Ancient Apparition
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 8%)Axe
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 10%)Abaddon
* Culling Blade ignores 
Borrowed Time should Abaddon's health falls under the threshold.
Additional:
* 
Culling Blade's instant kill is not prevented by Borrowed Time should Abaddon's health falls below the threshold.
Morphling
* Jumping on Axe from 
Waveform he will be an easy target for a counter-initiation with Berserker's Call.
* Morphling is often played at low health to maximize the bonuses from 
Attribute Shift (Agility Gain), and also because his abilities cost health to use. This makes him especially vulnerable to Culling Blade.
* However, Morphling is common 
Linken's Sphere carrier to block Culling Blade forces Axe to use Battle Hunger to pop the Spell Block first.
* Attribute Shift (Agility Gain) gives Morphlig no protection against the pure damage of Culling Blade. Its attack speed bonus also means that Counter Helix will proc more often.
Anti-Mage
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 14%)Abaddon
* Mana Break drains Abaddon's mana, preventing him from using 
Aphotic Shield to zone out enemies in lane.
* Counterspell decreases the amount of damage received from Aphotic Shield and 
Mist Coil.
Morphling
* 
Counterspell's bonus magic resistance causes the 
Ethereal Blade and Adaptive Strike combo to deal significantly less damage.
* Counterspell's active component can reflect the Ethereal Blast and Adaptive Strike combo back into Morphling, dealing significant damage or even killing him.
* 
Mana Break combined with 
Manta Style can quickly burn away Morphling's mana, leaving him unable to use his spells.
Outworld Destroyer
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 2%)Abaddon
* 
Astral Imprisonment wastes Borrowed Time's duration.
* Outworld Destroyer's 
Sanity's Eclipse can kill Abaddon before Borrowed Time triggers.
Morphling
* 
Arcane Orb deals pure damage, effectively bypassing Morphling's high armor from Attribute Shift (Agility Gain).
* Sanity's Eclipse is more effective against a low health and mana pool Morphling, enabling Outworld Destroyer to burst Morphling down before he can shift to Strength.
Additional:
* Arcane Orb deals high damage regardless of Morphling's high armor from Attribute Shift (Agility Gain).
* Because of Morphling's very low intelligence gain and base intelligence, Sanity's Eclipse will almost always be effective against Morphling.
Silencer
[wiki] rating: 1.2 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 8%)Abaddon
* Heroes that have long silences, such as 
Night Stalker and 
Silencer, will prevent Abaddon from saving his allies effectively and disable the active component of Borrowed Time.
Morphling
* Heroes with silencing abilities that are not blocked by Linken's Sphere, like 
Puck's 
Waning Rift, 
Death Prophet's 
Silence or Silencer's 
Global Silence.
Naga Siren
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 2%)Abaddon
* 
Song of the Siren completely wastes Abaddon Borrowed Time while keeping him in place.
* Naga Siren is able to simply dispel Abaddon's 
Curse of Avernus with 
Mirror Image before getting hit 4 times consecutively.
* Although Naga Siren's illusions can be easily destroyed by Aphotic Shield, Naga Siren can resolve that issue easily by purchasing 
Heart of Tarrasque to drastically increase her tankiness. Plus, the said item makes Naga Siren harder to be distinguished from her illusions.
Elder Titan
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 1%)Morphling
* Most of Morphling's armor comes from his high agility and it is reduced by 
Natural Order.
* However, the aura has only 350 range and Elder Titan can be bursted down by Morphling's nuke combo if he isn't careful.
Additional:
* Morphling's high armor is primarily from 
Morphing agility, which is reduced by Natural Order therefore making the hero very vulnerable when it has morphed a lot into agility.
* Morphling usually will Morph into high agility and low strength. This can be taken advantage of with a good stun or silence or by bursting him down before he has the time to Morph back to strength.
* Morphling is very vulnerable to 
Blade Mail under Natural Order and can easily burst himself down with his own auto-attacks or his magical damage combo.
Brewmaster
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 2%)Abaddon
* Dispel Magic can remove Abaddon's Aphotic Shield or Curse of Avernus on an allied hero.
* Cyclone's lengthy duration wastes much of Borrowed Time's duration.
Additional:
* {U:Storm} can use 
Cyclone on Abaddon when he activates Borrowed Time, wasting its duration.
* 
Drunken Brawler and 
Thunder Clap hinder Abaddon from applying Curse of Avernus' silence on him.
Viper
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 7%)Abaddon
* Because Poison Attack has a low cooldown at all levels, Aphotic Shield is ineffective as a hard dispel.
* Nethertoxin prevents Borrowed Time from activating passively and blocks Curse of Avernus
Hoodwink
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 22%)Morphling
* Sharpshooter can kill easy when Morphling is going on full agility strategy (Only in early and mid game).
* Scurry can help to catch up Morphling when using 
Waveform or for escape.
Meepo
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 1%)Morphling
* 
Earthbind disables Waveform, effectively keeping Morphling in place for an extended period of time, allowing Meepo to deal considerable damage with 
Poof.
Rubick
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 17%)Morphling
* Rubick's ability to steal Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) makes him extremely annoying to deal with because Rubick's shifted attributes will remain even if he steals a new spell.
* If Rubick moves enough points to strength and then steals Adaptive Strike, he will have a powerful 3-second ranged stun in his arsenal as well.
* Waveform provides a reliable nuke/escape to Rubick.
Additional:
* Morphling's abilities can cause unique interactions on their own:
* Waveform is a damaging pseudo-blink, giving Rubick much needed mobility.
* 
Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) is a great ability for Rubick:
* The changes done by it are permanent even after losing the ability. Pumping all the agility into strength makes him much tankier. The armor loss due to reduced agility can be mitigated by cheap items like 
Medallion of Courage or 
Solar Crest.
* The extra strength allows Rubick to survive Morphling's Ethereal Blade - 
