Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bristleback wins the Bristleback vs Enigma matchup: Bristleback beats Enigma in 55.65% of 469 ranked matches.
Taking objectives and controlling the map becomes incredibly difficult for Enigma's side because his biggest teamfight spell is so easily turned against him. A Black Hole on Bristleback is a nightmare scenario. As Enigma's teammates pile on damage, they trigger Bristleback's passive, releasing a constant stream of automatic Quill Sprays. This massive return damage can kill Enigma as he channels or at least forces his allies to back off, ruining the whole setup. Even without his ultimate, Enigma has no good way to handle Bristleback running at his team, making it hard to defend towers or secure space for his own carries to farm safely.
