Phantom Lancer
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 5%)Spectre
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 17%)Oracle
* Oracle's burst damage is ineffective against 
Dispersion.
* Disarm provided by Fate's Edict is not as significant debilitation for Spectre as it might be for other carries since She can do damage even without landing attacks.
Arc Warden
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 9%)Templar Assassin
* Arc Warden's 
Flux tears through Refraction charges almost instantly. Should he have a 
Tempest Double and no creeps are around, a 75% slow means almost certain death.
* Meld is useless against 
Spark Wraith.
Additional:
* Flux wastes Templar Assassin's 
Refraction unless she has a 
Black King Bar or a 
Manta Style.
* Spark Wraith can be used to bully a Templar Assassin that used 
Meld.
Sand King
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 7%)Templar Assassin
* Sand King can quickly remove her Refraction with his Sand Storm.
* Once Refraction is down, she is very vulnerable to Epicenter's high magic damage.
Huskar
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 3%)Templar Assassin
* Huskar's burn damage from 
Burning Spear is incredibly strong against Templar Assassin as it completely cancels out her Refraction from the burning over time which results in making her very vulnerable to being ganked or harassed, and in turn forcing her out of the lane.
Windranger
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 24%)Templar Assassin
* Windranger's 
Focus Fire tears apart Templar Assassin's refraction very quickly and easily bursts here down due to her low health pool against Windranger's immense attack speed
* Templar Assassin's "Psionic Trap" doesn't slow down Windranger due to her skill 
Windrun
* Templar Assassin's high damage can also be easily evaded thanks to Windrun's 100% evasion
Shadow Shaman
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Templar Assassin
* Shackles and Mass Serpent Ward instantly destroy Refraction
Viper
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 5%)Templar Assassin
* The damage over time from Viper's 
Poison Attack and 
Viper Strike rapidly wear down Refraction charges, allowing Templar Assassin to be damaged. Additionally, 
Corrosive Skin causes her attacks to apply damage over time on her as well.
* 
Nethertoxin is a big threat to Templar Assassin. Her initially low range making it very hard to deal against Nethertoxin in laning phase. At any stage of the game, a Nethertoxin can always force her to undo her Meld.
Additional:
* All of Viper's abilities quickly burn through Refraction charges.
* Templar Assassin's short range, aside from 
Psi Blades' spill damage, makes her vulnerable to Poison Attack harassment.
* Templar Assassin traditionally forgoes health and armor items for damage. Outside of Black King Bar, Viper will almost always be able to kill her when Refraction is down.
Axe
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 10%)Oracle
* False Promise will not save an ally from 
Culling Blade if their health is low enough.
* Fate's Edict, offensively or defensively, does little to protect Oracle's allies from the majority of Axe's damage.
Brewmaster
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 2%)Templar Assassin
* The three Primal Split brewlings all attacking Templar Assassin at once will remove her Refraction quickly, especially with Fire's Permanent Immolation.
* Templar Assassin has no way to stop Brewmaster from using Primal Split by herself, and may get unlucky and miss her Meld if trying to burst him during her ally's disable.
Pudge
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 24%)Templar Assassin
* His 
Rot can force Templar Assassin out of her Meld and destroy all of her Refraction charges quickly, and her small health pool and meager defense make her very vulnerable to his 
Meat Hook without Refraction.
Dragon Knight
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 2%)Templar Assassin
* Despite the armor reduction from Meld, Templar Assassin's reliance on physical damage and medium attack speed is unlikely to harm Dragon Knight.
* Templar Assassin's Refraction charges also get quickly removed by the damage over time from Dragon Knight's ultimate.
Additional:
* The damage over time from Dragon Knight's 
Elder Dragon Form rapidly burns down Refraction, allowing him to attack her. Also, 
Breathe Fire reduces Templar Assassin's damage and 
Dragon Tail is a stun with a considerable duration, letting him and his team whittle her health down once her defenses wear off.
Bristleback
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 5%)Oracle
* Fortune's End cannot dispel 
Warpath stacks on Bristleback or 
Quill Spray stacks on allies.
* 
Bristleback can heavily reduce Oracle's damage output. With it, Oracle may accidentally heal Bristleback with Purifying Flames, especially if Bristleback has bonus magic resistance.
Broodmother
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 3%)Oracle
* Oracle cannot easily deal with swarms of units, making him weak against heroes like 
Phantom Lancer or 
Broodmother.
Riki
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 5%)Templar Assassin
* Because Templar Assassin does not have escape potential in lane, any support hero with roaming potential and a 
Dust of Appearance can be great at shutting her down early game: 
Earth Spirit, 
Spirit Breaker, 
Tusk, 
Bounty Hunter, 
Riki, 
Warlock.
Bloodseeker
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 6%)Templar Assassin
* Heroes with invisibility will be detected by Thirst when they have low enough health: Bounty Hunter, 
Templar Assassin, Riki, 
Clinkz, 
Weaver, 
Treant Protector, 
Nyx Assassin.
Night Stalker
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 6%)Oracle
* Heroes with long disables, like 
Lion, 
Night Stalker, or 
Legion Commander, can prevent Oracle from using spells or items.
Enigma
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 3%)Templar Assassin
* Multiple attackers thanks to summoned units or clones: 
Meepo, 
Witch Doctor, 
Lycan, 
Enigma, 
Shadow Shaman
* Heroes that can quickly deal damage to her, regardless of how weak they are, can easily break through her Refraction:
* Multiple attackers thanks to summoned units or clones: Meepo, Witch Doctor, Lycan, Enigma, Shadow Shaman
* Multiple attackers thanks to illusions: Phantom Lancer, 
Chaos Knight, 
Naga Siren (bonus for her 
Ensnare). Also despite the visual effects, Templar Assassin does not spill damage against illusions or buildings, so she is not a really good hero to clean up illusions.
