Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Necrophos wins the Invoker vs Necrophos matchup: Necrophos beats Invoker in 51.70% of 5,145 ranked matches.
Trying to win the lane against Necrophos can feel like an uphill battle. His constant area damage from Heartstopper Aura makes it difficult for Invoker to trade effectively, wearing him down even with Quas regeneration. When the moment comes to commit for a kill, Ghost Shroud can completely nullify the physical damage from Forge Spirits, allowing Necrophos to survive the burst and heal back up. This dynamic forces Invoker to play cautiously, as getting low on health makes him an easy target for a Reaper's Scythe. While Invoker has the spells to control and burst Necrophos from a distance, it requires precise timing to catch him without his defensive abilities ready.
