Witch Doctor Synergies (7.41)

Best heroes to pair with Witch Doctor in Dota 2 7.41, and the worst pairings, ranked by team win rate over ranked matches.

Witch Doctor's Maledict rewards any setup that keeps enemies low and locked, and his Death Ward needs the enemy held in place. He pairs best with AoE control and front-line lock: Spectre (58.4%) and Wraith King (56.9%) hold the line while WD channels, and Meepo (56.3%) / Phantom Lancer (55.2%) clump and pressure the enemy into his Maledict radius. Riki (55.0%) ambushes the targets he wounds. Give WD a team that locks enemies down and his burst is some of the highest in the game.
