Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Grimstroke wins the Grimstroke vs Ringmaster matchup: Grimstroke beats Ringmaster in 52.76% of 5,226 ranked matches.
Setting up a kill with Ringmaster's crowd control often means pulling your own allies close together to focus a target. This grouping unintentionally creates the perfect scenario for an enemy Grimstroke to land Soulbind, turning Ringmaster's initiation against his own team. Suddenly two of his cores are leashed together and vulnerable to follow-up spells. The same fundamental clash in their kits is why they often feel awkward playing on the same side, as well. While not a constant problem, this recurring threat gives Grimstroke a tangible, if situational, edge whenever a teamfight breaks out.
