Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Grimstroke wins the Nature's Prophet vs Grimstroke matchup: Grimstroke beats Nature's Prophet in 55.47% of 685 ranked matches.
Getting caught by Soulbind shuts down Nature's Prophet's core game plan. His entire strategy relies on using Teleportation to escape after split-pushing, but Grimstroke's ultimate completely prevents this. If leashed, he either has to stand and fight a battle he can't win, or he pulls an ally to their death if he tries to teleport away. On top of that, Grimstroke's other spells are effective tools for the matchup; Stroke of Fate clears Treants instantly and Ink Swell provides a stun to interrupt channeling.
This means Nature's Prophet can't safely pressure the map once Grimstroke has his ultimate. He is forced to either group with his team, where his impact is diminished, or play so passively that his global presence is wasted. Grimstroke can confidently hunt him, knowing a successful Soulbind will almost always secure a kill. The usual cat-and-mouse game of split-pushing is over before it begins, allowing Grimstroke's team to control the map and force objectives while Nature's Prophet is stuck on the defensive.
