WHY IT COUNTERS AXE
Strong against strength heroes
Whirling Death lowers a strength hero's primary attribute, which makes Timbersaw great against Axe.
Barely triggers Counter Helix
Timbersaw has a low attack speed, so Counter Helix is almost entirely pointless against him.
3 Necrophos Carry · Nuker · Durable

WHY IT COUNTERS AXE
Healing ruins Culling Blade
Necrophos heals his team often, so Axe struggles to get targets under the Culling Blade threshold.
Easy Reaper's Scythe target
Reaper's Scythe stops Axe from using Berserker's Call again, and since he stands in the middle of the fight, he is easy to kill with it.