* Weak damage but high tick rate or persist in a long time: 
Slark, 
Gyrocopter, 
Queen of Pain, Shadow Shaman (
Shackles), 
Pugna
Visage
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 1%)Oracle
* Because Oracle uses few, powerful instances of damage to kill enemies, Templar Assassin's Refraction and 
Visage's 
Gravekeeper's Cloak can absorb his burst damage.
Lycan
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 1%)Templar Assassin
* Multiple attackers thanks to summoned units or clones: Meepo, Witch Doctor, Lycan, Enigma, Shadow Shaman
* Heroes that can quickly deal damage to her, regardless of how weak they are, can easily break through her Refraction:
* Multiple attackers thanks to summoned units or clones: Meepo, Witch Doctor, Lycan, Enigma, Shadow Shaman
* Multiple attackers thanks to illusions: Phantom Lancer, Chaos Knight, Naga Siren (bonus for her Ensnare). Also despite the visual effects, Templar Assassin does not spill damage against illusions or buildings, so she is not a really good hero to clean up illusions.
* Weak damage but high tick rate or persist in a long time: Slark, Gyrocopter, Queen of Pain, Shadow Shaman (Shackles), Pugna
Spirit Breaker
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Templar Assassin
* Because Templar Assassin does not have escape potential in lane, any support hero with roaming potential and a Dust of Appearance can be great at shutting her down early game: Earth Spirit, Spirit Breaker, Tusk, Bounty Hunter, Riki, Warlock.
Chaos Knight
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 3%)Templar Assassin
* Multiple attackers thanks to illusions: Phantom Lancer, Chaos Knight, Naga Siren (bonus for her Ensnare). Also despite the visual effects, Templar Assassin does not spill damage against illusions or buildings, so she is not a really good hero to clean up illusions.
* Heroes that can quickly deal damage to her, regardless of how weak they are, can easily break through her Refraction:
* Multiple attackers thanks to summoned units or clones: Meepo, Witch Doctor, Lycan, Enigma, Shadow Shaman
* Multiple attackers thanks to illusions: Phantom Lancer, Chaos Knight, Naga Siren (bonus for her Ensnare). Also despite the visual effects, Templar Assassin does not spill damage against illusions or buildings, so she is not a really good hero to clean up illusions.
* Weak damage but high tick rate or persist in a long time: Slark, Gyrocopter, Queen of Pain, Shadow Shaman (Shackles), Pugna
Earth Spirit
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 7%)Templar Assassin
* Because Templar Assassin does not have escape potential in lane, any support hero with roaming potential and a Dust of Appearance can be great at shutting her down early game: Earth Spirit, Spirit Breaker, Tusk, Bounty Hunter, Riki, Warlock.
Additional:
* Templar Assassin is dependant on Refraction in teamfights. Because Magnetize deals damage per second and Earth Spirit is even able to refresh the duration of his ultimate he is suitable for wasting Refraction and allowing his team to take her down.
Timbersaw
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)Oracle
* Heroes who are not easily crippled by Fate's Edict or Fortune's End, such as 
Timbersaw, or those who can dispel them, such as Phantom Lancer, can kill Oracle unhindered.
Naga Siren
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 2%)Templar Assassin
* Multiple attackers thanks to illusions: Phantom Lancer, Chaos Knight, Naga Siren (bonus for her Ensnare). Also despite the visual effects, Templar Assassin does not spill damage against illusions or buildings, so she is not a really good hero to clean up illusions.
* Heroes that can quickly deal damage to her, regardless of how weak they are, can easily break through her Refraction:
* Multiple attackers thanks to summoned units or clones: Meepo, Witch Doctor, Lycan, Enigma, Shadow Shaman

* Weak damage but high tick rate or persist in a long time: Slark, Gyrocopter, Queen of Pain, Shadow Shaman (Shackles), Pugna
Additional:
* Ensnare disables Lanaya's invisibility and Blink Dagger (a core item on Templar Assassin), and her illusions will break Refraction easily.
Elder Titan
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 2%)Oracle
* 
Elder Titan's 
Echo Stomp can turn into a 5 second stun on an ally under the effect of False Promise, as it delays all damage and makes it impossible to break the damage threshold of Echo Stomp.
Queen of Pain
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 15%)Templar Assassin
* Weak damage but high tick rate or persist in a long time: Slark, Gyrocopter, Queen of Pain, Shadow Shaman (Shackles), Pugna

* Multiple attackers thanks to summoned units or clones: Meepo, Witch Doctor, Lycan, Enigma, Shadow Shaman
* Multiple attackers thanks to illusions: Phantom Lancer, Chaos Knight, Naga Siren (bonus for her Ensnare). Also despite the visual effects, Templar Assassin does not spill damage against illusions or buildings, so she is not a really good hero to clean up illusions.
* Weak damage but high tick rate or persist in a long time: Slark, Gyrocopter, Queen of Pain, Shadow Shaman (Shackles), Pugna
Tusk
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 6%)Templar Assassin
* Because Templar Assassin does not have escape potential in lane, any support hero with roaming potential and a Dust of Appearance can be great at shutting her down early game: Earth Spirit, Spirit Breaker, Tusk, Bounty Hunter, Riki, Warlock.
