Countering dark willow?

[Yoshi]

It's annoying because DW has root, stun, fear, and even invulnerability. Plus, DW can solo kill someone without taking any dmg. Since she's a new hero, I'm not sure how to counter her. Thanks!

Well for starters you should know it's not invulnerability. It's a slark ult without the regen so you can still hit her with AoE spells.

She's just immune to physical dmg but not magic skills? Is that right?

She's not immune to any damage, she's immune to being directly targetted. Any AoE will work against her regardless of damage type.

OOOOHH now I understand. What do you think are the best heroes to counter DW? As a carry, and/or support?

[grave shift]

bristleback is one of the best.

[Deepbluediver]

AFAIK all her damage is magic typed, so getting some immunity (BKB) or resistance would probably help a lot.

Any silence counters her. Dp, silencer, orchid etc.

Puck. He can dodge her super-strong attacks from the realm, he can easily use him 1st to get out of the maze, he can silence that damn Willow, and he got plenty AOE spells. Hands down, best counter.

Antimage. Lol

[Upgrayedd]

she has a sub 50 winrate.

Try watching some games from good players. She is a powerhouse, some people just pick her without even bothering to look up how the skills work beforehand. They drop the winrate by playing her incorrectly (position 5 solo support is a fcking crime with her).

That's hilarious considering how badly Juggernaut shuts her down.
