Anti Mage's great nemesis is Bloodseeker.He can silence him, make him unable to initiate/escape with Rupture, aaaannd he can outrun him if he falls under 40 % of his HP.

Noob ass dudes playing treant (or any other support) on your lane and stealing farm from you counters anti mage pretty efficiently..

^ oh yes bloodseeker is perfect. i think any dps who can silence should be good enough. a well-farmed silencer with orchid might also be able to counter am too since you have awesome pure damage. spiritbreaker is also a good choice as he can't escape much from your charge, but after that you'll have to pray you perma bash him, not to forget you have your ulti as well tough.

Natural counters to AM are every silencer (BS, NS, Doom, drow, prophet, orchid; no blink, no escape)
armor penalting heroes/items (SF, TA, Gondar, Invoker, Venge, MoC, Cuirass; he has magic resistance, but low hp and armor)
Other damage types (OD, Silencer, Ench, Tinker, Bane, Slardar, Dazzle, Jugger, Ursa; pure or physical)
even magic resistance penalting skills are enough (Pugna, decrep nullifies his shield and makes him unable to attack)
All generalizations are false... including this one.

According to my experience I think Bloodseeker is the best counter.

well that's true, rupture discourages am from escaping, bloodrage prevents him from blinking, thirst gives you free maphack. but then, if am stands and fight a bs he does stand a chance (assuming he has a decent farm) and if you bloodrage him it might backfire.
