Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Phoenix wins the Phoenix vs Queen of Pain matchup: Phoenix beats Queen of Pain in 54.66% of 7,199 ranked matches.
Blinking in to burst a target is Queen of Pain's main job, but Phoenix makes this incredibly difficult. Sun Ray's beam is hard to break even with Blink, and it will melt her health down as she tries to reposition. Her initial magical burst from Scream of Pain and Sonic Wave is also usually not enough to kill Phoenix before he can trigger Supernova. Once the egg is down, she's left in a terrible position, as she lacks the sustained physical damage to destroy it by herself before it stuns.
This dynamic forces Queen of Pain to play much more passively. She can't reliably initiate on Phoenix or his allies without risking a fight-losing Supernova that completely turns her aggression against her. A good Phoenix will hold his ultimate specifically to counter her Blink-in, making her a liability in teamfights. Without a core who builds for high attack speed early, or a lot of help from her supports, QoP simply can't deal with the egg and has to disengage, leaving her team to clean up the mess.
