Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Venomancer wins the Storm Spirit vs Venomancer matchup: Venomancer beats Storm Spirit in 54.45% of 753 ranked matches.
Casting Ball Lightning purges the slow from Venomous Gale, which makes it much harder for Venomancer to control a fight. This freedom lets Storm Spirit pick his entry points without getting bogged down by Veno's main setup spell. While the widespread damage over time can still be a problem, Storm's ability to cleanse that initial lockdown means he dictates the terms of the engagement. He can often jump a support and get out before Venomancer's sustained poison really takes its toll. It's tough for Veno to land his full combination when Storm can so easily negate the first and most important part of it.
