Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Crystal Maiden wins the Crystal Maiden vs Necrophos matchup: Crystal Maiden beats Necrophos in 53.47% of 3,295 ranked matches.
Trying to burst down a durable core like Necrophos is where this matchup hinges. Crystal Maiden’s Frostbite is perfect for holding him in place for her allies, as he has no natural escape. Getting close enough to do this, however, puts her in constant danger from his Heartstopper Aura and makes her an obvious target for Reaper’s Scythe once her health gets low. In turn, a well-placed Freezing Field can do a lot of work against a slow-moving target, but Necrophos is notoriously difficult to finish off. He can often sustain through the damage with Death Pulse long enough for his team to deal with the channel.
