Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lion wins the Nature's Prophet vs Lion matchup: Lion beats Nature's Prophet in 52.80% of 3,161 ranked matches.
Trying to use Teleportation to gank a lane or split-push is how Nature's Prophet creates pressure, but Lion has the perfect tools to punish it. An instant Hex or Earth Spike stops Nature's Prophet from escaping or even finishing his channel. With two separate disables, Lion can easily lock him down long enough for help to arrive or simply burst him solo. Once Finger of Death is online, Lion can often delete Prophet the moment he appears on the map, completely neutralizing his global threat.
This forces Nature's Prophet to play a very respectful game, constantly tracking Lion's position before committing to any play. He's often forced into building survival items earlier than he wants, slowing his own game down. Meanwhile, Lion's job is straightforward: stay out of vision and be ready to jump on Prophet whenever he shows himself. This dynamic puts the entire flow of the game in Lion's court, as he dictates when and where Nature's Prophet is allowed to have an impact.
