Silencer/Counters

Bad against...

 * His Shapeshifting spell is useful for killing or escaping from Silencer.


 * His play style won't use much spells but more items. Silencer's skill does not affect Arc Warden when farmed.


 * Slark's Dark Pact allows him to purge himself from Silencer's debuffs.

Broodmother relies less on spells and more on right-clicks, and her spiderlings can overwhelm SIlencer.


 * He can kill Silencer without using spells and Diffusal Blade takes away all of Silencer's mana.

Others

 * Oracle
 * Io
 * Chaos Knight
 * Anti-Mage
 * Naga Siren

Items

 * Diffusal Blade purging all Silencer's bad effect.
 * Diffusal Blade purging all Silencer's bad effect.

Good against...

 * Timbersaw is heavily reliant on his spells for damage and escape, allowing Silencer to effectively disable him and make him useless in both team fights and 1v1 scenarios.


 * Pugna is very reliant on his spells for damage.


 * Silencer can stop Rearm, preventing Tinker from spamming his abilities/items or escaping.


 * Bristleback will not be able to cast Viscous Nasal Goo or Quill Spray, effectively blocking a major part of the hero's damage and Warpath charges from stacking.


 * Silencer's abilities hamper Windranger's effectiveness in battle, preventing her from comboing her abilities and escaping using Windrun.

Works well with...

 * Silencer consumes a lot of mana and he lacks a stun/disable. Crystal Maiden helps with both of those issues.


 * Silencer's Global Silence can prevent enemy spells from disabling Anti-Mage while he breaks their mana.
