Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.

Getting swapped by Vengeful Spirit is a nightmare, but Keeper of the Light has the tools to manage it. Blinding Light is a great way to push Venge or her allies away after a Nether Swap, buying time to escape. On the other hand, Vengeful Spirit can easily interrupt Illuminate with Magic Missile, preventing Keeper from safely clearing waves or contributing to fights from a distance. The matchup really comes down to positioning and who gets the jump first. We haven't seen this pairing much lately, so it's hard to say for sure how it feels in the current game.
