Natalia is countered by heroes who can restrict her mobility like Minsitthar and Kaja since they can easily shutdown her main advantage.

Saber and Chou can cause a Stun effect on the target or Cyclops which can lock the target to stay in position, then continue with Silencing for 2 seconds from Natalia, resulting in a deadly combo to hunt down opponents who don't suspect our presence.
Generally, Marksman is Natalia's main food, except for Miya who has the Ultimate Skill which works like Purify to neutralize the effects of Silence from Natalia. Likewise with Irithel who has an AoE Skill and a Basic Attack that will become AoE when the Ultimate Skill is active, this will easily show where Natalia is hiding.
Yi Sun-Shin's Ultimate Skill can notify Nataliaâs whereabouts, not only eliminating her Invisibility at crucial times in Team Fight, but also continuously informing her teammates about Natalia's presence, so that the entire team gets information about the paths that are passed by Natalia.
