Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Willow wins the Dark Willow vs Lone Druid matchup: Dark Willow beats Lone Druid in 52.53% of 1,561 ranked matches.
Dealing with the Spirit Bear is a constant annoyance for most heroes, but Dark Willow has the right tools to manage it. Her Bramble Maze and Cursed Crown can hold both the bear and Lone Druid in place, giving her team space to kite and focus one down. This makes it difficult for him to simply run at a target and overwhelm them with physical damage. However, if Lone Druid's bear lands an Entangling Claws, Willow is often too fragile to survive the follow-up. The whole fight hinges on her ability to maintain distance. The matchup often comes down to positioning and which hero can execute their control combo first, leading to a balanced exchange.
