Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Willow wins the Dark Willow vs Ringmaster matchup: Dark Willow beats Ringmaster in 50.18% of 3,703 ranked matches.
Trying to lock down Dark Willow can be frustrating, even for a control-focused hero like Ringmaster. While his hypnotic pull is a great tool for setting up a kill, Willow can often react with Shadow Realm to become untargetable and dodge the follow-up damage. This gives her a window to turn the fight with her own lockdown from Bramble Maze. The engagement often comes down to who acts first and who has better vision. Both heroes excel at catching a single target, but they also have the tools to foil each other's plans. This creates a very reactive and even contest where a single misstep on either side can decide the outcome.
