Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Bristleback wins the Bristleback vs Ursa matchup: Bristleback beats Ursa in 52.79% of 25,483 ranked matches.
Picking Ursa into an enemy Bristleback is a difficult decision from the draft screen. Ursa’s entire game plan revolves around bursting a target down with Fury Swipes, but Bristleback's passive directly counters this. As soon as Ursa commits, Bristleback can simply turn his back, forcing Ursa to waste his Overpower charges on heavily reduced damage. While Ursa tries to reposition, he’s taking repeated stacks of Quill Spray and getting slowed by Nasal Goo, which wears him down fast. Even with Enrage to purge the slow, Ursa struggles to stay in front long enough to secure a kill before Bristleback either walks away or turns to finish the job.
