Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Wraith King wins the Pugna vs Wraith King matchup: Wraith King beats Pugna in 52.85% of 789 ranked matches.
Trying to channel Life Drain on a primary target is how Pugna expects to win a teamfight. Against Wraith King, this plan falls apart. Draining Wraith King’s entire health bar takes a long time, and even if successful, Reincarnation brings him back to full health and mana. This completely resets the engagement, but now Pugna's ultimate is on a long cooldown. Wraith King gets a second life to finish the job, while Pugna is left exposed and without his most important spell for the rest of the fight.
This dynamic makes Wraith King a natural bait for Pugna's abilities. During the laning phase, Wraith King can often sustain through Nether Ward’s damage. In later teamfights, he can confidently walk in front, daring the Life Drain. A Pugna player is forced into a bad choice: either use his ultimate on a target that will come back to life, or try to ignore the massive, stunning carry hitting his team. Pugna’s best play is often to save his drain for a different hero, but that’s not always an option when Wraith King is leading the charge.