Meepo
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 1%)Templar Assassin
* Multiple attackers thanks to summoned units or clones: Meepo, Witch Doctor, Lycan, Enigma, Shadow Shaman
* Heroes that can quickly deal damage to her, regardless of how weak they are, can easily break through her Refraction:
* Multiple attackers thanks to summoned units or clones: Meepo, Witch Doctor, Lycan, Enigma, Shadow Shaman
* Multiple attackers thanks to illusions: Phantom Lancer, Chaos Knight, Naga Siren (bonus for her Ensnare). Also despite the visual effects, Templar Assassin does not spill damage against illusions or buildings, so she is not a really good hero to clean up illusions.
* Weak damage but high tick rate or persist in a long time: Slark, Gyrocopter, Queen of Pain, Shadow Shaman (Shackles), Pugna
Slark
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 13%)Templar Assassin
* Weak damage but high tick rate or persist in a long time: Slark, Gyrocopter, Queen of Pain, Shadow Shaman (Shackles), Pugna
* Heroes that can quickly deal damage to her, regardless of how weak they are, can easily break through her Refraction:
* Multiple attackers thanks to summoned units or clones: Meepo, Witch Doctor, Lycan, Enigma, Shadow Shaman
* Multiple attackers thanks to illusions: Phantom Lancer, Chaos Knight, Naga Siren (bonus for her Ensnare). Also despite the visual effects, Templar Assassin does not spill damage against illusions or buildings, so she is not a really good hero to clean up illusions.
* Weak damage but high tick rate or persist in a long time: Slark, Gyrocopter, Queen of Pain, Shadow Shaman (Shackles), Pugna
Additional:
* Dark Pact rips through Refraction charges and still steals attributes during Refraction.
* Pounce and Dark Pact will still hit Templar Assassin while she is Melded. Since she cannot move, both abilities will be easy for Slark to land.
Gyrocopter
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 2%)Templar Assassin
* Weak damage but high tick rate or persist in a long time: Slark, Gyrocopter, Queen of Pain, Shadow Shaman (Shackles), Pugna
* Heroes that can quickly deal damage to her, regardless of how weak they are, can easily break through her Refraction:
* Multiple attackers thanks to summoned units or clones: Meepo, Witch Doctor, Lycan, Enigma, Shadow Shaman
* Multiple attackers thanks to illusions: Phantom Lancer, Chaos Knight, Naga Siren (bonus for her Ensnare). Also despite the visual effects, Templar Assassin does not spill damage against illusions or buildings, so she is not a really good hero to clean up illusions.
* Weak damage but high tick rate or persist in a long time: Slark, Gyrocopter, Queen of Pain, Shadow Shaman (Shackles), Pugna
Underlord
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 56% pickrate: 10%)Templar Assassin
* Firestorm will destroy Refraction charges very quickly.
* Firestorm will hit Templar Assassin while Melded.
* Templar Assassin has a hard time maneuvering around Pit of Malice.
Templar Assassin
* In general, heroes that provide vision will see Dark Rift coming: 
Techies, Templar Assassin, Treant Protector
Venomancer
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 12%)Templar Assassin
* Windranger's Focus Fire tears apart Templar Assassin's refraction very quickly and easily bursts here down due to her low health pool against Windranger's immense attack speed
* Templar Assassin's "Psionic Trap" doesn't slow down Windranger due to her skill Windrun
* Templar Assassin's high damage can also be easily evaded thanks to Windrun's 100% evasion
Additional:
* Venomous Gale and Plague Wards allow to quickly melt through Refraction charges.
* Both Poison Nova and Venomous Gale hit invisible units, so Meld cannot be used defensively.
Oracle
* Fortune's End and False Promise easily dispel many crippling debuffs, such as 
Venomancer's 
Venomous Gale, or 
Skywrath Mage's 
Ancient Seal.
Additional:
* 
Fortune's End can dispel Venomous Gale and Poison Sting from allies.
* 
Fate's Edict grants 100% magic resistance to target, inhibiting the damage from Venomancer abilities.
Juggernaut
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 19%)Templar Assassin
* Blade Fury's damage over time dispels Refraction almost instantly.
* Juggernaut's high armor allows him to survive for long enough to remove Refraction and threaten her with Omnislash as long as he or his team carries detection.
* Templar Assassin's short attack range makes it difficult for her to target a well-placed healing ward. She cannot splash onto it with Psi Blades.
Oracle
* Heroes with abilities that can save are also effective such as 
Shadow Demon, 
Dazzle, 
Oracle, 
Bane, Pugna, Tusk, 
Winter Wyvern, 
Io, 
Underlord, Treant Protector and 
Keeper of the Light.
Faceless Void
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 17%)Oracle
* 
Time Walk and 
Backtrack allow Faceless Void to easily negate Oracle's burst damage.
* 
Time Dilation is effective against Oracle's low-cooldown spells. Although dispellable with Fortune's End, it can still catch Oracle off guard if Fortune's End is on cooldown.
Oracle
* Any hero that can nullify effects of Chronosphere: (
Omniknight, Keeper of the Light with 
Aghanim's Scepter during daytime, Winter Wyvern), banishing him or Faceless Void (
Outworld Devourer, Shadow Demon, Earth Spirit with Aghanim's Scepter) or protecting him in other ways (Dazzle, Oracle, 
Abaddon) can greatly limit Chronosphere's potential.
Razor
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 1%)Templar Assassin
* Razor's 
Eye of the Storm damage-over-time easily wear off Refraction charges, allowing Templar Assassin to be damaged.
* 
Static Link empties Templar Assassin's damage output even with the bonus from Refraction, and will keep doing that even if the Razor cannot see her during Meld.
