Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Axe wins the Axe vs Earthshaker matchup: Axe beats Earthshaker in 50.27% of 117,659 ranked matches.
Controlling the pace of the game is much simpler for Axe when facing an Earthshaker. Axe can safely push lanes and pressure towers, forcing a response from a hero who really does not want to show up alone. Earthshaker's Fissure is unreliable for catching Axe once he has a Blink Dagger, as he can simply jump past the stun and get on top of a target. Trying to fight Axe directly is also a losing battle; his own initiation with Berserker's Call punishes Earthshaker for being in melee range. This denies Earthshaker the space and farm he needs to get his own core items, leaving him a step behind all game and making his teamfight impact much weaker.
