Queen of Pain Guide Dota 2

Queen of Pain

Akasha

The Ecclesiast-King of Elze nursed a desire for pain--forbidden pain. In a less prominent political figure, such desires might be considered unwise, but in a monarch of his stature, to satisfy such thirsts would have threatened the virtue of the Divine Throne itself. Therefore he turned to his dungeon full of demonologists, promising freedom to whoever could summon a personal succubus of torment and bind it entirely to his service. The creature who arrived, visited upon him such exquisite torments that he named her his Secret Queen, and he began to spend all his spare moments submitting to her clever torments--eventually abdicating all his responsibilities in his pursuit of the painful pleasures that only she could bring. Queen of Pain could bring him to the brink of death, but she was rune-bound to keep him alive. At last the King's neglect of state brought on an uprising. He was dragged from his chamber and hurled from the Tower of Invocations, and at the moment of death, Queen of Pain was let loose into the world, freed from servitude--freed to visit her sufferings on anyone she deigned to notice.

Matchups

1. Shadow Fiend

Difficulty : Medium-Hard

Shadow Fiend can be a hard hero to put pressure on - he can trade back your hits with triple Shadowraze and right-clicks, especially if he has souls inNecromastery. Be careful when attempting to gank him with team-mates: if you are not 100% sure that you can take him down quickly, he can turn up 2vs1 situations and get a double kill. Enjoy the first minutes in the lane, as your right-click power will be better than his and try to zone him out with Shadow Strike.

2. Storm Spirit
Difficulty : Easy-Medium
The Storm Spirit isn't that hard when facing him in mid. He's frail and slow before level 6 and he needs his Bottle full all the time to make use of Overload. If you attempt a gank on him before six, it can be fairly easy, because the amount lockdown to bring is a lot less than when he gets Ball Lightning.

3. Templar Assasin
Difficulty : Medium
The Templar Assassin is kind of a glorified melee hero, but she has some tools to stay and contest the middle lane. Be sure to burn her Refraction shield ( Shadow Strike is your best bet) when attempting a kill - one layer can block a complete Sonic Wave.
