Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Tusk wins the Queen of Pain vs Tusk matchup: Tusk beats Queen of Pain in 50.21% of 7,933 ranked matches.
Picking a mobile hero into Tusk can feel safe, but this matchup is a real test of cooldown management. Queen of Pain uses Blink to dodge Snowball initiations and reposition away from Ice Shards, making her a difficult target for Tusk to lock down on his own. However, if QoP's Blink is on cooldown when Tusk commits, she's an easy kill for his team. The entire dynamic revolves around that one critical escape spell and whether Tusk can find a window to attack.
Teamfights become a duel of key abilities. Tusk often positions defensively to use Snowball to save whichever ally Queen of Pain tries to burst with Sonic Wave. In turn, QoP waits for Tusk to commit his spells elsewhere before she blinks in aggressively. Each hero’s core function directly interferes with the other's. Tusk wants to lock down a target for his team to kill, while QoP wants to isolate and kill a target on her own, making for a very even trade of priorities.
