Hero Strategy
Prioritize using Shadow Word for healing instead for damage due to magic resistance.
Fatal Bonds latch onto fogged units.
Use Fatal Bonds to harass if you can link 4 lane creeps and 2 opponents on the lane.
Chaotic Offering destroys trees upon landing.
Be active when Chaotic Offering is up, organize smokes and farm with golem after the fight.
Pick up Aghanim's Shard around minute 15 as it improves your waveclear and damage significantly.
Once you have Aghanim Shard, you can use Upheavel to farm creep waves and jungle camps from a distance.
Counter Strategy
Warlock's Chaotic Offering has long cooldown. Look to fight when it is down.
Avoid clumping up and fighting in choke spots against Warlock's spells.
Most of Warlock's damage comes from Fatal Bonds. Dispel items are great at removing them.
Spell immunity is great against Warlock's spells.
Be aware of Warlock's Aghanim's Scepter and Refresher Orb timings. He can carry the game.