* 
Plasma Field and 
Storm Surge can easily strike her during Meld.
Oracle
* Fortune's End can catch out or impair position-based heroes with low mobility, such as 
Sniper or 
Razor.
Pangolier
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 9%)Templar Assassin
* Swashbuckle quickly burn away Refraction charges.
* Lucky Shot can possibly disrupt Templar Assassin when she is boosted with Refraction.
* Pangolier's abilities which does not need to target and has big area of effect allows him to damage her even during Meld.
* Pangolier's high mobility easily shrug off the slow from 
Psionic Trap.
Templar Assassin
* Powerful physical hitters that can destroy Pangolier during his rolling from afar: 
Drow Ranger, Sniper, Templar Assassin, 
Arc Warden
Shadow Demon
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 3%)Oracle
* 
Disruption can protect Shadow Demon's allies from Fortune's End, preserving healing or buffs. It can also catch Oracle's allies, allowing 
Shadow Poison and 
Soul Catcher to be used without being dispelled.
* 
Demonic Purge prevents over-time healing during False Promise, such as Purifying Flames and 
Urn of Shadows. If he has Aghanim's Scepter, this issue can persist for longer or on multiple allies.
* It will not, however, prevent healing from instant abilities, items, or auras, making 
Mekansm a good choice against him.
Oracle
* 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.
Techies
[wiki] rating: -2.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 7%)Oracle
* Since Techies' skills are all magical damage, casting Fate's Edict immediately upon hearing the warning sound from 
Proximity Mines and 
Blast Off! can render Oracle or an ally immune to the burst damage from these skills.
* If timed correctly, 
Remote Mines can also be countered using the same technique.
Additional:
* Fate's Edict gives 100% magic resistance, which prevents most of Techies' damage and his Fortune's End dispels Stasis Trap root.
Templar Assassin
* Refraction can be very useful in safely navigating potentially mined choke points and rune spawns.
Ancient Apparition
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 7%)Templar Assassin
* Fragile supports with low armor are always a good prey, also her Psionic Trap will wear down most attempts to flee with their built-in disables: 
Silencer, 
Crystal Maiden, Warlock, 
Ancient Apparition, 
Grimstroke, Witch Doctor
Oracle
* False Promise can prevent the shatter from 
Ice Blast and Fate's Edict can protect an ally from the magical damage over time for a while.
* Oracle can deny allies who are frostbitten. If he uses Purifying Flames to reach the shatter threshold, it will count as a deny.
* Fortune's End can dispel 
Cold Feet on affected allies, preventing them from getting frozen.
Additional:
* 
False Promise can dispel the stun from Cold Feet and can save an ally that's about to shatter from Ice Blast, even allowing healing with 
Purifying Flames because of the delayed effect.
* Purifying Flames also allows Oracle to deny his allies if they're affected by Ice Blast. If he brings his allies' health to or below the shatter threshold, it will count as him denying the ally.
* Fate's Edict is good against all of Ancient Apparition's abilities at all stages of the game.
* Fortune's End can dispel Cold Feet from allies.
Void Spirit
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 12%)Oracle
* Heroes that can purge his slow and disables are very difficult to go on and their team: Abaddon, Oracle.
Templar Assassin
* Refraction negates all of Void Spirit's burst damage.
* Meld quickly burns through 
Resonant Pulse.
Sven
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 14%)Templar Assassin
* Sven has no easy way to burn Refraction charges and needs help from teammates to kill TA successfully.
Oracle
* Fate's Edict cripples many heroes who rely on attacks, such as 
Phantom Assassin, 
Sven, or 
Enchantress, without a dispel or a Black King Bar.
Keeper of the Light
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 43% pickrate: 3%)Templar Assassin
* Heroes that can jump and kill him: Meepo, Clinkz, Templar Assassin
Oracle
* Heroes with dispels: Legion Commander, Oracle, Slark
Sniper
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 6%)Templar Assassin
* Heroes with powerful nuke can waste their precious abilites on her Refraction during a ganking attempt or chaos combat: 
Lich, 
Lina, Sniper, Outworld Devourer 
Zeus
Oracle
* Fortune's End can catch out or impair position-based heroes with low mobility, such as Sniper or Razor.
Phantom Assassin
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 13%)Oracle
* Fate's Edict cripples many heroes who rely on attacks, such as Phantom Assassin, Sven, or Enchantress, without a dispel or a Black King Bar.
Templar Assassin
* Heroes who can delivers a big chunk of damage in few hits will find themselves struggle against Templar Assassin's Refraction: Sven, Phantom Assassin, 
Ursa, 
Wraith King, 
Lifestealer
Wraith King
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 8%)Oracle
* Heroes with area dispel can kill multiple skeletons at once: 
Brewmaster, Oracle.
Templar Assassin
* Heroes who can delivers a big chunk of damage in few hits will find themselves struggle against Templar Assassin's Refraction: Sven, Phantom Assassin, Ursa, Wraith King, Lifestealer
Ember Spirit
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 11%)Oracle
* Oracle can shut down both of Ember's early game abilities. Fortune's End can dispel 
Flame Guard on Ember Spirit and 
Searing Chains on allies.
* When Ember Spirit is affected by Fortune's End, his 
Fire Remnants move at 0 movement speed.
* Disarming him with Fate's Edict does affect Ember's 
Sleight of Fist ability, possibly making him useless for a few seconds in the late game without a dispel or spell immunity. This is especially good if he has a rapier or two. However, positioning for this is difficult when Ember plays far back.
