Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Sven wins the Hoodwink vs Sven matchup: Sven beats Hoodwink in 53.17% of 9,394 ranked matches.
Thinking you can kite Sven forever with Scurry and Bushwhack is often a trap. Sven's Warcry provides his whole team with armor, which softens the physical burst damage coming from Hoodwink. His own stun is a straightforward projectile that doesn't care about trees, making it a reliable way to lock her down. Once Sven uses God's Strength, he usually has more than enough damage to overwhelm Hoodwink's evasion and kill her in a single stun duration if he can get close enough.
As the game progresses, it becomes a duel of initiation and positioning. Hoodwink's primary goal is to stay hidden and land a Bushwhack on Sven before he can activate his Black King Bar, setting him up to be killed by her team. Sven, in turn, is looking for a chance to Blink onto Hoodwink and delete her from the fight instantly. Because the fight often hinges on which hero gets the jump on the other, Sven's advantage remains a narrow one.
