Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Earth Spirit wins the Earth Spirit vs Venomancer matchup: Earth Spirit beats Venomancer in 51.84% of 13,580 ranked matches.
Controlling the map against Venomancer becomes much easier when you have an Earth Spirit. Venomancer is slow and has no escape, making him a prime target for Earth Spirit’s long-range initiations with Rolling Boulder. Before Veno can establish a foothold with Plague Wards, ES can repeatedly find and kill him, keeping him poor. Even in bigger fights, Earth Spirit is a direct answer to Veno's kit. He can kick away the squishy Plague Wards to deny vision and damage, or use Boulder Smash to push an enemy away after they get hit by Venomous Gale. The silence from Geomagnetic Grip can also stop Poison Nova from ever being cast.
