How this matchup plays

Trying to trap someone in Arena of Blood only for them to leave immediately is a huge problem. Primal Beast can do exactly that, using Onslaught to charge straight through the arena wall and escape. This leaves Mars with his main teamfight spell on cooldown and his primary target free. In a straight-up brawl, Primal Beast's consistent damage from Trample also puts a lot of pressure on Mars, who can struggle to trade effectively. Even if Bulwark blocks some damage, it does nothing to prevent Primal Beast from picking Mars up with Pulverize, which is often a death sentence. He has too many tools to simply ignore what Mars is trying to accomplish.
