Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Witch Doctor wins the Primal Beast vs Witch Doctor matchup: Witch Doctor beats Primal Beast in 58.75% of 640 ranked matches.
Interrupting Primal Beast’s Onslaught with a well-timed Paralyzing Cask often decides the fight before it even starts. This simple bounce can stop his main way of getting into a fight, leaving him awkwardly out of position. Even if Primal Beast manages to close the distance and use Pulverize on a key target, he becomes a stationary, helpless victim for a full-duration Death Ward. Witch Doctor can drop his ultimate and melt the beast from a safe distance. Maledict also punishes Primal Beast's all-in style, amplifying the damage he takes while trying to Trample through the enemy team, making it hard to survive his own aggression.
