- The damage dealt by Heartstopper Aura counters Doom`s high health. Additionally, Doom having high health means that Reaper`s Scythe does even more damage. Lastly, because Necrophos frequently buys Mekansm Item Old Abilities Changelogs MekansmB A glowing jewel formed out of assorted parts that somehow fit together perfectly.

- Soul Rip allows Undying to potentially restore massive amounts of health to units affected by Doom. Additionally, if Undying is the one Doomed and has had a chance to cast Flesh Golem, any units that die around him will heal him, possibly allowing him to survive.
- Meepo`s Divided We Stand allows to simply move a doomed Meepo away, while using the other Meepos to fight back.
- Doom has low armor and will easily get ripped apart by the combined physical attacks of the Meepos.
- Lifestealer`s Feast deals damage and heals Lifestealer based on the target`s current HP, which is very effective against naturally high @@@#@@@HP(hp.com)###@### heroes such as Doom.

- Doom relies on repeatedly casting Infernal Blade to deal damage. Viper can prevent this by slowing Doom down through Poison Attack, Corrosive Skin, and Viper Strike.
- The slow applied from Corrosive Skin offsets movement speed bonus from Scorched Earth, making it impossible for Doom to escape a Viper`s gank.
- Doom has low armor and is vulnerable to ranged physical attacks.
- Nethertoxin works fully on teammate, allowing Viper to readily deny his doomed ally.
- Doom relies on repeatedly casting Infernal Blade to deal damage. Drow can keep Doom at a distance through Frost Arrows and Gust.
- Doom has low armor and is vulnerable to ranged physical attacks.
- Doom does not disable Mana Shield, so Medusa can mitigate much of Doom`s damage unless she runs out of mana.
- Stone Gaze can petrify heroes and increase the physical damage they take by 100%. This is very effective against Doom because of his already low armor. This ability also slows down the movement speed heroes in the AoE, which may prevent Doom from closing in and casting Infernal Blade on allies.
- Doom has a limited mana pool in the early game and Mystic Snake may deprive him of mana needed to fight or cast Devour.
- Wraith King has three passive abilities and only a single active ability, so Doom does not hinder him significantly unless Doom has purchased Aghanim`s Scepter Item Upgraded Abilities Old Abilities Lore Changelogs Aghanim s Scepter The scepter of a wizard with demigod-like powers.

- Doom expires upon death, so it is effectively removed after Wraith King`s Reincarnation activates.
- Bounty Hunter can disrupt Doom`s farm through ganks, or harassing and killing him in the jungle.
- The movement speed bonus and vision from Track allows allied heroes to chase down Doom even if Scorched Earth is active.
- Bounty Hunter can scout out ganks from Doom, denying him opportunities for kills.
- Lone Druid acts as two tanky heroes at once through his Summon Spirit Bear. Dooming the bear can at best kill it and make the hero back off for two minutes while it comes off cooldown again. But usually the bear will just ignore it and fight as normal.
- Dooming the hero on the other hand leaves you vulnerable to the bear`s typically high physical DPS.

- Sniper can still fight back even while under the effects of Doom. He isn`t as reliant on his spells as most other heroes during teamfights.
- Alchemist will make a game of how many times he can get Chemical Rage off before Doom can Doom him, which is really easy for Alchemist to do. If he`s a good player, he will make sure that when Unstable Concoction goes off on himself (as he can`t throw it while Doomed) he is near Doom`s whole team. If he`s a great player, he`ll already have tossed the concoction before he gets doomed.
- Chemical Rage outheals the damage done from Doom and Scorched Earth. Even while Doomed, Alchemist will simply walk up to Doom and autoattack him to death, then move on to autoattack the rest of his team, essentially countering a 145 second cooldown ultimate with a 45 second cooldown ultimate. Doom is usually better off Dooming someone else unless he gets the element of surprise.
