Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bristleback wins the Bristleback vs Centaur Warrunner matchup: Bristleback beats Centaur Warrunner in 50.24% of 8,863 ranked matches.
Thinking these two big strength heroes will trade evenly is a common mistake. Centaur Warrunner wants to land his stun and Double Edge for a big burst of damage, but Bristleback survives that initial hit easily, especially if he gets his back turned. Once the combo is done, Centaur has little follow-up. Bristleback, on the other hand, is only getting started. Each Quill Spray he lands makes the next one hurt more, and he can cast them constantly while running Centaur down. It's a war of attrition, and Bristleback is built for it.
In lane, Centaur can't bully Bristleback out, as trading hits is a losing game once the quills start stacking up. Later on, Centaur's initiation with Stampede is still valuable for his team, but he can't be the one to focus Bristleback. His best bet is to stun Bristleback for his carries or use his ultimate to get his team away. If Centaur tries to man-fight Bristleback, he’ll find his health bar melts from stacks of Goo and Quills long before Bristleback is in any danger.
