How to play Meepo against counters

items, your spells and what to fear — per enemy
vs TinyTiny punishes stacked Meepos with Avalanche + Toss — keep clones spread and fight with root and BKB.

What to build against it

Black King BarAvalanche doesn't pierce BKB, so Tiny's stun combo on Meepo stops working.
Heaven's HalberdDisarm shuts off Tiny's huge tree-and-Grow hits during the fight.
Scythe of VyseHex stops Tiny from casting Avalanche and Toss on your group.
Aeon DiskSaves you from the instant Avalanche + Toss burst that kills one clone and all Meepos.

How to use the spells of Meepo

EarthbindRoot Tiny early and kite; he's melee and without blink can't reach his combo.
DigIf a clone gets caught in Avalanche and drops low, Dig instantly; invulnerability and heal dodge the Toss.
PoofDon't Poof everyone onto one spot near Tiny — it's a perfect Avalanche target.

Watch out for Tiny

AvalancheAoE stun hits all Meepos at once — stay spread and step out of the area.
TossAvoid standing near units by Tiny: Toss throws the nearest and damages the landing area.
vs Queen of PainQoP burns Meepos with magic and Sonic Wave — lock her with root and silence before she blinks.

What to build against it

Black King BarShadow Strike and Scream of Pain don't pierce BKB — only Sonic Wave remains.
BloodthornSilence cuts Blink and all QoP spells, so she can't escape or fight back.
Scythe of VyseHex reliably holds mobile QoP for all Meepos to focus.

How to use the spells of Meepo

EarthbindThrow the net right after she blinks in — the root stops her blinking out.
DigDig dispels Shadow Strike's slow and lets you survive Scream with a heal.
PoofPoof poisoned clones back to the main Meepo — don't let the DoT finish one off.

Watch out for Queen of Pain

Sonic WavePure damage that pierces BKB — never line up all Meepos in front of her.
Scream Of PainHits everyone around her — don't surround QoP with low-HP clones.
vs Ember SpiritEmber kills stacked Meepos with Sleight of Fist and escapes via remnants — silence or hex him and stay spread.

What to build against it

Black King BarSearing Chains and remnant explosions are magic that doesn't pierce BKB.
BloodthornSilence stops Ember from escaping to a remnant or casting chains.
Scythe of VyseHex fully disables mobile Ember while you focus him.

How to use the spells of Meepo

DigDig during Sleight of Fist makes Meepo invulnerable and dispels the chains.
EarthbindRoot Ember after he spends remnants, otherwise he just flies away.
PoofA chained clone can Poof to another Meepo to escape the damage.

Watch out for Ember Spirit

Sleight of FistHits everyone in the area and pierces BKB — don't group all Meepos.
Searing ChainsChains anchor nearby enemies — keep clones apart from each other.
vs SnapfireSnapfire shreds stacked Meepos with AoE globs — engage fast and never stand in pools.

What to build against it

Black King BarScatterblast, Mortimer Kisses and Spit Out don't pierce BKB.
Blink DaggerInstant gap-close onto fragile Snapfire before she starts spitting.
Scythe of VyseHex disables Snapfire so she can't cast her ult or cookie.

How to use the spells of Meepo

EarthbindRoot Snapfire and dive: her ult has 600 minimum range, so it can't hit you point-blank.
DigDig dispels Scatterblast and pool slows while restoring HP.
PoofPoof clones out of ult pools to a Meepo standing outside.

Watch out for Snapfire

Mortimer KissesPools slow and burn the whole group — spread out and close distance to Snapfire.
ScatterblastPoint-blank it hits harder and slows more — don't walk in one by one head-on.
vs BeastmasterBeastmaster catches Meepo with BKB-piercing Primal Roar — Linken's is key, kill summons fast.

What to build against it

Linken's SpherePrimal Roar is unit-targeted, so Linken's blocks it on the protected Meepo.
Black King BarWild Axes and Drums of Slom are magic that doesn't pierce BKB.
Scythe of VyseHex prevents Beastmaster from initiating with Roar in a fight.

How to use the spells of Meepo

DigDig dispels Raptor roots and the Boar's slow.
EarthbindThe net roots both hero and summons — catch them all and focus Beastmaster.
PoofPoof damages at departure and arrival — use it to clear his summons quickly.

Watch out for Beastmaster

Primal RoarThe stun pierces BKB — keep Linken's up and don't walk one Meepo ahead.
Wild AxesAxes amplify damage on hit targets — step out of their path.
