Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bristleback wins the Bristleback vs Elder Titan matchup: Bristleback beats Elder Titan in 50.00% of 120 ranked matches.
Stripping away base armor with Natural Order doesn't do anything to stop the damage reduction from Bristleback's passive. This means Bristleback can run at Elder Titan's team and feel almost as tanky as usual, ignoring the main benefit of having an ET on the enemy team. Meanwhile, all of his Quill Spray stacks deal physical damage, and they become much stronger against targets who have had their armor stripped by the aura. Bristleback is happy to stand his ground during Earth Splitter, stacking up damage on anyone nearby. He can simply walk through Elder Titan's setup and punish the team that's counting on the armor reduction to secure kills.
