Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Night Stalker wins the Batrider vs Night Stalker matchup: Night Stalker beats Batrider in 56.74% of 1,692 ranked matches.
Picking Batrider into a Night Stalker means you have to respect the first night. Night Stalker is built to hunt solo targets, and Batrider often needs to farm isolated parts of the map. Getting found in the dark by Night Stalker is usually a death sentence, as his silence from Crippling Fear can stop you from using Lasso or Force Staff to escape. This makes your main job—initiating on a key target—much trickier, since he can cast it to protect his allies even after you've started the pull. The dynamic isn't a complete shutdown, as you can still make plays during the daytime or buy a BKB, but it forces Batrider to play much more cautiously.
