Drow Ranger kills from range, slowing with Frost Arrows and silencing with Gust, while Marksmanship adds attacks that ignore base armor. Marksmanship is disabled while an enemy hero stands within a short distance, so closing the gap turns off her best passive. Multishot arrow damage pierces spell immunity, but the Frost Arrows slow does not.
Counter items
Blink DaggerJumping next to her disables Marksmanship, which needs space from enemy heroes.
Black King BarAvatar blocks the Frost Arrows slow and Gust, though Multishot damage still pierces.
Ghost ScepterGhost Form blocks her physical attacks for a short window, but cannot attack back.
