Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Axe wins the Axe vs Marci matchup: Axe beats Marci in 53.03% of 31,424 ranked matches.
Forcing Marci to attack during Berserker's Call is a nightmare for her. Her entire game plan revolves around isolating a target and unloading her Unleash combo, but Axe's taunt completely hijacks her ultimate. Instead of bursting a support, she's locked onto a target she can't kill, feeding him Counter Helix spins and taking massive return damage from Blade Mail. This dynamic invalidates her primary role in a teamfight. Beyond that direct counter, Axe naturally builds items that punish exactly the kind of physical, all-in aggression that Marci relies on. She simply has no good way to approach a fight when Axe is present, as his entire kit is designed to punish heroes like her.
How the matchup shifts across skill brackets — Axe's win rate against Marci in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
