 * is a big problem since it ignores armour values.

 * Faceless Void can build a to drain Terrorblades small mana pool even further.
 * However, Terrorblade has high armour and Faceless Void mostly deals physical damage.

 * may clear Terrorblade illusions from Conjure Image and.


 * can destroy Terrorblade's illusions.
 * Now lets go over his lockdown:
 * prevents him to use Sunder or in bad situations.
 * not only that prevents him to use Sunder, but he has no way to cancel it.

 * can often kill Terrorblade before he has time to save himself with Sunder.
 * Ill-timed Sunder will always make Terrorblade vulnerable to.
 * Ghost Shroud will protect Necrophos from Terrorblade even in close combat.
 * However, should Necrophos not have this ability he is very vulnerable to Terrorblades attacks due to his low armour and health.

 * and can easily burst Terrorblade and his illusions.
 * automatically hits everything in a big radius, taking a huge chunk of health out of Terrorblade's illusions, regardless of how much health they have.

One thing to note is that many of these heroes are very tanky or have great escape but do lack the control to actually stop Terrorblade from using. If he does use this ability it can very easily turn the fight in his favour, so consider most of these counters very situational.
