Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Zeus wins the Lina vs Zeus matchup: Zeus beats Lina in 50.16% of 39,952 ranked matches.
Interrupting Lina's spellcasting from a safe distance is the main problem here. Zeus can use his Lightning Bolt for vision and its mini-stun to cancel her Light Strike Array before it even lands. This makes it tough for Lina to execute her combo or control the lane, as Zeus can consistently chip away at her health without ever entering her attack range. He gets to dictate the trades without much risk.
This pattern extends into the mid-game. Zeus can find and soften up Lina before a fight begins. Because she's so fragile, Thundergod's Wrath is a constant threat, often finishing her off if she escapes a gank with low health. Lina's plan is to build defensively, usually with a Black King Bar, and find a way to jump on Zeus. She can burst him down quickly if she gets on top of him, but his safe positioning makes that a hard goal to achieve.