Adaptive Strike (Agility) combo.
* Beware when using Attribute Shift (Agility Gain)! Unlike Morphling, Rubick does not gain damage from it, since agility is not his primary attribute.
* 
Adaptive Strike (Strength) is a long-ranged stun.
* The true power of this ability is revealed when Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) has been stolen previously: it gives a 4 second ranged stun every 10 seconds, which greatly counters heroes with mobility, such as Morphling himself.
* All of Rubick's abilities break Linken's Sphere, a core item for Morphling.
Lina
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 14%)Abaddon
* Lina is a common 
Eul's Scepter of Divinity carrier which can waste some duration of Borrowed Time and following up with 
Laguna Blade if timed correctly.
Morphling
* Heroes with high damage output who can burst down Morphling before he has time to use Attribute Shift (Strength Gain), like 
Lina and 
Lion.
Additional:
* Light Strike Array catches Morphling while he jumps in from Waveform and also prevents Morphling from using his abilities.
* Laguna Blade can kill Morphling quickly before he shifts into Attribute Shift (Strength Gain).
Abaddon
* Both Lion's 
Finger of Death and Lina's Laguna Blade have a 0.25 second delay before the damage is dealt.
Underlord
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 8%)Morphling
* 
Underlord's 
Atrophy Aura reduces Morphling's high base damage gained through agility shift.
Night Stalker
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 5%)Abaddon
* Heroes that have long silences, such as Night Stalker and Silencer, will prevent Abaddon from saving his allies effectively and disable the active component of Borrowed Time.
Puck
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 14%)Morphling
* Heroes with silencing abilities that are not blocked by Linken's Sphere, like Puck's Waning Rift, Death Prophet's Silence or Silencer's Global Silence.
Winter Wyvern
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Morphling
* 
Winter Wyvern's 
Winter's Curse turns Morphling's high attack damage and attack speed against his targeted teammate.
Troll Warlord
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 9%)Morphling
* Heroes that rely on right-clicks will find that their attacks will miss a lot, due to Whirling Axes (Melee)'s miss chance. Such heroes include 
Phantom Assassin, 
Terrorblade, and 
Morphling.
Jakiro
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 11%)Morphling
* Jakiro's early pushing ability from Liquid Fire makes Jakiro very strong against heroes, that take a long time to get online: Morphling, 
Naga Siren, 
Spectre.
Mars
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 16%)Abaddon
* Heroes who cannot fight back during Arena of Blood in the early and mid game: 
Abaddon, 
Anti-Mage, 
Broodmother, 
Drow Ranger, 
Luna, 
Sniper, 
Troll Warlord, 
Weaver, 
Clinkz.
Arc Warden
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Morphling
* Arc Warden can counter Morphling's strong pushing capabilities by using 
Magnetic Field to protect buildings.
* Arc Warden also often builds an 
Orchid Malevolence or 
Bloodthorn, which can prove dangerous for Morphling.
* Arc Warden can easily break Linken's Sphere with 
Flux and then slow him with 
Spark Wraith, making Arc Warden's 
Tempest Double a legitimate threat as well.
Morphling
* 
Slark, 
Lifestealer, Morphling and such with a good escape mechanism are a nuisance to deal with in the early-game.
Void Spirit
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 10%)Morphling
* Void Spirit can greatly pressure Morphling's farm, which is very bad for a hero who needs a large amount of space.
* Waveform does not provide better mobility than Astral Step.
* If Morphling shifted all of his strength to agility, he can be bursted down by Void Spirit before he can react.
* Doing an Ethereal Blade combo on Void Spirit is incredibly difficult, as Dissimilate and Astral Step can allow him to escape or dodge the projectile.
Abaddon
* Heroes that can purge his slow and disables are very difficult to go on and their team: Abaddon, 
Oracle.
Shadow Demon
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 3%)Abaddon
* Shadow Demon with an 
Aghanim's Scepter will use 
Demonic Purge to disable Curse of Avernus and the passive component of Borrowed Time. If this is combined with a silence, Borrowed Time will not trigger at all.
* Even without Aghanim's Scepter, he can still waste Borrowed Time with 
Disruption. Curse of Avernus fully works on illusions, turning the passive ability against him.
Abaddon
* Heroes who can dispel will be able to remove Shadow Poison before Shadow Demon can build up a big stack, or remove Soul Catcher's debuff to instantly bring the health of affected heroes back to a considerable amount: Abaddon, Slark, 
Legion Commander, Oracle.
Bloodseeker
[wiki] rating: -2.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 2%)Morphling
* Morphling can escape from 
Rupture using Waveform.
* Morphling is a typical Manta Style carrier, which can be used to dispel the silence from 
Blood Rite.
* Morphling can easily kill Bloodseeker with Ethereal Blade and Adaptive Strike combo if either hero is under the effects of 
Bloodrage.
Additional:
* Waveform ignores Rupture's damage, letting Morphling escape unharmed.
* Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) makes it very hard for Bloodseeker to kill Morphling or gain his Thirst bonuses, since Morphling can use it to sustain damage while trading attacks when Ruptured.
* Morphling usually builds Linken's Sphere, which blocks Rupture.
* Morphling usually builds Ethereal Blade, which can be used to turn himself or an ally ethereal, and avoid Bloodseeker's attacks.
Abaddon
* Borrowed Time makes Abaddon nearly impossible to gank.
* Aphotic Shield and Mist Coil prevents Bloodseeker from gaining his Thirst bonuses.
Additional:
* If Rupture is used on Abaddon, Abaddon can use Borrowed Time and easily heal for the duration of Borrowed Time by simply moving.
Shadow Shaman
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 13%)Abaddon
* 
Omniknight can dispel Hex or Shackles with 
Heavenly Grace. He can also heal teammates which you disabled. The same goes to Abaddon's Aphotic Shield .
Morphling
* Waveform allows Morphling to escape from Mass Serpent Ward
* Morphling can interrupt Shadow Shaman while he is shackling an ally with Adaptive Strike (Strength).
* With Ethereal Blade Morphling can quickly burst him down before he even has a chance to react.

