A counter to PA is Blademail. No matter what, she's so squishy.

A counter to TA is Pudge rot. It eats her OP shield.

And that is where you are wrong. Just because he can steal **** it doesn't mean he can counter anyone. For example a Huskar or a Lycan would eat his face off. It's hero counters right? Who's defender tp

Radi eats through TA refraction and blink, AM counters just about every squishy caster, chain stuns counters everyone, doombringer ult counters just about everyone, centaur counters carries. New hero winter wyvern can counter carries too from what I read.

Axe and Venomancer counter TA, because of their DoT abilities.

Chaos Knight, Phantom Lancer and Siren counter any hero without AOE to bring the illusions down.

Dark Seer and Shadow Demon can somewhat counter carries, because they can turn their strength against their own team (disruption/wall)

Naix counters tanks with Feast.

Doom just counters everything in some way :)

Blademail is pretty strong against Ursa's Overpower.

Rubick, Dark Seer, Chaos Knight, bat rider can be a counter to heroes, to whom positioning is important.

Naga Siren can counter momentum dependent heroes with her Song.

Nightstalker counters spell dependent heroes (at night) /w 8 sec silence.

(Shotgun-)Morphling counters squishies.

Earthshaker and Axe counter heroes that have the ability to summon/control minions or Illusions, cause Echo Slam and Counter Helix will get way stronger, the more enemies there are. (the same way Luna gets countered by these, cause her eclipse DMG will split between illusions/minions)

Techies are a fairly good counter against ganking heroes/strategies.

Legion Commander counters almost every caster with his ult.

Thrall and Kunkka counter Blinkers (or heroes with similar escape abilities)

he can steal lycan ulti and run off~~~~

defender TP mean if someone TP to defend the tower.. Glimpse them back to where they belong. Glimpse counter so many things like specter ulti, glimpse the original specter back, glimpse mirana when she leap away.

Counter to Centaur and Axe is life stealer, he's the man when it comes to demolishing tanks. A major counter to OD isNyx and Pugna. Nyxs mana burn does I believe 4x the amount of Int they have, and that does tonnes against OD huge int. ODs arcane orb triggers
Pugnas Nether ward, dealing tonnes of damage whenever he uses an auto attack late
Game. That help?
