How Underlord and Kunkka perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Underlord and Kunkka win 48.47% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,874 matches.
Stacking Underlord’s Pit of Malice and Firestorm on top of a Kunkka combo seems like an obvious way to win a fight. The reality is that both heroes often end up trying to do a similar job. Kunkka's Torrent and Ghostship already provide plenty of control and damage, and adding Underlord’s spells is frequently overkill for a single target caught by X Marks the Spot. In wider teamfights, they can struggle to coordinate their goals. Underlord wants a long, messy brawl to get value from his aura, while Kunkka is looking for a clean initiation to blow someone up. They don't actively get in each other's way, but their kits don't build on each other as well as you might think.
