Phantom Assassin is a too OP.

[Aomine-]

I know this hero can be countered but in every game I play, I always see PA. So OP like hell. Now 7.00 is out, 2 stifling dagger at lvl 25? ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ . PA's crit is slapping my MMR -25.-25.-25.
Please nerf PA a bit.

The point is to not let her get to level 25...

TY for the advice but still her ult. is a pain in the ass.

The second dagger hits a random target, its hardly a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ moment.

If you can affect her attack damage, you can reduce the ult.

Essence shift from Slark and Enfeeble from Bane are good.

If she can't attack, she can't crit. So Heaven's Halberd, Oracle's disarm (forget the name), and Ethereal Blade/Ghost Sceptor stops her attacking you or prevents you from being attacked. Add the slow and magic amp. and you can really punish her with it. Pugna and Necro get free ghost sceptors. Hex is another option, so Lion, Shadow Shaman or Sheep Stick.

If she can't hit you, she can't crit you. So evasion (eg Arc Warden, Butterfly, Heaven's Halberd etc)

If you can break her passives (crit and evasion), she can't crit or evade attacks. Can't think of any skills that break (not sure of the break/silence mechanic) but Silver Edge is great at it. Silver Edge also reduces attack damage, see above.

Finally, if all else fails, you can always go Blademail and watch her kill herself. Or any source of armor (AC, Sven's warcry, Dazzle's Weave etc) to reduce incoming damage.

Remember she is also weak to magic damage, which she can't evade.

This from a noob who surely hasn't listed everything. She is strong. But she is not without weaknesses.

Silver Edge counters PA. MKB does too, obviously, but its a very one-dimensional item so it's not a good purchase on some heroes.

Blade-mail counters PA hard. For example, Blademail on Axe. Blink and Call on PA = Dead PA.

It s true :D

PA relies on pure physical damage to burst down her foes. Cheapest counter is Ghost Scepter, but as mentioned above you can get BM, MKB and Silver Edge to counter her. There is also Bloodthorne if you have the gold or the components and on top of that you can always go Force Staff/Hurricane Pike to try and keep her off your trail. Lastly, she is a very item reliant hero, shutting her down during the laning stage then getting vision over her jungle will easily turn her into fodder.

She is very squishy so shutting down her farm for a BKB will ensure that your teams nukes will be able to take her down swiftly.

I'll also add that magic damage in general counters her. She really is only "tanky" versus physical attacks. Problem is that in low MMR, you have 4 or 5 attack-damage carries on your team and so PA feels unkillable. Throw a Pudge, Axe, Lina, or Necro in there and watch her get wrecked.
