Beastmaster vs Juggernaut

How this matchup plays

Thinking Primal Roar is a reliable lockdown for Juggernaut is a common trap. The spin from Blade Fury negates the stun completely, allowing him to easily escape what should be a guaranteed kill. This single interaction defines the matchup. Juggernaut doesn't have to fear Beastmaster's initiation nearly as much as other heroes do. Furthermore, Blade Fury is also an excellent tool for clearing out the boars and other summons that Beastmaster relies on for damage, vision, and control. It removes the slows and carves through the zoo, neutralizing a huge part of Beastmaster's contribution to a fight.

Across the game, this gives Juggernaut control over the tempo. Beastmaster wants to use his Roar timing to secure objectives and gank, but Juggernaut can often spin and teleport away, wasting the long cooldown. When Beastmaster tries to push towers, Juggernaut can safely clear the creep wave and all the summons with Blade Fury, stalling indefinitely. Later on, Omnislash also makes quick work of Beastmaster's army. Juggernaut's Healing Ward can sustain his team through the poke from Wild Axes, forcing Beastmaster to commit to a fight where his best tools are already countered.
