Ancient Apparition + Keeper of the Light

Why this works

Trying to control a teamfight from the backline with this duo has its tradeoffs. Keeper of the Light can supply Ancient Apparition with a steady stream of mana from Chakra Magic, letting him constantly apply pressure with Ice Vortex. In theory, their ultimates can combine for a lot of area denial and damage. The problem is that both heroes are incredibly squishy and lack any form of instant, reliable lockdown. This makes them extremely vulnerable to being run at, both in the lane and in mid-game fights. A single aggressive core can often take out both supports before they can get their spells off.

How the game plays out depends entirely on what the other three heroes are. With a durable frontline to create space and provide initiation, Ancient Apparition and Keeper of the Light can be effective, slowly grinding down the enemy team from a safe distance. Without that setup, they are simply two easy kills waiting to happen. They can’t peel for each other or their core effectively, and a poorly timed Blinding Light can even knock enemies to safety, away from an incoming Ice Blast. This makes the pairing a gamble that relies heavily on the rest of the draft to function.