[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 4%)Morphling
* Heroes with Linken's Sphere as core item: Weaver, Morphling, 
Medusa.
Abaddon
* Aphotic Shield effectively nullifies Primal Roar's single-target initiation on allies.
* Even being initiated by Primal Roar, Borrowed Time can make Abaddon extremely difficult to kill.
Additional:
* 
Primal Roar can be instantly dispelled by Aphotic Shield.
* The debuffs from 
Wild Axes and 
Poison from 
Call of the Wild: Boar can also be dispelled by Aphotic Shield.
Lifestealer
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 5%)Morphling
* Lifestealer is a great target for Morphling to use Morph, as he can use 
Rage to gain spell immunity and a movement speed boost.
Terrorblade
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 6%)Morphling
* Heroes with high base damage (Morphling, 
Tiny, Drow Ranger), heroes with mana burning abilities (Anti-Mage), and 
Diffusal Blade users (
Juggernaut or 
Riki) will suffer from Reflection's illusions.
Morphling
* Morphling common combo Ethereal Blade and Adaptive Strike (Agility) can easily burst down Terroblade, bypassing his high armor.
* Morphling is likely to burst down Terrorblade due to his high armor, 
Attribute Shift.
Abaddon
* Heroes who can negate effects of Sunder: Abaddon, 
Faceless Void, Weaver.
Phantom Assassin
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 17%)Morphling
* Morphling's naturally high armor thanks to his high agility makes it hard for Phantom Assassin to take him down with 
Coup de Grace.
* Phantom Assassin is vulnerable to magical damage, falling easily to Adaptive Strike + Ethereal Blade combo.
Additional:
* Morphling's high armor serves as a direct counter to Phantom Assassin, causing her attacks to do far less damage. She is also very vulnerable to burst damage, and can be brought down quickly using his Ethereal Blade and 
Adaptive Strike combo.
Snapfire
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 10%)Abaddon
* Aphotic Shield prevents damage and dispels the slow from Snapfire's 
Mortimer Kisses.
* Borrowed Time allows Abaddon to gain HP during Snapfire's Mortimer Kisses.
Witch Doctor
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 12%)Morphling
* Morphling can Attribute Shift to strength after being hit by Maledict. Since Maledict deals its damage based on the difference between HP on cast and HP after two seconds, odds are Morphling will have more HP than when Maledict was cast, thus resulting in no damage.
* On the upside, players prone to panicked reactions may Morph to agility, making Maledict even more efficient than intended.
* Adaptive Strike (Strength) can interrupt Death Ward at a decent range.

