Hero Strategy
Powershot provides brief vision and cuts trees in its path.
Windrun is dispellable, so be careful when playing against certain heroes and items.
Use powershot to secure ranged creeps and damage the opponents at the same time.
Proc items like Javelin, Maelstrom or Monkey King Bar work really well with Focus Fire.
Windranger is squishy. Don't let opponents surprise you. You want to be the one that starts the fight.
Take your time in the fights to guarantee Shackleshot lands, as most of your impact comes from that.
Push out the side lanes when not much is happening around the map.
Pick up Aghanims Shard around minute 15 as it adds another control spell to your arsenal.
Counter Strategy
Windranger is susceptible to early game spell harass. Manage your mana and keep pressuring her
Windranger's Powershot does lots of damage. Avoid being hit or at least don't be the first unit being hit
Windranger can easily kill most heroes with her ultimate and a single Javelin. Be mindful about that
Blade Mail is a decent counter against her ultimate
To counter Windranger's Shackleshot, try to stay away from trees and make sure you don't have creeps or heroes behind you. Linken's Sphere is also helpful against Shackleshot
Windranger's Windrun ability is countered by items that pierce through evasion, cause magical damage and dispels such as Silver Edge
