Anybody who can win the lane against him from lvl1 so he can't get a big soul count and maintains power later to keep him down and can help in ganks on him.

QE Invoker rapes SF so hard, if I know I'm going up against him I'll get an early blades of attack to rape him even harder. Cold snapping them while they're desperately trying to raze is always hilarious to watch.

Winning a lane against a SF is like winning a lane against a Bloodseeker, you just need to out last hit them and control the lane. And yea, Q/E invoker is hilarious. Last hitting and denying against SF's abysmal starting damage is hilarious.

What do you guys think it's more important: Having first pick, or choosing a side (dire)? In M5 vs CLG lobby, PGG won the coinflip and chose first pick. I always thought you would go for dire rather than having first pick.

Well if you have a draft ready, first pick might be what you want. In general side is better I think

From playing SF a lot myself i'll say that the biggest problem i have is viper.
When he reaches level six you only have to overextend once and only slightly for him to be able to kill you, and he outlast hits you easily early on.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

Thank you for replies. Its just I had SF and Pudge against me in the enemy team few times now and had to pick mid so I went storm (because I know how to play him at least a little bit) and won lane vs SF, against my own expectations. Just wanted to check other possibilitys without looking like a idiot.^^

I think storm vs sf is a lot about rune control.

That's why you gank SF on mid, and that's why smoke ganks hurt him so much. He would win a 1v1 vs almost anybody especially when he can get a lot of souls

Very dumb statement, that's like saying every hero can win mid lane with good play.

There are heroes that cannot beat a particular hero even with good play. But it is not dumb to say that good play with a good hero is enough to come out on top vs most heroes purely based on inherent strengths.

It's not a dumb statement, entirely.
SF has the kit to dominate mid completely and utterly if the match-up really was 1v1 with no other players affecting it.
Once he's gotten a few last hits in his damage will be plenty to last hit and he can easily nuke down waves to force the enemy to give up on EXP and gold if he wants to go for runes as well.