Pudge
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 22%)Abaddon
* Abaddon can activate Borrowed Time to dispel Dismember; breaking the disable and potentially allowing Abaddon to escape.
* Aphotic Shield can be cast on an ally to dispel the stun of Dismember, which can make kills difficult to secure, given that Dismember is Pudge's only reliable disable.
* Pudge lacks a mobility without a 
Blink Dagger, causing him to be easily chased with Curse of Avernus. The silence also prevents him from toggling off his Rot.
Slardar
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 9%)Abaddon
* Abaddon can cast Aphotic Shield on any of his allies to immediately dispel Corrosive Haze and/or the stun and the slow components of Slithereen Crush.
* All of Slardar's debuffs are also removed if Abaddon's Borrowed Time triggers.
Sniper
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 5%)Morphling

* Sniper's low health also makes him extremely vulnerable to Morphling's Ethereal Blade and Adaptive Strike combo.
Legion Commander
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 13%)Abaddon
* Aphotic Shield and Mist Coil makes it hard for Legion Commander to kill Abaddon's teammates in Duels.
* Borrowed Time makes Abaddon nearly impossible to kill in Duels, and often replenishes much of his health because Legion Commander cannot manually stop attacking during Duels.
Huskar
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 2%)Abaddon
* Huskar's damage over time gives Abaddon the opportunity to shield and heal his allies.
* Borrowed Time also makes Abaddon a hard support to gank, thus negating Huskar's early game dominance.

* By using Morph, Morphling can use Windrun and Shackleshot to counter Windranger herself.
* Waveform can allow Morphling to easily chase down Windranger.

Drow Ranger
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 8%)Morphling

Gust and 
Frost Arrows.

Clockwerk
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 7%)Morphling

Power Cogs with Waveform.
* Even if Morphling is trapped in Power Cogs, Morphling can use Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) to survive the duration.

[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 3%)Morphling
* Heroes with silencing abilities that are not blocked by Linken's Sphere, like Puck's Waning Rift, Death Prophet's Silence or Silencer's Global Silence.
Additional:

Chaos Knight
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 4%)Abaddon
* Abaddon could punish Chaos Knight for using Phantasm and Reality Rift combo on him with his Aphotic Shield. Additionally, it provides extra protection against Chaos Knight's potential to take Abaddon down quickly.

