Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Witch Doctor wins the Meepo vs Witch Doctor matchup: Witch Doctor beats Meepo in 53.84% of 3,148 ranked matches.
People often assume Death Ward is the big problem for Meepo, but the real trouble starts with Witch Doctor's basic spells. A single Paralyzing Cask can bounce between all of Meepo's clones, locking them down for an extended time and preventing any escape with Poof. Following that up with Maledict is what really turns the tide. The curse amplifies all damage the main Meepo takes, turning his own Poof combo into a potential suicide button. A full channel of the ultimate is often unnecessary when the other spells so effectively punish a clumped-up Meepo.
This matchup becomes a game of quick reactions. The Meepo player needs to identify and burst the Witch Doctor before he can get his spells off, often using a Blink Dagger to initiate from an unexpected angle. For the Witch Doctor, it's all about positioning safely behind his cores and being ready to throw Cask the moment Meepo appears. The fight is usually decided in the first few seconds of engagement. Witch Doctor's defensive potential gives him a leg up, as he can turn Meepo's own aggression against him.
