Necrophos/Counters

Bad against...

 * Oracle possesses strong healing abilites to nullify any damage that Heartstopper Aura might inflict during the laning stage.
 * Oracle can use both Fate's Edict and False Promise to protect an ally from Reaper's Scythe.


 * Ice Blast completely nullifies all healing done via Death Pulse or Sadist, as well as from Mekansm/Guardian Greaves, which is frequently bought on Necrophos.


 * Spell Shield makes it very hard for Necrophos to kill Anti-Mage with Reaper's Scythe. Additionally, Blink allows Anti-Mage to easily engage or disengage, since Necrophos has no form of crowd control outside of his ultimate.
 * As with most low-mobility intelligence heroes, Anti-Mage can kill Necrophos easily with Mana Break and Mana Void.


 * If Rubick has Aghanim's Scepter befpre Necrophos and steal Reaper's Scythe, he can make Necrophos or his death teammates can't buyback. Especially if dying guy is core heroes. Rubick and his team get advantage.



Others