Witch Doctor
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 13%)Templar Assassin
* Multiple attackers thanks to summoned units or clones: Meepo, Witch Doctor, Lycan, Enigma, Shadow Shaman
* Heroes that can quickly deal damage to her, regardless of how weak they are, can easily break through her Refraction:
* Multiple attackers thanks to summoned units or clones: Meepo, Witch Doctor, Lycan, Enigma, Shadow Shaman
* Multiple attackers thanks to illusions: Phantom Lancer, Chaos Knight, Naga Siren (bonus for her Ensnare). Also despite the visual effects, Templar Assassin does not spill damage against illusions or buildings, so she is not a really good hero to clean up illusions.
* Weak damage but high tick rate or persist in a long time: Slark, Gyrocopter, Queen of Pain, Shadow Shaman (Shackles), Pugna
Templar Assassin
* Fragile supports with low armor are always a good prey, also her Psionic Trap will wear down most attempts to flee with their built-in disables: Silencer, Crystal Maiden, Warlock, Ancient Apparition, Grimstroke, Witch Doctor
Oracle
* It is especially easy for Oracle to negate the damage from Maledict, and even heal through it with Fate's Edict and Purifying Flames.
* If by some miracle an enemy is still about to die because of Maledict, he can still save him with False Promise.
Rubick
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 21%)Oracle
* Oracle's high magic damage output can easily take down Rubick's low health pool.
* Because Oracle likes to combine his spells together, the only good 
Spell Steal target he gives is False Promise. This scenario can be avoided by shift queueing Fortune's End and casting it immediately, as it has no cast point, or by staying in the back line of fights if out of mana.
* As a position based hero, Rubick will have a very hard time against Fortune's End due to its absurd range and very long root duration.
Centaur Warrunner
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 5%)Templar Assassin
* Centaur has nothing to deal with Refraction that will negate all of his burst damage.
* Psionic Traps provide good vision, making for him harder to initiate.
Shadow Fiend
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 11%)Templar Assassin
* Shadow Fiend's fragility and lack of a natural escape mechanism makes him a great target for Templar Assassin's Meld.
* Shadow Fiend's burst damage, such as 
Shadowraze and 
Requiem of Souls, is easily nullified by her Refraction.
Troll Warlord
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 4%)Oracle
* Fate's Edict can disarm Troll, rendering him useless in a teamfight, especially if he has already used Battle Trance.
* Fortune's End and Purifying Flames can provide ample magic damage to help burst down Troll Warlord quickly in the early to mid game.
* False Promise can save an ally from Troll Warlord's initiation, forcing him to switch targets and lose his Fervor stacks, or waste time during Battle Trance.
Earthshaker
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 12%)Templar Assassin
* Her Psionic Traps will usually disable Earthshaker's 
Blink Dagger prior to a teamfight, preventing him from initiating.
* Refraction blocks all of Earthshaker's abilities.
Invoker
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 21%)Templar Assassin
* Templar Assassin can easily counter Invoker's last hitting process in the early game with Refraction. Refraction also negates the stun from Cold Snap, since it will need to deal damage in order to apply its stun.
* Additionally, Refraction completely blocks damage from Sun Strike should Invoker try to finish her off, provided she activate Refraction beforehand.
Omniknight
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 1%)Oracle
* Fortune's End's AoE dispel will remove Guardian Angel.
Additional:
* With Fortune's End, Oracle can dispel 
Guardian Angel in an area of effect.
Dark Willow
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 6%)Oracle
* Fortune's End can easily dispel 
Cursed Crown before it times out and stuns. He can also save a stunned ally with False Promise.
* Fate's Edict can easily negate 
Bedlam's over-time damage, since the spell provides no form of control. Similarly, he can also negate the magic burst from 
Shadow Realm.
* Fortune's End can dispel the fear effect from 
Terrorize, and it can remove the root from 
Bramble Maze if you're quick enough. Be mindful that Fortune's End only dispels your allies' debuffs on the primary target.
Additional:
* Fortune's End not being disjointable is almost an ensured disable if Dark Willow tries to escape with Shadow Realm. Dispels Cursed Crown and Terrorize.
* Fate's Edict negates all her magic damage in case she catches a single hero.
* False Promise's strong dispel removes Dark Willow's disables.
Necrophos
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 7%)Oracle
* Fortune's End can dispel 
Ghost Shroud, rending Necrophos vulnerable to physical damage. Also it's worth noting that Necrophos takes additional magic damage when in Ethereal state, which makes Purifying Flames a powerful nuke against him.
* Fate's Edict fully negates the damage from 
Reaper's Scythe, which its own delayed animation makes it relatively easy to predict and nullify.
Additional:
* During the laning stage, Oracle's Purifying Flames nullifies any damage that Heartstopper Aura might inflict.
* Fate's Edict and False Promise can protect an ally from Reaper's Scythe.
* Oracle can dispel Ghost Shroud with Fortune's End.
Grimstroke
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 10%)Templar Assassin
* Fragile supports with low armor are always a good prey, also her Psionic Trap will wear down most attempts to flee with their built-in disables: Silencer, Crystal Maiden, Warlock, Ancient Apparition, Grimstroke, Witch Doctor
Enchantress
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 3%)Oracle
* Heroes with little health or magic resistance are easily picked off with Oracle's magic burst, such as Skywrath Mage, Crystal Maiden, or Enchantress.
Outworld Devourer
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 3%)Templar Assassin
* Heroes with powerful nuke can waste their precious abilites on her Refraction during a ganking attempt or chaos combat: Lich, Lina, Sniper, Outworld Devourer Zeus
Additional:
* Refraction blocks most of the damage dealt with Arcane Orb and Sanity's Eclipse if used correctly, and is difficult for Outworld Devourer to deal with.
