Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dazzle wins the Dazzle vs Techies matchup: Dazzle beats Techies in 50.25% of 6,725 ranked matches.
Playing against a Techies often feels like one misstep means instant death, but Dazzle's whole purpose is to prevent that. Shallow Grave is the perfect answer to a hero getting caught by a mine stack or a surprise Blast Off!. This puts the pressure back on Techies, who needs to find a way to stop the save. The silence from Blast Off! is the main tool for this. If Techies can land it on Dazzle, or on Dazzle's intended target, the save is prevented and the kill is secured.
The entire game revolves around this interaction. Techies will try to pick off Dazzle first to disable his team's safety net, or set traps so elaborate that Grave can't be cast in time. Dazzle, meanwhile, has to play cautiously from the back lines, anticipating which teammate is most likely to be targeted. A fight can be decided entirely by whether Dazzle can react in time to save a core, or whether the Techies can successfully jump and silence him before he gets a single spell off.
