Why can Phantom Assassin dodge Omnislash with Blur's active?
I was playing Juggernaut with Monkey King Bar, Eye of Skadi, and...
I used Omnislash on the enemy Phantom Assassin while she was alone 4 times. All 4 times she activated Blur and immediately canceled my Omnislash!
Is this a glitch? Isn't Blur supposed to be ineffective less than 600 units away from the enemy?
Best Answer
The active effect of Phantom Assassin's Blur - that is, the invisibility even while attacking, using items, and under true sight - is dispelled 0.75 seconds after moving within 600 units of an enemy hero, not instantly. Since Phantom Assassin is invisible, Juggernaut's Omnislash can't find a valid target to continue attacking and ends.
Keep in mind that after the rework of Omnislash, the damage is no longer physical spell damage, but Juggernaut's autoattacks themselves. This means they can miss, and Monkey King Bar does not grant true strike anymore.

What hero can counter phantom assassin?
Dragon Knight. He can easily overwhelm PA in the lane phase with the help of a support, and he can ignore most physical damage thanks to Dragon Blood. His great armor and the long single-target disable (Dragon Tail) make him a solid hero against Phantom Assassin.How does phantom assassin blur work?
The Phantom Assassin blurs her body, causing some enemy attacks to miss and allowing her to disappear from the enemy minimap when far from enemy heroes. Stacks diminishingly with other sources of evasion. Has an active that conceals her presence until approaching near an enemy hero or building.1 SHOT QUEEN Unlimited Blur Phantom Assassin with Aghanim Battle Fury +809 GPM Dota 2
