Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Grimstroke wins the Death Prophet vs Grimstroke matchup: Grimstroke beats Death Prophet in 52.75% of 3,289 ranked matches.
Picking Death Prophet early often means the enemy team will look for a Grimstroke, and for good reason. His kit is a nightmare for her. Phantom's Embrace is a latching silence that stops her from using Spirit Siphon to survive or casting her own spells to control a fight. Ink Swell offers a reliable stun to break her momentum. Together, these tools make it incredibly difficult for Death Prophet to execute her spell rotation and stay alive, pinning her down before she can become a threat.
This problem gets worse as the game progresses. The moment Death Prophet wants to use Exorcism to siege a tower or win a teamfight, Grimstroke is ready. A single Soulbind ultimate can tether her to a teammate, completely neutralizing her ability to reposition and making her an easy target for a coordinated burst. The Death Prophet is forced into a reactive posture, having to wait for Grimstroke to use his key spells on someone else or buy a very early Black King Bar, which can still be played around.
