Dark Willow

Dark Willow: Ranged, position 4 (soft support), Nuker, Disabler, Escape. In patch 7.41f the hero has a 48.8% win rate in pubs and a 7.6% pick rate.

A slight flutter from the shadows may be all an enemy sees of Dark Willow, as she eludes pursuit and controls her foe's movements with cunning fae tricks. Calling upon powers far more ancient than any scholarly magic, she binds enemies in place before unleashing the full wrath and terror of the fae realm upon them.

A review of your Dark Willow game

Sign in with Steam and pick a match: the coach reads the replay second by second and in a couple of minutes shows where the game slipped.

  • Every death and fight becomes a moment on the map: the fog of war as you saw it, and what the enemy saw that second.
  • Your pace against the Dark Willow benchmark: 350 GPM for an average player, 404 for a good one.
  • Timings against pros: they have Wind Lace by minute 12, and the coach shows where you lose time.
  • Five-game homework the coach checks in your next review, plus a chat with the coach about the match.
