effective against pudge.

Omniknight can be countered by Silencer. Simply stop his spells in their tracks.

Silencer is squishy and has no escape mechanism outside of something like a force staff so I gonna say Riki as a counter.

I'm thinking... Slardar. Faster, can reveal him, has stun. Two of them, if chance strikes.

Lich, is a good counter. In lane, slardar will receive less exp. If slardar is without bkb, ice armor will slow him. Just don't let him farm!
