Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Wraith King wins the Wraith King vs Witch Doctor matchup: Wraith King beats Witch Doctor in 54.16% of 95,090 ranked matches.
Committing the full power of Maledict and Death Ward feels like it should kill any hero, but against Wraith King it's often a mistake. Witch Doctor can burn his entire kit to secure the first kill, only for Reincarnation to bring Wraith King back to life with a massive slow, right on top of a now-defenseless support. All of Witch Doctor's key spells are on cooldown, leaving him with no escape and no way to fight back as Wraith King gets a free kill.
This dynamic forces the Witch Doctor to play perfectly while the Wraith King can be much more reckless. Wraith King is free to jump into fights, knowing his second life invalidates Witch Doctor's main contribution. He can tank the Death Ward, die, and then get up to finish the job. The Witch Doctor has to choose between using his spells on the King—and likely dying to the second life—or ignoring him and letting a two-life carry run rampant through his own backline.
