Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.

Picking one of these heroes into the other feels less like a counter and more like a statement of intent. The outcome often hinges on which hero controls the engagement. For Necrophos, the constant pressure from Heartstopper Aura wears Techies down, making every use of Blast Off! a dangerous health trade. He can also sustain through scattered mines that would cripple other cores. However, Techies has the exact tools to punish Necrophos. A well-timed Blast Off! provides a silence that stops defensive Ghost Shrouds, and the magic burst can be lethal if it connects while Necrophos is already in his ethereal form. It's a true test of positioning.
