Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Death Prophet wins the Death Prophet vs Keeper of the Light matchup: Death Prophet beats Keeper of the Light in 50.00% of 362 ranked matches.
Picking Death Prophet means you need to be very wary of the enemy support draft, because a hero like Keeper of the Light can single-handedly dismantle your game plan. Death Prophet relies on using Exorcism to run at towers and heroes, but KOTL's kit is perfectly suited to stop this. He can stall the siege by safely clearing creep waves with Illuminate from out of her reach. More critically, as soon as Death Prophet commits and runs forward, a well-timed Blinding Light will shove her completely out of the fight, wasting the long cooldown on her ultimate. This leaves her team without its main damage source for pushing and fighting, effectively neutralizing her biggest timing window.
