Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Pugna wins the Pugna vs Queen of Pain matchup: Pugna beats Queen of Pain in 54.94% of 5,870 ranked matches.
Drafting a mana-hungry blink hero against Pugna is asking for trouble. Nether Ward punishes every part of Queen of Pain's kit, from her Blink initiation to her Scream of Pain and massive-cost Sonic Wave. Using a full spell rotation near a well-placed ward is a death sentence. To make matters worse, Pugna’s Decrepify can be used to save a target she jumps on, rendering her physical attacks useless and giving teammates time to turn the fight. It completely neutralizes her typical aggressive playstyle.
This dynamic forces the Queen of Pain player into a very reactive and careful game. She can't simply jump into the back lines looking for kills. Instead, she has to play around the Nether Ward's vision, wait for someone else to destroy it, or rush a Black King Bar much earlier than she'd like. Pugna, on the other hand, can dictate the pace of teamfights by placing his ward in a key location and forcing the enemy to either ignore their main damage dealer or risk feeding him a kill.
