Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Pugna wins the Pugna vs Templar Assassin matchup: Pugna beats Templar Assassin in 56.78% of 273 ranked matches.
Controlling the map against a Templar Assassin often comes down to shutting down her farm from the start, and Pugna makes this exceptionally difficult for her. He can constantly pressure her tower with Nether Blast, forcing her to choose between last hits and her own safety. Her Refraction shield only blocks one instance of that nuke, leaving her exposed to its high magic damage and disrupting her ability to hit key item timings. Later in the game, Decrepify completely neutralizes Templar Assassin's physical burst. Pugna can use it to save himself or an ally from her initiation, turning her aggressive gank attempts into an easy counter-kill.
