Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Skywrath Mage wins the Nature's Prophet vs Skywrath Mage matchup: Skywrath Mage beats Nature's Prophet in 58.65% of 1,410 ranked matches.
Trying to trap a hero with Sprout usually sets up a kill, but Skywrath Mage doesn't care; he can still unload his entire kit from outside the trees. The real problem for Nature's Prophet is the silence from Ancient Seal. It completely stops Teleport, leaving him with no way to escape. A silenced Prophet is a free kill for Skywrath's Mystic Flare combo, as he's too fragile to tank the damage and has no other defensive tools to rely on.
This dynamic makes it incredibly risky for Nature's Prophet to split push effectively. He's constantly looking over his shoulder for a rotation from Skywrath Mage, who can easily secure kills on him across the map. To survive, Prophet is often forced into buying an early Black King Bar or other defensive items, which slows down his own farm and pressure. Skywrath gets to dictate the tempo, hunting a valuable target who can't really fight back.
