WHY IT COUNTERS NYX ASSASSIN
Too many targets
Nyx Assassin struggles against multiple targets and has very few tools to deal with Meepo's clones.
Deletes him when caught
Once Nyx is revealed or caught, often after a Vendetta attempt, Earthbind and several Poofs quickly delete him.

WHY IT COUNTERS NYX ASSASSIN
Stops Vendetta ganks
Corrosive Haze hinders Vendetta ganks and cuts Nyx's armor, leaving his low health pool very vulnerable.
Runs him down
Guardian Sprint lets Slardar catch up with Nyx Assassin and finish him off once he has vision.
Tanky with little mana
Slardar is tanky enough to survive Nyx's burst, and his very low mana pool leaves little to burn.
