Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Grimstroke wins the Grimstroke vs Ursa matchup: Grimstroke beats Ursa in 53.89% of 5,591 ranked matches.
Seeing a Grimstroke might seem fine for an Ursa who relies on attacks, not spells. The reality is that Soulbind's leash is devastating. Ursa’s entire plan relies on isolating and killing one target quickly. Soulbind prevents this by chaining that target to an ally, forcing Ursa to fight two heroes or get kited. On top of that, Grimstroke’s Ink Swell provides a perfect disengage for Ursa’s target, stunning him for staying close. Phantom's Embrace also shuts down his ability to use Overpower before he can afford a dispel.
Laning against Grimstroke means constant harass from Stroke of Fate, and Ursa's key Blink Dagger timing is blunted later on. He is often forced into an early BKB to function, but even that doesn't stop Soulbind's leash from ruining his initiation. Ursa wants to find one hero and delete them; Grimstroke's kit is built to ensure his teammates never have to face that fight alone.
