Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dazzle wins the Dazzle vs Phantom Assassin matchup: Dazzle beats Phantom Assassin in 50.32% of 9,493 ranked matches.
Trying to burst down a target protected by Dazzle can be a frustrating experience for Phantom Assassin. Her entire kit is built around finding a hero and deleting them with a huge critical strike, but Shallow Grave completely ignores that damage and keeps her target alive. This gives the target's team time to react, turn, and punish her aggression. On the other hand, Dazzle himself is a prime target for Phantom Assassin. He is fragile and has no escape, so if she can catch him before he can cast his spells, he dies almost instantly.
The matchup often comes down to positioning and vision. Phantom Assassin will try to find an angle to get on Dazzle first, often using Blur to stay off the minimap and waiting for him to step out of position. If she can kill him, his team loses its best defensive tool. Dazzle's team needs to play protect-the-president, keeping vision up and staying grouped so he is never the one getting initiated on. If he can stay safe in the backline, his ability to save allies from burst can completely swing a fight.
