Abaddon
* 
Astral Imprisonment wastes Borrowed Time's duration.
* Outworld Destroyer's 
Sanity's Eclipse can kill Abaddon before Borrowed Time triggers due to the lack of intelligence for Abaddon.
Underlord
* Tanky melee heroes that can easily be kited, which allows Outworld Destroyer to deal heavy damage with Arcane Orb from a distance: 
Sven, 
Underlord, 
Bristleback.
Additional:
* 
Arcane Orb's pure damage can do great damage to Underlord.
* Sanity's Eclipse can tear down Underlord's health by a large amount, since his mana pool is very low compare to Outworld Destroyer's high mana pool.
Abaddon
* 
Culling Blade's instant kill is not prevented by Borrowed Time should Abaddon's health falls below the threshold.
Additional:
* Culling Blade ignores 
Borrowed Time should Abaddon's health falls under the threshold.
* 
Aphotic Shield does nothing against Berserkers Call and has to be used constantly to remove the very small mana cost of Battle Hunger in lane.
Underlord
* Heroes with strong area-of-effect damaging and/or disabling abilities will be able to intercept Underlord and his team when they exit from Fiend's Gate:

Abaddon
* Abaddon can be killed without triggering his ultimate Borrowed Time due to the break applied by 
Sharpshooter.
Underlord
* Durable heroes relied a lot on their main passive effects and items' effects such as Bristleback, Underlord, 
Spectre and 
Dragon Knight can be disabled easily with Sharpshooter's break, reducing their potential in teamfights.
Underlord
* Winter's Curse and 
Splinter Blast can devastate Underlord's team when they are grouped up for the teleportation with 
Fiend's Gate.
* 
Cold Embrace can be used to heal Winter Wyvern's allies, and protect them from the attack damage from 
Atrophy Aura. Bear in mind, however, that the heroes affected by Cold Embrace are easy targets for 
Firestorm and 
Pit of Malice.
Underlord
* Io can escape from Pit of Malice with Tether or Relocate.
* Relocate can counter Dark Rift's split pushing.
Underlord
* 
Fury Swipes damage is not reduced by Atrophy Aura, essentially bypassing Underlord's only natural defense.
* 
Enrage can easily dispel the root of Pit of Malice.
* However, Ursa has nothing to intercept Underlord and his team when they are grouped up for the teleportation with Fiend's Gate outside of 
Earthshock.
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.
Abaddon
* {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.
Additional:
* 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.
Underlord
* 
X Marks the Spot will return Underlord or his teammate if they escape with Fiend's Gate.
* 
Torrent, 
Ghostship, 
Torrent Storm from Aghanim's Scepter and 
Tidal Wave from Aghanim's Shard are all excellent abilities for intercepting Underlord and his team if Underlord chooses to travel to the designated point of the map with Fiend's Gate.
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.
Underlord
* Shadow Fiend can still dish out heavy damage with Requiem of Souls and 
Shadowraze even while caught in Pit of Malice. Requiem of Souls is also great ability for intercepting Underlord and his team when they teleport using Fiend's Gate.
* 
Necromastery provides Shadow Fiend with bonus attack damage for each killed enemy unit, which combined with 
Presence of the Dark Lord's armor reduction allows him to Atrophy Aura's attack damage reduction in most stages of the game.
Underlord
* As a frontline tank, the abilities of Underlord is surprisingly spell-cast heavy, and is often great for Rubick to steal.
* Firestorm is a great ability for farming, pushing and serves as a useful teamfight damage source, and even more so when its damage is amplified by 
Arcane Supremacy and Aghanim's Shard.
* It is worth mention that Firestorm has no visible effect on heroes other than damage, and the enemy team may easily mistaken the ability as casted by Underlord, resulting in unexpectedly soaking up more damage.
* Pit of Malice is a great area control ability in teamfights, capable of trapping multiple heroes in a hazard area.
* Underlord has no immediate reposition ability, and since he usually stays at the front, he can be an easy target for Rubick's Pit of Malice.
* Fiend's Gate, if stolen, grants Rubick's team great versatility around the map. Creating a surprise gank or appear as a group at the enemy backline during skirmish, escaping as a team from bad situations, or even taking Roshan or enemy highground unexpectedly, the possibility are endless with careful communication among Rubick's team.
Additional:
* All of Underlord's abilities are useful for Rubick to 
Spell Steal.
Underlord
* Firestorm will do little percentage damage to a small HP hero like Monkey King.
* All aspects of Jingu Mastery benefits ignore Atrophy Aura's base damage reduction.
* Monkey King can get on top of Underlord easily at any stage of the game.
Underlord
* 
Static Link greatly reduces Underlord's attack damage, while benefits Razor himself, even when in Atrophy Aura's range.
* Underlord is a slow and low mobility hero, and cannot outrun Razor's high movement speed, easily for Razor to absorb his damage with Static Link to the maximum and burst him down from the bonus damages, combine with the armor reduction from Eye of the Storm.
* However, Razor has no way of preventing enemies to escape with Fiend's Gate. And his only way to counter this is by buying disabling items.
Abaddon
* Because 
Poison Attack has almost no cooldown, Aphotic Shield is ineffective as a hard dispel.
* 
Viper Strike can prevent Borrowed Time from activating passively and block Curse of Avernus.
Additional:
* Because Poison Attack has almost no cooldown, Aphotic Shield is ineffective as a hard dispel.
* Viper Strike can prevent Borrowed Time from activating passively and block Curse of Avernus.
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.
Underlord
* Heroes who rely on armor or evasion to survive can easily be bursted down, like 
Phantom Assassin, 
Terrorblade, Underlord, 
Spirit Breaker.
Abaddon
* Both 
Lion's 
Finger of Death and Lina's Laguna Blade have a 0.25 second delay before the damage is dealt.
Abaddon
* 
Doom will make Abaddon unable to use Mist Coil, Aphotic Shield, and the active component of Borrowed Time, also upgraded with Aghanim's Scepter can break Curse of Avernus and the passive component of Borrowed Time ,which means his allies could be easily disabled or killed.
Underlord
* Doom with the {ValueColor:1|Doom applies Break|25tal} {Symbol:Talent} talent can be useful against heroes with troublesome passive skills while also disabling them for a long time: Phantom Assassin, 
Enchantress, 
Huskar, Underlord.
Additional:
* 
Infernal Blade does damage based on percentage health, and is useful against high health pool hero like Underlord.
* Doom can prevent Underlord from spamming his abilities and most important is to prevent him from using Fiend's Gate to escape.
Underlord
* Heroes without blink mechanisms or spell immunity will have a hard time positioning against Pit of Malice: Sven, 
Tiny, 
Wraith King, Dragon Knight, 
Meepo, 
Doom, 
Bounty Hunter, Dark Seer, 
Undying, Alchemist, 
Legion Commander.
Underlord

