Strategy

Use Scream of Pain to secure ranged creeps and hit opponents at the same time.

Avoid overinvesting points in Shadow Strike. It will make your farming and midgame fights hard.

When in trouble, blink into fog, into treelines or over cliffs.

Look around for opportunities to gank once you have Sonic Wave and control runes.

Blink or position yourself in such a way that you can land a multi-hero Sonic Wave in fights.

When not much is happening, push out the sidelines.

Pick up Aghanim's Shard around minute 15 as it provides silence and extra damage. Using it on creep waves also gives you instant wave clear when paired with Scream of Pain.

Aghanims scepter is very strong in teamfights. Try to get it at an early timing.

Counter Strategy

Queen of Pain's Shadow Strike is a great harassing spell. Buy extra consumables or dodge it if your hero has a spell that can.

Look to play aggressively on Queen of Pain once her Blink is on cooldown. She is very squishy.

Control power runes against Queen of Pain. She likes to bottle and gank with those.

Be aware of Queen of Pain's Orchid Malevolence timing. She can solo kill most of the heroes with it.

Avoid fighting in choke spots and clumping up against Queen of Pain's Sonic Wave.

Spell immunity and magic resistance items are quite good against Queen of Pain.

Lore

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, Akasha by name, 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.
