Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Axe wins the Axe vs Terrorblade matchup: Axe beats Terrorblade in 56.03% of 771 ranked matches.
Playing against Axe as Terrorblade feels awful because your own illusions become a massive liability. Berserker's Call forces you and your army to attack him, and each of those hits gives Axe a chance to spin. While Terrorblade's high armor does reduce the incoming physical damage from each Counter Helix, the sheer volume of spins triggered by a whole illusion army is often enough to shred him. He essentially kills himself by fighting back, which is a disastrous position for any carry.
This dynamic holds true all game. Once Axe gets his Blink Dagger, Terrorblade can never feel safe farming. A successful jump with Call can lock him down and burst him before he has a chance to use Sunder, often finished by a Culling Blade. Terrorblade is forced to build defensively much earlier than he'd like, which hurts his own power curve. Axe's entire game plan revolves around finding and disabling the enemy carry, and against Terrorblade, he has the perfect kit for the job.
