How this matchup plays

Setting up the perfect Torrent and Ghostship on Axe feels like it should be a kill, but it rarely works out that way. Axe is usually tanky enough to walk it off, and then the tables turn completely. His goal is simple: find an opening to Blink Dagger in and land Berserker's Call. Kunkka is an ideal target for this because he's squishy and his escape with X Marks the Spot is too slow to react to an instant initiation. Once caught, Kunkka has no answer for the taunt and Counter Helix spins. While a well-timed X can save an ally from Axe, Kunkka himself remains vulnerable to getting picked off first.
