Grow. has a giant deceleration, creating a condition for the kite, which Tiny is very afraid of. In addition, Invoker has a 
Deafening Blast that disables Tiny's main weapon - strong blows from the hand

Tornado + 
E.M.P. create unrealistic conditions for Tiny with mana, which is very necessary for Tiny at least for some attacks in a fight. The Cold Snap ability can catch an attack from Tiny's hand by surprise, because it becomes slower with the pumping of Grow. has a giant deceleration, creating a condition for the kite, which Tiny is very afraid of. In addition, Invoker has a Deafening Blast that disables Tiny's main weapon - strong blows from the hand
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.

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.
Tiny
* Heroes with high base damage (
Morphling, 
Tiny, 
Drow Ranger), heroes with mana burning abilities (
Anti-Mage), and 
Diffusal Blade users (
Juggernaut or

Tiny
* Heroes with Evasion or abilities that cause Tiny to miss like 
Phantom Assassin and 
Tinker are very effective because of Tiny's low attack speed. Additionally,

Ancient Apparition, 
Keeper of the Light etc can die quickly to Tiny's magic burst.

Dazzle, Abaddon.
Tiny
* Side lanes with disables will greatly reduce the likeliness Void Spirit will be willing to rotate: Sven, Tiny, Wraith King, Ogre Magi.

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 
Stasis Trap on himself and on an ally, while at the same also providing protection against the other mines' damage.
Additional:

* Borrowed Time allows him to both exit his stuns prematurely and turn Trample into healing for himself. His Aghanim Scepter only prevents the automation of the spell, Abaddon himself can still manually activate it.

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.
Tiny
* Tiny can quickly clear Spiderlings with his active abilities and cleave.
Tiny
* Tiny can be a serious problem for the distance between Lone Druid and his 
Summon Spirit Bear with his Toss ability, since he will throw one away from the other, giving his team the opportunity to deal with either the Summon Spirit Bear or Lone Druid himself
* Lone Druid will not always be in his 
True Form, since she has her own recharge, which is why Tiny can find him with a 
Shadow Blade or 
Blink Dagger and kill him in a second with a combination of Avalanche and Toss, due to the fact that Lone Druid has a very small health reserve without True Form

Earth Spike and 
Hex.

Additional:
* Abaddon can activate Borrowed Time to dispel Dismember; breaking the disable and potentially allowing Abaddon to escape.

Viper.
Tiny

* 
Tidehunter with 
Kraken Shell when damage received reaches the threshold.
Abaddon

Tiny
* Heroes that have disposable area-targeted spells can force her to undo her Meld: 
Leshrac, 
Puck, Tiny, 
Jakiro,. An experienced Templar Assassin could try to use Refraction before Meld so she can tank through those damage without getting her Blink disabled.
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 durability. Plus, the said item makes Naga Siren harder to be distinguished from her illusions.
Tiny
* Avalanche and Toss combo makes short work of Mirror Image's illusions.
* Tiny's cleave with Tree Grab and area of effect damage with Tree Volley will easily wipe out illusions.
Tiny
* Primal Roar and the slow from Boars make kiting Tiny very easy.

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.

* Even being initiated by Primal Roar, Borrowed Time can make Abaddon extremely difficult to kill.
Tiny
* 
Chaos Bolt and 
Reality Rift makes Tiny's low mobility non existent.
* 
Chaos Strike means Chaos Knight will most likely survive longer in a duel between the two because Tiny has much lower attack speed.
* Chaos Knight has a 3.2 strength growth, making him one of the most tanky heroes and a very difficult target for Tiny to burst.
Abaddon
* Abaddon could punish Chaos Knight for using his Phantasm and Reality Rift combo on him with Aphotic Shield. Additionally, it provides extra protection against Chaos Knight's potential to take Abaddon down quickly.
* Furthermore, Abaddon's Borrowed Time makes it utterly impossible to burst Abaddon down, effectively reducing the amount of targets Chaos Knight can threaten by 1 for the entire game.
Tiny
* 
Reaper's Scythe will turn Tiny's high health against him.
* 
Heartstopper Aura does substantial damage to Tiny as a result of his high max health.

Abaddon
* Heroes that deal damage over time will also fail to bring down Abaddon and his allies, such as Huskar, Venomancer, or Phoenix.
Tiny
* Familiars will easily be able to kite heroes with a short range or with low attack speed. For example, Tiny and Undying have a very hard time killing Familiars.
Tiny
* Tiny can deal with 
Visage's 
Gravekeeper's Cloak quickly, as Avalanche deals damage in enough instances to completely remove all 4 layers of the passive. With Visage's lower than average Armor, a well positioned stun can allow Tiny to kill Visage easily.
Additional:
* Tiny's Avalanche removes a significant number of layers from Gravekeeper's Cloak. When combined with Toss burns through all of Gravekeeper's Cloak while doing triple times Toss damage to Visage in midair.
* Tiny's already high damage coupled with 
Tree Grab's attack modifier will make short work of Visage's Familiars.
Tiny
* Tiny has low movement speed and attack speed, making him vulnerable to Viper's slows.
Corrosive Skin provides magic resistance to lower Tiny's magic burst damage.
*
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.
