Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ancient Apparition wins the Ancient Apparition vs Death Prophet matchup: Ancient Apparition beats Death Prophet in 51.54% of 390 ranked matches.
You have to think twice before picking Death Prophet if an Ancient Apparition is in the game. A huge part of Death Prophet’s survivability comes from the healing she gets from Spirit Siphon, which allows her to frontline during her Exorcism ultimate. Ancient Apparition’s Ice Blast completely denies this healing, leaving her extremely exposed. Instead of a durable siege engine, she becomes a slow target that can be easily focused down once the shatter debuff is applied. She loses her main survival tool and is unable to play the front-to-back teamfights where she would normally shine.
