Doom wins fights by cursing one hero with Doom, which dispels it, silences it and stops healing while damage ticks, and Infernal Blade adds a stun and a burn based on maximum health. Doom pierces spell immunity, so Black King Bar does not save the target. Blocking or reflecting the cast itself is the answer.
Counter items
Linken's SphereSpellblock absorbs a Doom cast, which needs a single target.
Lotus OrbEcho Shell bounces the Doom curse back, silencing him instead of the carry.
