Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Ancient Apparition wins the Ancient Apparition vs Lone Druid matchup: Ancient Apparition beats Lone Druid in 51.53% of 10,360 ranked matches.
Teamfights against Lone Druid often leave Ancient Apparition feeling ineffective. His Ice Blast is meant to cripple healing heroes, but the Spirit Bear, which is often the primary source of damage, is not a hero and is immune to its shatter and heal block effects. This leaves the bear free to run at your team's backline and maul supports. Ancient Apparition has very few tools to deal with this. The bear is too tanky to burst down, and Cold Feet is easily broken by simply having the summon walk forward. Even outside of big fights, Lone Druid can use his bear to push towers, and AA is one of the worst heroes at defending against that kind of sustained physical pressure.
