Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Underlord wins the Underlord vs Mars matchup: Underlord beats Mars in 51.70% of 470 ranked matches.
Drafting Mars into an opposing Underlord is a commitment to playing at a disadvantage. The core of the problem is how Fiend's Gate completely nullifies Arena of Blood. A perfectly executed Arena that catches multiple heroes can be instantly escaped, turning Mars’s biggest teamfight spell into a wasted cooldown. Even if the team stays to fight, Underlord can drop Pit of Malice inside the ring, rooting everyone and disrupting Mars's entire game plan. Atrophy Aura further cripples Mars's damage output, making it hard for him to be a physical threat at any stage.
This dynamic starts in the lane, where Underlord's Firestorm and damage reduction make it miserable for Mars to secure farm or trade effectively. Later on, Mars is forced to play around Fiend's Gate. He either has to try and catch Underlord without his ultimate, or he has to accept that his Arena will be used defensively to stop a push rather than offensively to get kills. Underlord's team gets to play with a safety net, pushing towers and taking space knowing they have a reliable escape from Mars's best initiation tool.
