Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Wraith King wins the Dark Willow vs Wraith King matchup: Wraith King beats Dark Willow in 55.89% of 943 ranked matches.
Trying to burst down a target is Dark Willow’s whole job, but it's a losing effort against Wraith King. She can commit Bedlam, Cursed Crown, and everything else to get a kill, only for him to stand right back up with Reincarnation. When he does, he applies a massive slow, and Dark Willow is left with long cooldowns and no way to escape. Even if she tries to use Shadow Realm to wait out the danger, he can often close the distance and kill her the moment it ends.
This dynamic makes teamfights incredibly difficult for Dark Willow. She's forced to either ignore Wraith King, which isn't always possible, or risk wasting her most important spells on a hero with two lives. A smart Wraith King player will use this to his advantage, walking directly at her and forcing a bad reaction. Her only real option is to play far back, use her control on his teammates, and hope someone else on her team can handle the king himself.
