Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Techies wins the Dark Willow vs Techies matchup: Techies beats Dark Willow in 56.45% of 643 ranked matches.
Picking Dark Willow into a Techies is a tough call because he punishes her preferred playstyle so hard. Her game is about finding angles and moving around the map, but Techies seeds the lanes and jungle with Proximity Mines that make roaming a huge risk. One wrong step and a massive part of her low health pool is gone before a fight even starts. Even in a direct confrontation, Techies has the upper hand. If Dark Willow tries for a big burst out of Shadow Realm, Reactive Tazer can disarm her attack. If she commits with Bedlam, a quick Blast Off! from Techies can silence and kill her before her spell does meaningful damage.
