Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Axe wins the Axe vs Brewmaster matchup: Axe beats Brewmaster in 50.20% of 14,928 ranked matches.
Seeing a Brewmaster pick can make Axe feel like a solid response, which is funny because they often play so well on the same team. The matchup often comes down to the interaction around Primal Split. When Brewmaster uses his ultimate, the multiple pandas attacking give Axe a huge number of chances to spin with Counter Helix. This turns Brewmaster's biggest teamfight spell into a source of massive area damage for Axe's team. While a clever Brewmaster can use his spirits to control other targets, Axe fundamentally punishes him for trying to focus anyone down. Culling Blade also gives Axe a clean way to finish off Brewmaster before he can even split.
