I'm getting sick of seeing Phantom Assassin in every game and I can't stop Phantom Assassin from snowballing out of control. Any tips? How do I can ?
Romp : Also Pudge DESTROYS her so just draft magic dmg.
I don't get it, ppl are complaining about 
Phantom Assassin yet i have never had trouble with her.
She's typically food for nukes, stuff like 
Lion, 
Lina eat her for breakfast. Also 
Pudge DESTROYS her so just draft magic dmg.
Lategame 
Monkey King Bar and 
Black King Bar are standard counters
Also special mention goes to ursa since his overpower atks don't
"waste" on evasion (i.e. he will get his dmg in, it just takes him a
little longer).
Omniknight, just heal whoever she jumps too and you can prevent
blinking and slowing in the first place with 
Repel. There's also your
ult too!
Yeah I still think she's crap imo
TinkerGuy : Pugna is the best anti Phantom Assassin if you know how to play
Generally, nukers are good to shut down Phantom Assassin early on. But ofc Phantom Assassin will
get a Black King Bar, the point is you have to force the game end before Phantom Assassin gets
fat. Or even Phantom Assassin gets fat, there must be a fat carry in your team too.
And make sure that carry got Monkey King Bar and 
Skull Basher to stop late game Phantom Assassin.
I prefer 
Pugna, if im sure Phantom Assassin goes mid. I prefer 
Faceless Void, if im sure Phantom Assassin goes to safe lane farm.
BemuseConfuseDelight : With Pugna try to anticipate the blink and decrepify yourself whilst life draining Phantom Assassin
With Pugna try to anticipate the blink and decrepify yourself whilst
life draining Phantom Assassin . This usually results in having a Phantom Assassin within optimum
duration for life drain whilst taking no damage. Also, if nobody is
aware, Pugna vs Faceless Void rocks socks off! Aslong as you're not caught in
chrono just decrepify him! Also see 
Bloodseeker etc.
Joggemanon : Blow her up early with high magical damage heroes
Blow her up early with high magical damage heroes. The other option is
tanky 
Blade Mail heroes in conjunction with strong lockdown/magic
damage.
wezagred : Hex from Lion and 
Shadow Shaman disables her evasion. Same with 
Doom Bringer.
Tusk is decent at dealing with her early on and preventing her from
getting out of hand - Walrus Punch can't be dodged and he can easily
chip away at her with his magic nukes.
jaleCro : Halberd, Ghost Scepter, Blademail, Force staff
Heroes that counter her are Pudge, 
Crystal Maiden, 
Batrider, Pugna, 
Invoker, and some others i cant think of right now.
make sure to retreat if you see her popping her Black King Bar .
headshotmasta : As the guy said above, Mmni, Void, Lion, Lina, Tinker. Tinker most
notably.

Nyx Assassin, since vendetta isn't removed if he misses with his ult. I
tend to find that a Phantom Assassin who goes for the long game with bfury etc may
stomp, but there again as the game wears on she gets somewhat fragile if
the enemy team has late-game carries. On the other hand, if she goes
for early game items which make her tanky while steadily increasing her
dps then she becomes a whole new problem. A while ago, I was playing Phantom Assassin mid with great success going for 
Power Treads/
Drum of Endurance/Skull Basher/
Vladmir's Offering. With a good farm
I could get all of the above by 15 minutes. That's like 1500hp, and a
lot harder to deal with than a Phantom Assassin with a 
Battle Fury. With a good farm and a
mix of str/dps items, she becomes a beast of a mid-game roamer.
Thatindianboss : Go into her jungle and make sure she can't farm it
Get supports to buy 
Ghost Scepter so that they don't become food for her
to farm. Buy an Monkey King Bar and then proceed to destroy her. If the Phantom Assassin you are
versing goes for bf and doesn't have it by 18 minutes punish her for it.
Go into her jungle and make sure she can't farm it. That should give
you a significant advantage over her and then you just destroy her
easily.
Nyx_Assassin : Lina's new ulti will do some decent damage
to Phantom Assassin late
In my
opinion Phantom Assassin is pretty weak. She's squishy, don't see her
doing much damage unless she gets lucky, Monkey King Bar will make one of her spells
useless, Black King Bar will prevent her dry humping you. pressure he early and
you won't even have to worry about her in the late game if she has zero
farm.
Lina's new ulti will do some decent damage (1250 is more then decent)
to her late, throw in a bane for some good lock down when she Black King Bar
