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

Trying to set up kills as Ringmaster can be uncomfortable when a Pugna is on the other team. The main problem is Nether Ward, which punishes the spell-heavy control that Ringmaster relies on to function. Each time he tries to trap or hypnotize a target, the ward deals damage back, making it risky for him to fully commit to his combos. Pugna can also use Decrepify to save an ally caught out by Ringmaster's initiation, completely disrupting a gank attempt. This forces Ringmaster to play carefully and focus on destroying the ward first. However, Pugna is a fragile target himself, so if Ringmaster can catch him out of position, the fight can still go his way.
