Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Night Stalker wins the Anti-Mage vs Night Stalker matchup: Night Stalker beats Anti-Mage in 55.32% of 1,157 ranked matches.
Farming a lane during the first night cycle feels impossible. Night Stalker runs at Anti-Mage with superior speed and immediately applies Crippling Fear. With Blink disabled, Anti-Mage is an easy kill and begins to fall behind. This pressure is constant. Later, Night Stalker can use Dark Ascension to shrink vision and hunt down a split-pushing Anti-Mage, denying him the space needed to farm core items. It's difficult for a carry to have an impact when their primary escape tool is nullified and they can never find a safe section of the map to recover.
