Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Tusk wins the Drow Ranger vs Tusk matchup: Tusk beats Drow Ranger in 51.71% of 9,325 ranked matches.
Closing the gap on Drow Ranger is the core of Tusk's plan, but it's a task her kit is built to punish. A well-timed Gust provides a knockback and silence, stopping Snowball initiations cold and preventing Tusk from applying Tag Team or using Walrus PUNCH. This brief window is usually all Drow needs to create distance with Frost Arrows and begin kiting. Whereas their abilities can feel redundant on the same team, as opponents they directly counteract one another. Tusk wants to get close to disable Marksmanship, and Drow has the ideal tool to stop him.
The whole matchup revolves around that single interaction. Tusk's goal is to find an angle where he can get on top of Drow Ranger before she can react, either from the fog of war or with a Blink Dagger. If he successfully lands and survives the initial moment, Drow is one of the easiest targets for him to burst down. Drow's plan is simpler: stay behind her team and keep her finger on the Gust hotkey. Since her main defensive tool so directly answers his primary offensive one, she holds a consistent, if small, edge.
