Someone told me that Bane's ulti goes through Black King Bar. Are there other item effects or hero skills that goes thorough it and that can be use to counter heroes that heavily relies on this item?

Noteworthy disables and interrupts that go through magic immunity from various heroes (all ultimates):

  • Bane
  • Beastmaster
  • Batrider
  • Pudge
  • Silencer
  • Clockwerk
  • Faceless Void
  • Enigma
  • Vengeful Spirit

Other ultimates that are primarily used for their damage still stun or ministun (but won't damage) magic immune opponents, useful for enemies who are trying to BKB and use a TP Scroll to escape.

  • Necrolyte
  • Anti-Mage
  • Lich
  • Juggernaut (Will still damage, as it deals physical damage.)
  • Sniper's Assassinate

Some other ultimates will slow through magic immunity:

  • Shadow Demon
  • Viper

The only non-ultimates that disable through a BKB are:

  • Axe's Call
  • Naga's Ensnare
  • Meepo's Earthbind
  • Lone Druid's Bear's Entangling Claws
  • Faceless Void's Time Lock
  • Slardar's Bash
  • Abyssal Blade

If I remember correctly, there's also Lich's ult who procs a mini stun on the first target. A lot of people don't know this. It's very useful in the TP case you mentioned. Needs testing though, I can do it tomorrow if needed. – Thiago Silveira Mar 27 '12 at 2:42
You're correct, no need to test. – Decency Mar 27 '12 at 6:34

Any spell that has the ultimate property will ignore the magic immunity from BKB. However, generally the damage aspect of the ultimate will not work as damage is rarely considered an ultimate property. Usually the secondary effects such as stun, slow, etc will ignore BKB.

There are a few ultimates listed that do not go through magic immunity at all:

  1. Ravage - Impale effect is considered a non-ultimate
  2. Finger of Death - Only deals damage and would be wasted
  3. Laguna Blade - Only deals damage and would be wasted
  4. Dream Coil - Doesn't stun or damage
  5. Nether Strike - Doesn't work
