Templar Assassin/Counters

Bad against...

 * Venomancer's lingering damage over time debuffs easily remove charges from her, leaving her defenseless to other damage sources. His slows allow him and his team to catch up to her and follow up, and his s give vision and are able to reapply the DoT debuff.


 * In a similar vein to Venomancer, Phoenix' abilities all apply damage over time debuffs that can destroy her charges, but with the added threat of being able to force her out of hiding via, as Phoenix can just throw all its AoE abilities in the spot she's hiding and either force her to run or be burned to death.


 * The damage over time from Viper's and  rapidly wear down  charges, allowing Templar Assassin to be damaged. Additionally,  causes TA's attacks to apply damage over time on her as well.


 * The damage over time from Dragon Knight's rapidly burns down, allowing him to attack her. Also,  reduces TA's damage and   is a long stun that allows you to set up more damage against her.

Others

 * Pudge's Rot can bully Templar Assassin who is Melding and cancel her Refraction fastly. With her few armor and HP, Pudge choose her for his Flesh Heap.
 * Meepo's Earthbind can reveals Meld Templar Assassin and Poof her to death because she rarely build Black King Bar which save her from Poof.

 * Nyx Assassin
 * Arc Warden

Good against...

 * Reason


 * TA can shrug off all of Lina's spells with Refraction. If Lina is caught off guard, TA can easily kill her off with a little meld and refraction


 * Simply meld to disjoint his ulti, and blink away when it's off cooldown. However, his spears can damage your refraction. Not sure why Huskar is here tbh.

You can meld and wait off his third skill and your meld negates his high armor making him easier to kill.

Works well with...

 * Vengeful Spirit's swap and stun are a very good combination with TA. Psionic Trap's slow lasts for a short time and sometimes, TA cannot catch up with the enemy. Shendelzare can provide the means to stop enemies from escaping with her stun and swap.


 * TA lacks any form of Stun/Lockdown. Slardar is a good initiator with an AOE stun on an 8 second CD. This allows him to set up and allow her to follow up with a blink meld strike. In addition, TA relies solely on doing burst physical damage. Slardar's amplify damage will increase the damage that she inflicts on her target (which can then be spilled onto other targets via Psi blades).

I DONT KNOW WHY
 * Reason
 * Drow Ranger's aura can add onto TA's already high damage.
