Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lifestealer wins the Gyrocopter vs Lifestealer matchup: Lifestealer beats Gyrocopter in 56.57% of 525 ranked matches.
Trying to burst down a Lifestealer as Gyrocopter is a losing battle. Lifestealer can activate Rage to become completely immune to all of Gyro's magical damage, including Rocket Barrage and Call Down, which are his main tools for self-defense. This leaves Gyrocopter with only his physical attacks, and Flak Cannon isn't enough to deter a Lifestealer running straight at him. The built-in lifesteal and slow from Ghoul Frenzy mean that once Lifestealer gets on top of the fragile Gyrocopter, there is very little chance of escape.
This mismatch defines the game from the moment Lifestealer gets Rage. Lifestealer will actively hunt for Gyrocopter, often using Infest to close the distance and guarantee a kill. Gyrocopter is forced to play defensively, relying on his team for saves like Force Staffs or stuns to peel. The pressure is on Gyrocopter to farm survival items extremely quickly, but Lifestealer's own farm is usually faster and more secure. This lets him hit his power spike and control the map long before Gyrocopter can get the items needed to handle him.
