Lion/Counters

Bad against...

 * His can temporarily immune to magical spell abilities, thus he can be your primary target when during team fights.


 * All Lion spells are magical abilities, thus enemy hero having buff active makes Lion unable to target him/her by using spells.


 * High base spell resistance makes Lion hard to kill it. Also you're not dealing with only 1 Meepo but 2-5 Meepo's (although a good works greatly against the Geomancer).


 * prevent Lion casting spells during team fights and can easily being killed due to his nuking abilities.


 * All of 's abilities are worth stealing with.

Others

 * is a great disabler, possibly the best one, but it comes with a price: being kinda fragile and depending on his spells, thus making him weak against nukers and spell counters (such as Silence, Magic Immunity, Dispels, etc).
 * He also lacks escape abilities and some Heroes, like, might take a good advantage of this.
 * is also another foe to, as can get easily near  and burst him down in seconds.  also has immunity to single target abilities when he casts , which  has 3, and the ability to dispel any debuff  throws at him with.

Items

 * can't do anything against . None of his spell can pierce it.
 * is a silencing item, countering 's kit.
 * , and other dispels will remove 's disable.
 * Beware of and .  will block any targeted ability, so it's recommended to use  first, and then after it has broken, cast your powerful disables., for other way, has the active ability , which will reflect any spell for the duration, so it's recommended to avoid casting spells while it is actived.

Good against...

 * has a very low manapool and depends on it to cast . 's will render him useless.


 * Lion has which is good spell to counter PA, and he can also kill PA with, thankfully to PA low hp pool.
