Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Keeper of the Light wins the Keeper of the Light vs Night Stalker matchup: Keeper of the Light beats Night Stalker in 50.78% of 6,875 ranked matches.
Trying to run down a support at night is Night Stalker's whole plan, but Keeper of the Light has a specific answer for it. A well-timed Blinding Light will stop the charge completely, knocking Night Stalker back and making his attacks miss. This can ruin a gank and save a core. The flip side is that if Night Stalker gets his silence on Keeper of the Light first, there is no escape. The fight often comes down to who gets the jump on whom and uses their spell first.
The game's tempo really depends on the time of day. During daylight, Keeper of the Light can safely shove lanes with Illuminate from a distance, forcing Night Stalker to react and preventing his team from taking objectives. As soon as night falls, the tables turn, and KotL becomes the primary target. The game often hinges on whether KotL's team can provide enough vision and protection for him at night, or if Night Stalker's team can successfully isolate him.