* However, Naga Siren can catch Underlord and his team unprepared with Song of the Siren if he chooses to use Fiend's Gate to get to a designated point of the map. Naga Siren can also prevent escaping with Fiend's Gate with

* Atrophy Aura allows Underlord to lane against Mars quite well since he does not have the best base damage during the early game.

Duel, As Borrowed Time has a shorter cooldown, Legion Commander can't win duels, effectively reducing her targets by one, Duel also means that Borrowed Time heals Abaddon for the duration of the duel, as Legion can't stop attacking.
Additional:
* 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.
Underlord
* Atrophy Aura's percentage-based damage reduction greatly diminishes Legion Commander's overall damage output, even if she has won many Duels
* Legion Commander cannot get out the way of Firestorm because she is stationary.

Underlord
* Firestorm can deal serious damage to Phantom Assassin during laning.
* Pit of Malice prevents Phantom Assassin from either escaping or engaging with

Shadow Shaman, or 
Ogre Magi.
Additional:

* Borrowed Time makes it impossible to burst Abaddon down, even healing him up due to Mystic Flare's damage.
Abaddon
* Abaddon's constant heals and protection can save himself and his allies from burst-focused heroes, such as Legion Commander, Faceless Void, and 
Pudge.

Likewise, Fiend's Gate can be used to quickly move Underlord's team to the frontlines, to strike Terrorblade and his allies during Metamorphosis's 150 seconds of cooldown, forcing Terrorblade to buy Aghanim's Scepter that will give him access to 
Terror Wave ability.

Additional:
* 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.
Abaddon
* Heroes that can purge his slow and disables are very difficult to go on and their team: Abaddon, Oracle.

Earth Spike and 
Hex.
* Abaddon may offer survivability to Lion's nuke power by shielding and healing allies and himself.
* Lack of inner escape and defensive mechanisms increases Curse of Avernus effectiveness, since it slows per stack (applied upon auto attacking), and silences when it reaches the maximum stack.
