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.
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 
Aghanim's Shard around minute 15 as it adds another control spell to your arsenal.
Consider turning your
Maelstrom into 
Mjollnir to improve your farm rate as well as have more burst damage with Focus Fire in the Shackleshot stun duration.
You're easily killable after using Windrun. Be mindful of your cooldown and usage.
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
Maelstrom. Be mindful about that.
Blade Mail is a decent counter against Windranger's Focus Fire.
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 is countered by items that pierce through evasion. Several of the best ways to counter Windrun are
Monkey King Bar, 
Nullifier, 
Bloodthorn, and 
Disperser. Notable mentions are
Maelstrom and 
Witch Blade.
