Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Phantom Assassin wins the Phantom Assassin vs Queen of Pain matchup: Phantom Assassin beats Queen of Pain in 52.36% of 19,939 ranked matches.
Controlling the map as Queen of Pain feels a little tougher when a Phantom Assassin is on the other team. Queen of Pain likes to blink in, unload her spells, and get out, but PA’s kit makes this risky. Phantom Strike gives Phantom Assassin a way to instantly close the gap again if QoP tries to Blink away, forcing a fight. While Blur’s evasion doesn't matter against QoP's spells, it does soften the right-clicks she'll weave in between them, which can sometimes be the difference in a close fight, especially after PA gets her items.
Early on, Queen of Pain usually dictates the pace with her strong laning and magical burst. The game can get difficult for her later, though. Once Phantom Assassin has a Black King Bar, she can often survive QoP’s initial burst and turn the fight around. This forces Queen of Pain to play much more cautiously and rely on her team or a defensive item to handle PA's aggression. The matchup isn't one-sided, but PA's ability to hunt QoP in the mid and late game gives her a slight edge.
