WHY IT COUNTERS SVEN
Refraction blocks his hits
Sven has no way of dealing with Templar Assassin's Refraction stacks.
Bursts and kites him
Templar Assassin's great burst damage and evasive style let her fight and kite Sven very effectively.
3 Dragon Knight Carry · Pusher · Durable

WHY IT COUNTERS SVEN
Ranged and armored
Sven has trouble with heroes that can kite him and heroes with high armor, and Dragon Knight in Elder Dragon Form has both.
Lockdown
Sven greatly depends on his positioning in teamfights and relies heavily on items like Black king bar, meaning a well timed Dragon's Tail can be deadly.
