Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Nyx Assassin wins the Lina vs Nyx Assassin matchup: Nyx Assassin beats Lina in 55.78% of 54,166 ranked matches.
Playing as Lina against a Nyx Assassin feels like you have a constant target on your back. His ability to find you with Vendetta while you're farming makes pushing out lanes incredibly dangerous. Even in a fight, you have to be careful. Mana Burn is especially punishing against your intelligence pool, draining your ability to cast spells while dealing heavy damage. The real problem is Spiked Carapace. Using Laguna Blade on him is often suicide, as he can reflect the full damage back onto you, usually killing you instantly. This single interaction makes it extremely difficult for Lina to use her strongest tool and gives Nyx Assassin a clear upper hand.
