Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Keeper of the Light wins the Beastmaster vs Keeper of the Light matchup: Keeper of the Light beats Beastmaster in 58.58% of 408 ranked matches.
Thinking Beastmaster's army can run down Keeper of the Light is a common mistake. The reality is that Keeper of the Light has perfect answers to this strategy. Illuminate clears out boars and hawks from a safe distance, completely neutralizing the pressure and map control Beastmaster relies on to farm and scout. This forces him to play reactively and puts his whole team on the back foot. Even a good Primal Roar initiation can be ruined. Keeper of the Light can simply use Blinding Light to shove Beastmaster and his allies away, wasting the stun and giving his own team time to reposition and turn the fight. It’s a frustrating game for Beastmaster.
