Anti-Mage/Counters

Bad against...

 * Despite his large mana pool, Outworld Devourer will almost always be with full mana, thanks to his essence aura. This makes him an unlikely target for Anti-Mage's Mana Void. However, a few unlucky essence aura and a disable
 * His Arcane Orb is pure damage, thus rendering Anti-Mage's Spell Shield useless.
 * Furthermore, it deals massive extra damage to illusions. Meaning he could one-shot Anti-Mage's illusions.


 * The burst physical damage of PA can destroy AM during his blink cooldown, or during a stun. He can withstand heavy magical burst, but he is still valnurable to physical damage.
 * Her evasion makes AM unable to do damage to her, unless he buys the very expensive Monkey King Bar.
 * PA has a abysmal mana pool and intel gain, making AM's Ultimate almost useless against her.


 * Duel renders AM's escape capabilities useless. A good initiation from Legion Commander and her team is enough to kill Anti-Mage without trouble.
 * After some successful duels, she gains a high physical damage burst, same deal with Phantom Assassin.
 * Doesn't rely much on mana, and has a small mana pool.


 * Doom can shut down AM's escape capabilities with his Ultimate, Doom. AM is a very vulnerable hero without his blink and he relies on casting his ultimate during a teamfight to deal heavy damage.
 * Again, very small mana pool. No mana reliance after he uses his ultimate.


 * Berserker's Call is a heavy lockdown that pierces spells immunity and can't be purged. Not only it locks AM in place for the enemy team to lay waste of him, but it also turns his farm and damage against him, with the use of Blademail.
 * Counter Helix deals pure damage. AM being a low HP hero with heavy magic (his passive) and acceptable physical resistance, is very vulnerable to pure damage.
 * Axe is infamous for his ability to dominate lanes alone. AM will always have a hard time to farm in a lane against Axe, even with a good support to help him.

Good against...

 * Anti-Mage won't feel Pugna's spells, since all of it are magical.
 * Pugna have a very large mana pool, which is devastating to both Pugna and his allies.


 * Storm Spirit tends to run out of mana pretty fast when either initiating or running away with his ultimate. A well timed AM ultimate often won't just take out the storm spirit, but any of his nearby teammates as well.
 * Storm is an evasive hero...but with the short cooldown on AM' blink he will be able to chase storm down, and finish him with his mana void.
 * All of Storm spirit his dammage is magical, getting the most out of AM's passive.
