Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Willow wins the Dark Willow vs Templar Assassin matchup: Dark Willow beats Templar Assassin in 53.31% of 302 ranked matches.
A full set of Refraction charges disappears almost instantly to a single cast of Bedlam, leaving Templar Assassin completely exposed. Dark Willow can then easily follow up with Bramble Maze or Cursed Crown to lock her down for the kill, making it incredibly difficult for TA to play her typical aggressive, front-foot style. Even if Templar Assassin manages to get the jump, Dark Willow can often use Shadow Realm to dodge the initial Meld strike and turn the fight around. The constant threat of being rooted and having her defensive layer stripped makes it hard for TA to find favorable fights anywhere on the map.
