Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Dazzle wins the Dazzle vs Pugna matchup: Dazzle beats Pugna in 50.24% of 11,004 ranked matches.
Using Life Drain to finish a target is central to Pugna's game, but Dazzle's Shallow Grave completely nullifies that kill potential. This interaction alone can turn a successful gank into a failure. On the other hand, Pugna's Nether Ward is a nightmare for Dazzle. To get the most out of his kit and Bad Juju, Dazzle has to constantly cast his low-cooldown spells, and the ward punishes him for every single one. The fight often comes down to positioning and initiative. If Dazzle can't cast safely, he's a liability, but if he's free to use his spells, he makes it incredibly difficult for Pugna to secure kills.