* If Astral Imprisonment is on cooldown, then an Outworld Devourer slowed by Psionic Trap is an easy kill for Templar Assassin, especially during the laning stage.
Lifestealer
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 8%)Templar Assassin
* Heroes who can delivers a big chunk of damage in few hits will find themselves struggle against Templar Assassin's Refraction: Sven, Phantom Assassin, Ursa, Wraith King, Lifestealer
Ursa
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 6%)Templar Assassin
* Heroes who can delivers a big chunk of damage in few hits will find themselves struggle against Templar Assassin's Refraction: Sven, Phantom Assassin, Ursa, Wraith King, Lifestealer
Additional:
* Templar Assassin usually places Psionic Traps inside the Roshan Pit (and can teleport herself to the traps with an Aghanim's Scepter), preventing Ursa from killing Roshan without getting noticed by the enemy team.
Lina
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 13%)Templar Assassin
* Heroes with powerful nuke can waste their precious abilites on her Refraction during a ganking attempt or chaos combat: Lich, Lina, Sniper, Outworld Devourer Zeus
Silencer
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 6%)Oracle
* Oracle's reliance on spamming his spells can be easily hindered by Silencer's Arcane Curse.
* Last Word and Global Silence negates Oracle's attempt to save his allies with his spells.
* Fate's Edict is useless against Glaives of Wisdom's pure damage.
Oracle
* Fortune's End can nullify 
Arcane Curse, 
Last Word, and 
Global Silence, if cast at the right time with the right targets.
* Fate's Edict can prevent Silencer from attacking, which he relies on with 
Glaives of Wisdom, for a lot of his damage.
Templar Assassin
* Fragile supports with low armor are always a good prey, also her Psionic Trap will wear down most attempts to flee with their built-in disables: Silencer, Crystal Maiden, Warlock, Ancient Apparition, Grimstroke, Witch Doctor
Doom
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 9%)Oracle
* Heroes with the ability to heal allies, or those with good defensive abilities: (
Chen, Dazzle, Io, Oracle, Omniknight, Witch Doctor, Winter Wyvern, (Abaddon, etc.

Dark Willow, Enigma, 
Invoker, Pugna, Skywrath Mage, 
Tinker, Zeus, Oracle.

Lich
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 12%)Templar Assassin
* Heroes with powerful nuke can waste their precious abilites on her Refraction during a ganking attempt or chaos combat: Lich, Lina, Sniper, Outworld Devourer Zeus
Skywrath Mage
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 7%)Oracle
* Heroes with little health or magic resistance are easily picked off with Oracle's magic burst, such as Skywrath Mage, Crystal Maiden, or Enchantress.
Mirana
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 13%)Oracle
* Heroes that can protect or dispel stunned allies such as Legion Commander, Outworld Devourer, Shadow Demon and Oracle can reduce the effectiveness of Sacred Arrow.
Bane
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 6%)Oracle
* Heroes with dispels can dispel Bane's disables from their allies: Oracle, Legion Commander, Omniknight
Drow Ranger
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 13%)Templar Assassin
* Fragile carries with no reliable escaping mechanism can be bursted down in no time: Sniper, Drow Ranger, Clinkz
Puck
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 6%)Templar Assassin
* Heroes that have disposable area-targeted spells can force her to undo her Meld: 
Leshrac, 
Puck, 
Tiny. An experienced Templar Assassin could try to Refraction before Meld so she can tank through those damage without getting her Blink disabled.
Templar Assassin
* None of Puck's abilities have any damage-over-time components, meaning that Refraction is a valuable form of defense against Puck's lane harassment.
* Psi Blades deals pure damage and spills over instantly. Puck cannot reliably dodge the damage with Phase Shift.
Leshrac
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 2%)Templar Assassin
* Heroes that have disposable area-targeted spells can force her to undo her Meld: Leshrac, Puck, Tiny. An experienced Templar Assassin could try to Refraction before Meld so she can tank through those damage without getting her Blink disabled.
Oracle
* Oracle's Fate's Edict will protect an ally from Leshrac's nuking damage.
* Oracle's False Promise can dispel Leshrac's stun and slow from his abilities, allowing an ally to escape.
* Fortune's End can stop Leshrac from chasing opponents or running away.
Legion Commander
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 14%)Oracle
* Heroes with long disables, like Lion, Night Stalker, or Legion Commander, can prevent Oracle from using spells or items.
Oracle
* Fate's Edict prevents Legion Commander from attacking for a few seconds, potentially saving Oracle's ally.
* Fortune's End dispels Press the Attack's healing and attack speed buff, as well as the movement speed bonus from Overwhelming Odds.
* False Promise protects allies and prevents Legion Commander from winning Duels and gaining bonus damage.
Additional:
* Provided that the enemy team does not have an 
Axe, Oracle can guarantee that his ally survives for the duration of the Duel with False Promise and has decent nuke potential to help ally to win a Duel. He can also disarm Legion Commander with Fate's Edict.
* Oracle can dispel enemy buffs like 
Overwhelming Odds and 
Press the Attack with Fortune's End.
Slardar
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 9%)Templar Assassin
* Heroes who can provide True Sight are always credible threats: 
Slardar, Bounty Hunter, especially Zeus since his 
Lightning Bolt provides True Sight without the need to detect her beforehand to apply the debuff. So even a late-coming Zeus can easily scout a large area to reveal her, and she cannot purge herself from his sight with the dispel talent.
