What is this This reminds me of someone asking how to counter Razor's W... (saw some comments about Axe picked as a counter pick etc... also Ursa)

A lot of people underestimate the power of Wand. Easy way out is to always go wand.

Now, about all those "OP" melee heroes being annoying to players. Pick a ranged hero, or a caster with range attacks, or something that is ranged in some way, train yourself to abuse your advantages every time, see the windows of ur advantages until disadvantages (like fighting Bristleback with 0-2 stacks). Bristleback will go oom really soon real fast.

This is how you guys die to Bristleback: You attack him together, you both, or all 3 of you get the stacks, Bristle has defensive items and he keeps stacking the damage on you, and at 4+ stacks you simply get 1v3ed and think that Bristleback is strong.

This is how you kill Bristleback (sadly it's difficult to do it alone, but you will have 2 heroes vs him usually). You do not go together, you do your autoattacks, get 2 stacks and go back and focus on last hitting. Then your buddy focuses on right clicking him until 2 stacks, then you change, over and over, then he has no mana, if you select him, yes, you should select him, when you do select him and see that he has no mana, just go and kill him, no hero lives forever without mana, just make sure that you have no stacks before engaging him. You can do the same alone, but it's a slower process, this might be the case sometimes if your carry is melee or not so mobile and really wants to focus on last hitting.

Btw if you stun Bristle and burst him, just leave afterwards, don't continue the fight, he has no protection for a burst, he is stronger in a longer fight.

Axe is... idk how someone brought this up, u right click him as ranged, you throw spells at him and he's dead.

Ursa is a difficult version of Axe, if you're alone vs Ursa then you'll have a hard time, he's a counter to any non-caster/mage if that player is solo laining, that is the case where you need to gank Ursa and carry your offlane (or wherever Ursa is) or just outlevel Ursa 'cause he's too strong when he's dominating.
