Good against...

 * Earthbind can prevent Anti-Mage from using, allowing Meepo to kill him with attacks and Ransack.


 * When Legion Commander uses on one Meepo, he can use his other Meepos to kill her. If he wasn't dueled, he can help the teammate who was duelled to give the teammate the damage instead of Legion Commander.

Others

 * See items and abilities disabled by roots
 * 's Nether Ward doesn't really hurt Meepo since he usually buys attribute items to tank up and can be killed very quickly by 4 clones. Decrepify can amplify Poof's damage should Pugna use it to avoid Meepo's right clicking.
 * cannot use Leap while rooted by Earthbind and her Moonlight Shadow is countered by Meepo's true sight that is provided by Earthbind.
 * 's abilities are single targeted and he can't use Mystic Flare to its fullest potential, since all Meepos spread the damage between them. He also has no disables to prevent Meepo from Poofing to another one (unless he can get off first).
 * 's Flux is meaningless against Meepo who loves to group up. Meepo is also a very good gap closer, so Arc Warden's Magnetic Field becomes useless.
 * 's most skills are single targeted which allows other Meepos to Poof, Earthbind and kill him.
 * 's Dark Pact and Pounce can deny only one Earthbind and Poof can penetrate Shadow Dance if he doesn't build Black King Bar.
 * 's Haunt with Radiance may be useful for countering Meepo but if Meepo finds the real one, Spectral Dagger is useless. Non-Black King Bar heroes like her will suffer from all of Meepo's abilities.

 * who can't fight multiple heroes will suffer greatly against Ransack and Earthbind.
 * 's Omnislash is meaningless for Meepo who can share the damage across clones to save other allies.
 * is heavily countered by Meepo, not only Meepo can kill the treants and Necronomicon summons (if he has it) with a single Poof, but he can also stop Nature's Prophet from using, and can gain vision inside.
 * 's Eclipse spreads damage to each target, so Meepo won't take all the damage.
 * 's Rage and Open wounds become useless when Meepo has 4 or more clones, as Ransack will heal Meepo too quickly for Lifestealer to take down.
 * 's Song of the Siren maybe useful but Poof will destroy all of her illusions.
