Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lina wins the Lina vs Phoenix matchup: Lina beats Phoenix in 50.66% of 13,901 ranked matches.
The core of this matchup revolves around Phoenix's Supernova. Lina has the high single-target burst and attack speed from Fiery Soul to destroy the egg on her own, especially with a Laguna Blade. This can completely neutralize Phoenix's biggest teamfight contribution. However, Phoenix’s Fire Spirits are the perfect answer, crippling Lina’s attack speed and making it nearly impossible for her to get the required hits in. Because each hero has a direct and powerful answer to the other's main strategy, the result of any given fight is hard to predict.
This turns late-game teamfights into a duel of cooldowns and positioning. The Phoenix player is looking to land Fire Spirits on Lina before committing to Supernova, guaranteeing a successful ultimate. Meanwhile, Lina has to position carefully, holding her own spells to be ready to burst the egg the moment it appears. If Lina gets her combo off, her team can clean up. If Phoenix lands his spirits first, the fight-winning stun is almost guaranteed. It all comes down to who executes better in that specific moment.
