Anti-mage, Queen of Pain, Storm Spirit. They often require very quick disables, otherwise they're gone.

They aren't 'immune' but they are by far the hardest heroes to gank.

no hero is, now tricky heros to gank are ones that can escape, like slark, and riki, and queen of pain, and especially anti mage, they are difficult to gank, but a silence will stop any one of them in their tracks (like an orchid for example)

Slark is very hard to pin down, but Riki is stupidly easy to gank. His movespeed is very slow and his only 'escape' can be countered with 180 gold.

Puck is only difficult once they have blink dagger. Otherwise the only escape is a single blink.
I suppose you could use Venom wards to see what is happening outside the lane. Visage and Beastmaster can do something similar with their summons. Heroes with good escapes like Anti-Derp, Windginger, Puck, Queen of Pain can also leave quite fast in case you didn't notice the enemy getting closer... It really depends on is ganking and who is getting ganked though.

Honestly though, just pay attention to the map and put some wards to prevents ganks. I see a lot of people complaning when someone forget to call miss, but really? Pay attention to the whole map and not only your lane.

Or just call missing, like a good teammate.

Batman, I always do. Doesn't prevent some bad players from getting ganked though. It's even more cool when they constantly ping on you even though you actually called miss and he still didn't notice.

I have no association with the vigilante known as Batman.

Any hero with a defensive ability, Kunkka could be one for he can xmarks the spot torrent and ghost ship and your stunned for a bit, Invoker could be one for his tornado and ice wall. Sniper could be one for his long range and almost 100% Headshot/Ministun. Bane is definitely one and pretty much any disabler with 2 or more disables such as earthshaker, untouchable if your being chainstunned.

This is pretty sadly true. I often get things like:
'Cal misong cyka bliat mid'
'I said missing, take a look at the chat'
'oh ok'

He has no escape and his move speed is below avarage. He may be tough to kill, but if the enemy hits hard, he can't really do much. Maybe stun and hope that he manages to get to the tower in time.
