Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Willow wins the Dark Willow vs Puck matchup: Dark Willow beats Puck in 51.82% of 330 ranked matches.
Controlling the early game tempo is a real struggle for both heroes here. Puck can often feel safe to push waves and pressure towers, knowing that a quick Phase Shift will dodge Dark Willow's Cursed Crown stun. This makes it hard for Willow to set up kills. On the other hand, Dark Willow can use Shadow Realm to become untargetable, neatly avoiding Puck's incoming Waning Rift silence or the initial damage from Dream Coil. Since both heroes have reliable ways to dodge the other's primary lockdown and burst, solo kills are rare. The lane and later fights often boil down to who can bait out the other's defensive spell first.
