How Underlord and Necrophos perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Underlord and Necrophos win 51.72% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,193 matches.
Trying to teamfight against this pair is a slow, grinding death. Underlord traps enemies with Pit of Malice, letting both his Firestorm and Necrophos's Heartstopper Aura melt everyone stuck inside. This constant area-of-effect pressure makes it easy for Necrophos to find a target for Reaper's Scythe, often turning the fight with a single kill. Underlord's damage reduction also protects Necrophos, giving him the time he needs to wear opponents down. Admittedly, this combo hasn't been showing up much in games lately, so keep that in mind.
