Counter-Pick Magical Damage Lineup

[Bread Teleporter]

I have searched this many times online with no results.
If the enemy team is going to have lots of AOE magic damage, you need someone who can help their entire team against that. Who is this?
> Rubick's Null Field maybe, but I cannot play rubick for ♥♥♥♥, he is very high skill cap (I'm 1K MMR-ish, 1350 hours though).
> AM takes too long to get online and games normally end before that.
> Pipe has never really seemed like the 10% magic resistance aura does anything and while the active 400 magic damage shield seems nice, I'll probably forget to use it. This is the most likely to choose.
> While Omni's Repel is nice for 1 person it isn't for the entire team. I do play a mean Omni so if there was some way I could do something with him it would be nice.

BKB eh?

Centaur is quite good. He is a good pipe builder and also his ult reduces all dmg taken by 40% for the entire team once he has Agh's. Pipe is great, should learn not to forget to use it rather than writing it off.

Silencer is good. If they're heavily reliant on casting spells, then all being silenced is going to make them unable to do anything.

Pugna is good. Having his ward down will mean they're heavily punished for casting. A lack of r/click will mean they also struggle to kill it. Just be careful about using ethereal on a friendly target.

Glimmer cape is a good item for this. Cheap and quick CD means you can save people from magic dmg quite well.

Rubik is a good option as well. Not just because of passive, but spell heavy teams should have a lot of good ♥♥♥♥ to steal.

I must admit I do normally forget that that exists.
The problem is that alongside this is normally a quite a bit of Right Click as well. Like against Huskar TWICE yesterday, so even if you get BKB, as drow (me yesterday), you get killed so quickly.
I always though that lots of tank with blademail was quite good, they can just wait til it stops and focus down your team in the meantime, they would probably kill everyone else anyway. I think what I would want then is someone who hits hard and is tanky.
Dispersion works on ANY damage taken right?

abandon is also great he can take tons of magic damage and then heal with his ulti also you can save aliies with your spells