Oracle
* Fortune's End applies a basic dispel which can be used to dispel Corrosive Haze, or even Slardar's own Guardian Sprint.
* False Promise is able to dispel Corrosive Haze and Slithereen Crush stun/slow from any allies Oracle chooses to cast it on.
* Fate's Edict can also be cast on Slardar to prevent him from proccing his Bash of the Deep.
Anti-Mage
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 16%)Oracle
* Anti-Mage can withstand magical burst damage much better than other carries, making him effective against nukers: Lich, 
Necrophos, Oracle, and Leshrac.
Additional:
* Oracle has minimal damage potential against Anti-Mage due to 
Counterspell, and may even have some ability damage reflected at himself.
* Anti-Mage can easily overwhelm Oracle with 
Mana Break and 
Mana Void.
* 
Blink allows Anti-Mage to easily chase and take advantage of Oracle's low mobility.
Templar Assassin
* Refraction protects against Anti-Mage's low burst damage, and allows her to win most fights against Anti-Mage during the early game.
* Meld's burst damage and armor reduction is often enough to finish off Anti-Mage before he Blinks away.
Zeus
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 14%)Templar Assassin
* Heroes that avoid damage by coming in and out of invisibility in teamfights such as Weaver, Templar Assassin, and Riki will be easy for Zeus to reveal with Lightning Bolt and Thundergod's Wrath, but these heroes usually have other ways to avoid his damage or kill him, so he is not a perfect counter alone.
Templar Assassin
* Refraction blocks all of Zeus' damage and Zeus has no innate way of removing the instances quickly.
* Meld helps burst down Zeus' small health pool while he's still working through the Refraction instances.
* Psi Blades allow her to harass and zone Zeus in lane.
* Templar Assassin usually buys Blink Dagger, enabling her to quickly close the gap to Zeus' defensive positioning.
Crystal Maiden
[wiki] rating: -0.2 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 13%)Templar Assassin
* As with other heroes mentioned in this section, Templar Assassin is not a hero that is fully "countered" by Crystal Maiden (the way she is against 
Viper and Jakiro), however, the proper combination and execution Crystal Maiden's spells, stacked with her team, can most certainly spell the end for Templar Assassin.
* Frostbite can quickly eat away Refraction charges, leaving Templar Assassin vulnerable for the rest of her team to kill.
* Freezing Field will still apply damage to Templar Assassin when she is under the effect of Meld, making it an even less viable form of escape until a Blink Dagger is purchased.
* Blink Dagger is also cancelled by all of Crystal Maiden's spells, and the fairly short cooldowns on Frostbite and Crystal Nova make her a great asset to a chase against Templar Assassin.
* This is not to say that Templar Assassin has any difficulty killing off the low armor, low HP pool Crystal Maiden, so fighting her alone is never advised.
Templar Assassin
* Fragile supports with low armor are always a good prey, also her Psionic Trap will wear down most attempts to flee with their built-in disables: Silencer, Crystal Maiden, Warlock, Ancient Apparition, Grimstroke, Witch Doctor
Oracle
* Heroes with little health or magic resistance are easily picked off with Oracle's magic burst, such as Skywrath Mage, Crystal Maiden, or Enchantress.
Batrider
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 3%)Templar Assassin
* Batrider's abilities are designed to deal damage over time, burning through Templar Assassin's layers extremely quickly. 
Flamebreak applies 7 instances of damage, burning through the entirety of Refraction, and 
Firefly applies damage on the place, forcing her to either get out of Meld and be attacked or stay in place or be incinerated.
Additional:
* Batrider's DoT damage quickly removes Templar Assassin's Refraction and can damage her during Meld.
Oracle
* False Promise dispels Flaming Lasso.
* Fortune's End can root Batrider after he uses Flaming Lasso. It can also dispel Sticky Napalm and Flamebreak.
* Fate's Edict when used on a Lasso'd target will leave them immune to magical damage, making it difficult to burst them quickly before the Lasso ends.
Tiny
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 17%)Templar Assassin
* Heroes that have disposable area-targeted spells can force her to undo her Meld: Leshrac, Puck, Tiny. An experienced Templar Assassin could try to Refraction before Meld so she can tank through those damage without getting her Blink disabled.
Templar Assassin
* Due to Tiny's non-existent agility gain, high physical damage heroes are more effective against him (Clinkz, Phantom Assassin, Templar Assassin, Ursa, Wraith King etc).
Lion
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 15%)Oracle
* Heroes with long disables, like Lion, Night Stalker, or Legion Commander, can prevent Oracle from using spells or items.
Oracle
* Lion is extremely dependent on his abilities. Silences like Silencer's Last Word, magic resistance like Oracle's Fate's Edict, and dispels like Legion Commander's Press the Attack all make his abilities less effective.
Phoenix
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 13%)Templar Assassin
* 
Icarus Dive allows Phoenix to shrug off the slow from her trap and make an easy escape from her ambush.
* As Templar Assassin relies on her quality-over-quantity bursting attacks to make quick work on fragile target, 
Fire Spirits' attack speed reduction can cripple her ability to deals any damage during combat. With the debuff applied in early-mid game, a Meld-breaking hit from her is significantly slowed to the point that her target can make a safe distance before she even landed the hit.
* 
Sun Ray has quick damage tick and will burn through her Refraction in no time.
* 
Supernova deals damage over time in an incredibly large area, and again with her quality-over-quantity style, she may not be able to attack quickly enough to break through the Phoenix Sun by herself. (not to mention the debuff from Fire Spirits) This can lead to a failed ganking attempt or even a turnaround.
