Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dawnbreaker wins the Dawnbreaker vs Witch Doctor matchup: Dawnbreaker beats Witch Doctor in 51.40% of 2,171 ranked matches.
Teamfights often come down to a duel of spells between these two. Dawnbreaker is excellent at interrupting Death Ward; she can typically survive the first few hits, close the distance, and stun Witch Doctor with Starbreaker to cancel the channel. Her global presence also lets her join fights to punish his aggression anywhere on the map. On the other hand, Maledict is a perfect tool against a durable hero like Dawnbreaker who wants to have a long, drawn-out brawl. A stray Paralyzing Cask can also ruin her day by interrupting a Starbreaker charge. The outcome usually depends on which hero gets their key spells off cleanly with their team's support.
