How to counter Invoker

Invoker is a very versatile hero. It can adapt to any situation in the game. It has a vast range of abilities. Also, spheres have different effects, so it will be tough to cope with the hero, not knowing how to counter the Invoker.

An excellent counter pick of Invoker is a character on whom you need to buy Black King Bar or Orchid Malevolence. Also, characters who have abilities similar to the properties of the above items. The main thing is not to let this character kill you at the beginning of the game since if he gets a good gain of experience and gold at the start, it will be challenging to stop him after 20 minutes.
