How this matchup plays

A fight between these two often comes down to a duel of key spells. Outworld Destroyer has a perfect answer to Dark Willow's aggression with Astral Imprisonment, which can completely waste her Bedlam duration or let him dodge her Cursed Crown. This forces her to play very carefully. However, Willow’s own defensive tool, Shadow Realm, is just as effective. She can use it to become untargetable, avoiding all of his Arcane Orb damage and waiting for a better opportunity to strike. Since each hero has a way to nullify the other's primary plan, the lane and later teamfights feel very balanced, depending entirely on cooldowns and execution.