Vendetta, Abaddon can use Borrowed Time and easily heal for the duration of Borrowed Time by his burst damage.
Doom
[wiki] rating: -0.2 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 3%)Abaddon
* 
Doom will make Abaddon unable to use Mist Coil, Aphotic Shield, and the active component of Borrowed Time, which means his allies could be easily disabled or killed.
*

Remote Mines will always trigger Borrowed Time, making them impossible to kill Abaddon unless his resistances are lowered enough or Abaddon is affected by Break.
* Abaddon can easily dispel the long-lasting root of

Abaddon
* Heroes that can deny Slark early kills will prevent him from snowballing: Dazzle, Abaddon
Lion
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 15%)Morphling
* 
Mana Drain rapidly saps Morphling's already low mana pool, making him unable to use Waveform or Adaptive Strike. Additionally, 
Hex prevents these abilities as well.
* An 
Earth Spike and Finger of Death combo can burst an unwary Morphling down if he has his strength fully shifted to agility.
Abaddon
* Although Finger of Death can potentially bypass Borrowed Time, Finger's delayed damage allows an Abaddon with fast enough reaction time to activate Borrowed Time and heal from Finger.
* Aphotic Shield is extremely effective against both Earth Spike and Hex, nullifying the stun or hex while preventing further damage.
* Lion's lack of escape mechanisms allows Abaddon and his allies to pursue him with Curse of Avernus.
Necrophos
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 4%)Morphling
* 
Necrophos's 
Reaper's Scythe can finish off a low-health Morphling.
Abaddon
* Heroes who possess abilities that can save targets from being killed by Reaper's Scythe: Abaddon, 
Bane, Outworld Destroyer, 
Shadow Demon, Omniknight, etc.
Additional:
* If he isn't silenced, Abaddon can use Borrowed Time to escape Reaper's Scythe during the delay.
Earth Spirit
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 9%)Morphling
* 
Geomagnetic Grip is not blocked by Linken's Sphere and can silence Morphling, preventing Morphling from using Waveform or Attribute Shift to escape from ganks.
* In addition, 
Boulder Smash and 
Rolling Boulder provide a solid lockdown if used together.
Abaddon
* Aphotic Shield is a strong dispel, meaning it can save allies from Earth Spirit's stun, slow, silence, and Magnetize.
* Borrowed Time makes it nearly impossible for Earth Spirit to kill Abaddon.
Skywrath Mage
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Morphling
* 
Arcane Bolt's low cooldown allows him to deal consistent damage to Morphling, and is a viable way to disable Linken's Sphere.
* 
Ancient Seal prevents Morphling from using any of his skills, giving Skywrath Mage and his team ample time to burst Morphling down.
* 
Mystic Flare coupled with a stun/root can easily burst Morphling down, especially if he has more stats shifted to Agility.
* Alternatively, Morphling can use Morph to use Skywrath Mage's own silence and nukes against him.
Abaddon
* Aphotic Shield removes silences, slows and stuns, possibly foiling a full-duration Mystic Flare.
* Borrowed Time makes it impossible to burst Abaddon down, even healing him up due to Mystic Flare's damage.
Mirana
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 16%)Morphling
* 
Sacred Arrow's long stun duration can prevent Morphling from casting his Waveform or Morph Replicate, making him unable to escape and easier to gank.
* 
Moonlight Shadow also allows Mirana's team to surprise Morphling while he tries to push towers.
* Mirana usually buys Linken's Sphere to protect herself from single-target abilities, making Morphling's Adaptive Strike and Ethereal Blade harder to use on her.
* However, Mirana also provides a chance to become a good Morph target, allowing Morph to use 
Leap to run away, if necessary.
Abaddon
* Abaddon can remove Sacred Arrow's stun from his teammates with Aphotic Shield, or remove it from himself with Borrowed Time.
* Borrowed Time makes Abaddon almost impossible to burst down with Mirana's Aghanim's Scepter combo.
Additional:
* Sacred Arrow can be instantly dispelled by Aphotic Shield.
Abaddon
*
Chilling Touch's damage component can easily overwhelm Aphotic Shield's damage block.
Ice Blast's nullifies Abaddon healing from Borrowed Time and Mist Coil and it is not dispelled by Aphotic Shield.
Borrowed Time's and 
Mist Coil's healing.
*
Additional:
* Ice Blast nullifies
Morphling
*
Ice Blast stops Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) from recovering additional health, and using it will even bring Morphling closer to the shatter threshold. 
Ice Vortex slows Morphling's already poor movement speed to a crawl; this, coupled with the amplification of magic damage, can set up an early kill on Morphling if Ancient Apparition has a suitable lane partner.
* In lane,
