Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Necrophos wins the Necrophos vs Silencer matchup: Necrophos beats Silencer in 50.11% of 2,742 ranked matches.
Laning against Necrophos as a spell-heavy hero is a miserable experience, and Silencer is no exception. Heartstopper Aura punishes you for existing near him, and Reaper’s Scythe is a terrifying threat. However, Silencer has the perfect tool to fight back. A well-timed Global Silence can stop Necrophos from using Scythe to finish a kill or Ghost Shroud to save himself. The fight often comes down to positioning and cooldowns. If Silencer catches Necrophos without his team, he can be bursted down. If Necrophos can survive the initial silence, he can easily run down the fragile Silencer and finish him off.
