Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Skywrath Mage wins the Queen of Pain vs Skywrath Mage matchup: Skywrath Mage beats Queen of Pain in 53.80% of 1,989 ranked matches.
Landing Ancient Seal on Queen of Pain is the entire game plan for Skywrath Mage. The silence prevents her from using Blink to escape, leaving her completely exposed to Mystic Flare and his full combo. This threat forces the QoP to play much more cautiously than she'd like, as an aggressive Blink can easily turn into a death sentence if Skywrath is nearby. While Queen of Pain can eventually buy an item to dispel the silence, she has to survive that long first. Skywrath's ability to consistently punish her positioning gives him a reliable advantage, especially during the laning stage and early teamfights.
