Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Techies wins the Bristleback vs Techies matchup: Techies beats Bristleback in 50.95% of 1,109 ranked matches.
Controlling the map's tempo is the central conflict in this matchup. Bristleback wants to farm aggressively and pressure towers, but Techies can make that incredibly dangerous with well-placed Proximity Mines, slowing down his item progression. The slows from Sticky Bomb also help kite him effectively in fights. The dynamic is balanced, though, because Bristleback is built to absorb punishment. He can eventually get tanky enough to walk through minefields, or even clear them safely with his back turned. If Bristleback ever manages to close the distance on a Techies, the fight is over almost instantly. It all depends on who dictates the engagement.
