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

Thinking you can control a gank with your traps and hypnotic spells is where things go wrong against this hero. Night Stalker's game is to run at a target before they can react, and his silence from Crippling Fear is the main problem here. It completely prevents Ringmaster from using any of his escape tricks or crowd control to create space. Especially at night, Night Stalker moves so quickly that he can close the gap and be on top of you before you have a chance to set anything up. Ringmaster is a spell-dependent hero who wants to control the fight, but Night Stalker doesn't play that game; he sprints past the setup and goes straight for the kill.
