Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lifestealer wins the Lifestealer vs Muerta matchup: Lifestealer beats Muerta in 58.60% of 628 ranked matches.
Thinking Muerta can kite and kill Lifestealer with Pierce the Veil is a common mistake. In reality, Lifestealer’s Rage makes him immune to magic, nullifying all of Muerta’s damage while her ultimate is active. He can't attack her while she's ethereal, but he can wait out the duration completely unharmed. Once Pierce the Veil ends, she becomes a very simple target for him to run down with Open Wounds. Her other tools like Parting Shot also lose some value, since the disarm won't apply to a Raging Lifestealer. If the game goes long enough for him to buy a Nullifier, he can simply purge her ultimate and kill her at any time.
