How this matchup plays

Trying to jump on Dark Willow as Marci can be a frustrating experience. A well-timed Shadow Realm lets Willow dodge the Rebound stun and wait out Unleash, leaving Marci standing awkwardly in the open. Cursed Crown can also stop Marci's initiation before it even starts, turning the gank completely around. However, this fight is a coin flip because if Marci catches Dark Willow first with an item or a teammate's stun, Willow has no escape and dies very quickly. The matchup often hinges on which hero can land their spell first, as Dark Willow has the perfect tools to counter Marci’s aggression, but is helpless if she’s the one who gets caught.
