Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bounty Hunter wins the Bounty Hunter vs Witch Doctor matchup: Bounty Hunter beats Witch Doctor in 50.71% of 9,460 ranked matches.
Playing against an invisible Bounty Hunter is often nerve-wracking for a fragile support. Witch Doctor is no exception, as a quick hit from Jinada can put him in lethal range before he can react. However, Bounty Hunter has to be careful about committing. A stray Paralyzing Cask bounce can stun him mid-attack, and getting hit by Maledict means he’s likely dead even if he uses Shadow Walk to escape. Bounty Hunter wants to make quick, decisive kills, and Witch Doctor’s abilities make that a dangerous proposition.
The matchup often boils down to a game of cat and mouse centered around vision. Bounty Hunter's goal is to find and eliminate Witch Doctor before a teamfight starts, denying the enemy a critical Death Ward. A successful Track makes this much easier. On the other hand, if Witch Doctor plays defensively and his team provides Sentry Wards, he can easily turn an initiation. A revealed Bounty Hunter is a prime target for a full combo, as he lacks the health to survive being stunned and focused. Success hinges entirely on which hero gets the jump on the other.