Additional:
* Her Refraction charges can and will be easily burned away by Phoenix's damage over time abilities, and Meld can't protect her from Phoenix's AoE abilities, even without detection.
Oracle
* Phoenix does significant magic damage over time which can either be dispelled or negated by Fate's Edict.
* Since Phoenix sacrifices some of his health to cast abilities it makes him very vulnerable to Oracle's burst potential
Jakiro
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 14%)Templar Assassin
* All of Jakiro's active skills can be targeted on an area, which is effective at forcing Templar Assassin to move should she Meld away.
* Many of Jakiro's spells utilize damage-over-time mechanics, which makes it easy to strip away layers of Refraction.
Oracle
* Fate's Edict allowed Oracle to make allies spell immune, allowing him to save allies from Jakiro's spells.
* Fate's Edict can be cast onto Jakiro to disarm him and prevent him from pushing with his Liquid Fire.
* False Promise allows Oracle to free allies from Jakiro's Ice Path.
Bounty Hunter
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 5%)Templar Assassin
* Because Templar Assassin does not have escape potential in lane, any support hero with roaming potential and a Dust of Appearance can be great at shutting her down early game: Earth Spirit, Spirit Breaker, Tusk, Bounty Hunter, Riki, Warlock.
Oracle
* Oracle with Fortune's End and False Promise
* Heroes that can remove the Track debuff with their skills:
* Abaddon with 
Aphotic Shield and 
Borrowed Time
* Huskar with 
Life Break
* 
Juggernaut with 
Blade Fury
* Legion Commander with Press the Attack
* Lifestealer with 
Rage and 
Infest
* Naga Siren with 
Mirror Image
* Omniknight with 
Heavenly Grace
* Oracle with Fortune's End and False Promise
* Phantom Lancer with 
Doppelganger
* Slark with 
Dark Pact
* Ursa with 
Enrage
* Weaver with 
Time Lapse
* Tidehunter with 
Kraken Shell when damage received reaches the threshold.
Pugna
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Templar Assassin
* Pugna's 
Decrepify can render Templar Assassin's physical attacks useless.
* Pugna can also cast 
Life Drain on Templar Assassin, burning her Refraction instances.
* On the other hand, Pugna generally has low health and armor. Use this to your advantage.
Oracle
* Most of Pugna's damage is magical, which can get blocked by Fate's Edict's 100% magic resistance.
* Oracle has two abilities that apply a dispel, which can easily remove Decrepify on his ally or Oracle.
* Oracle has a very long Attack Range and a very low Base Attack Time, which enables him to take down Nether Ward swiftly from long distance.
Beastmaster
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 2%)Templar Assassin
* Attacks from Boars and Inner Beast will quickly wear down Refraction.
* 
True Sight provided by Level 3 
Necronomicon can see Templar Assassin in Meld.
Oracle
* False Promise effectively nullifies Primal Roar's single-target initiation on allies.
* Purifying Flames kills Beastmaster's Hawk instantly and Boar with two casts.
Ogre Magi
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 16%)Templar Assassin
* The damage block instances of Refraction can be burned down with Ignite.
Oracle
* Fate's Edict gives full immunity from Ogre Magi's mostly magical damage.
* Fortune's End can dispel Ignite (when used on allies) and Bloodlust (when used on enemies).
* False Promise can dispel Ignite and Fireblast.
Warlock
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 8%)Templar Assassin
* Because Templar Assassin does not have escape potential in lane, any support hero with roaming potential and a Dust of Appearance can be great at shutting her down early game: Earth Spirit, Spirit Breaker, Tusk, Bounty Hunter, Riki, Warlock.
Additional:
* Warlock can cast 
Upheaval when Templar Assassin uses Meld, preventing escape.
* Warlock can also send his {U:Warlock Golem} near where she used Meld, preventing escape by Blink Dagger due to the {U:Warlock Golem} 
Permanent Immolation.
Templar Assassin
* Fragile supports with low armor are always a good prey, also her Psionic Trap will wear down most attempts to flee with their built-in disables: Silencer, Crystal Maiden, Warlock, Ancient Apparition, Grimstroke, Witch Doctor
Dark Seer
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 5%)Templar Assassin
* Ion Shell destroys Refraction's protection stacks in short time.
* Surge ignores the massive slow from Psionic Trap.
Oracle
* Fortune's End can dispel 
Ion Shell, which cripples Dark Seer economy since it's his most efficient tool for farming.
* Fortune's End can dispel 
Surge, effectively slowing his movement speed making him vulnerable to ganks or skirmishes.
Additional:
* Fortune's End dispels Ion Shell and Surge, making any gank attempt on Dark Seer in the laning phase unlikely to succeed.
* Fate's Edict prevents all magical damage that comes from Dark Seer's abilities.
* Fortune's End dispels Ion Shell on creeps, which Dark Seer relies on to farm and zone.
Clinkz
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 57% pickrate: 10%)Oracle
* Heroes who can take advantage of Oracle's low mobility or catch him out of position, such as Clinkz and 
Anti-Mage, can easily pick him off.
Templar Assassin
* Fragile carries with no reliable escaping mechanism can be bursted down in no time: Sniper, Drow Ranger, Clinkz
Oracle
* Heroes who are not easily crippled by Fate's Edict or Fortune's End, such as
Timbersaw, or those who can dispel them, such as 
Phantom Lancer, can kill Oracle unhindered.
Templar Assassin
* Phantom Lancer's illusions destroy
Refraction charges very quickly.
