Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Bristleback wins the Bristleback vs Visage matchup: Bristleback beats Visage in 51.21% of 5,952 ranked matches.
Trying to burst anyone down with Familiars is tough when Bristleback is nearby. His constant Quill Sprays are perfect for clearing out Visage's birds, which represent a huge part of his damage output. Even if the Familiars aren't the focus, each Quill Spray helps wear down the layers of Gravekeeper's Cloak, making Visage himself much easier to kill. Bristleback is also one of the last heroes Visage wants to try and focus, since he's designed to soak up exactly that kind of sustained damage. Visage can still find kills on squishier allies, but he has a very hard time dealing with Bristleback directly at any stage of the game.
