Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bounty Hunter wins the Ancient Apparition vs Bounty Hunter matchup: Bounty Hunter beats Ancient Apparition in 51.16% of 4,478 ranked matches.
Finding an isolated Ancient Apparition is the main goal for Bounty Hunter. With Shadow Walk, he can easily get on top of the slow, fragile support and apply pressure. A successful gank can quickly turn into a kill. However, Ancient Apparition has tools to fight back. A well-timed Cold Feet can stop Bounty Hunter cold, forcing him to retreat or be stunned. Similarly, Ice Vortex provides vision and a slow, making it much harder for Bounty Hunter to stick to his target or escape if the gank is turned.
This back-and-forth continues all game. Bounty Hunter uses Track to keep tabs on Ancient Apparition, making him an easy target and a source of bonus gold for his team. This forces AA to play from very far back, often relying on his team for vision and protection. The matchup often comes down to which team controls vision better. If Bounty Hunter is allowed to roam freely, he can make AA's game impossible. If AA's team provides good sentry coverage and stays nearby, Bounty Hunter can find himself revealed and helpless.
