Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Phantom Lancer wins the Batrider vs Phantom Lancer matchup: Phantom Lancer beats Batrider in 58.46% of 6,541 ranked matches.
Trying to execute a clean initiation with Flaming Lasso is the central problem here. Phantom Lancer's constant stream of illusions makes finding the real hero a massive gamble, and grabbing the wrong one often costs the entire teamfight. Even if Batrider successfully lassos the true PL, a well-timed Doppelganger can confuse the follow-up burst from his team, allowing PL to survive the duration. While Sticky Napalm helps slow the illusion army, Firefly's damage-over-time isn't nearly fast enough to clear them out. Before long, Batrider finds himself swarmed and unable to fight back against the sheer numbers Phantom Lancer brings to the fight.
