Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Phantom Assassin wins the Phantom Assassin vs Storm Spirit matchup: Phantom Assassin beats Storm Spirit in 55.62% of 12,511 ranked matches.
Trying to kite Phantom Assassin is a nightmare for Storm Spirit. Her Phantom Strike has a low cooldown, letting her stick to him no matter how much he zips around with Ball Lightning. Storm relies on getting a quick catch with Electric Vortex, but PA can often activate BKB to ignore the pull and immediately close the gap. Once she's on him, his naturally low armor means a couple of crits are usually enough to finish the job. Blur's evasion also neuters any attempt Storm might make to trade auto-attacks if he gets caught.
This dynamic forces Storm Spirit into a much more passive game. He wants to be all over the map creating pressure, but he can't risk aggressive moves if Phantom Assassin is missing. After PA gets her BKB, Storm has almost no way to escape a jump. His main path to victory is getting a massive gold lead before that timing hits, or relying entirely on teammates for control. Meanwhile, PA can play her normal game, knowing one of the enemy's biggest threats can't really touch her.
