Ogre Magi vs Snapfire

How this matchup plays

Drafting one of these supports into the other feels like a wash because they trade blows so evenly. Both Ogre Magi and Snapfire are durable heroes who can harass effectively in the lane. Ogre wants to close the gap to land Ignite and his stun, while Snapfire prefers to maintain distance to use Lil' Shredder and set up her ultimate. The core interaction often revolves around Mortimer's Kisses. Ogre Magi is naturally tanky enough to walk through the damage and land a Fireblast to cancel the channel, but if Snapfire's team is peeling for her, she can melt the enemy from a safe distance.

As the game progresses, this dynamic continues. An Ogre Magi with a Blink Dagger becomes a huge threat to Snapfire's positioning, but a well-placed Firesnap Cookie can reposition her or an ally out of his initiation range. It usually comes down to which hero's team can better enable their game plan. Both heroes are great at empowering their cores, whether through Bloodlust's attack speed or a perfectly timed defensive Cookie. The outcome depends less on the direct matchup and more on which team executes better around their support's strengths in a given fight.
