How Ancient Apparition and Leshrac perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ancient Apparition and Leshrac win 52.68% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,921 matches.
Facing down a Leshrac with Pulse Nova active is already a problem, but when you also can't heal because of Ice Blast, it can feel impossible to survive teamfights. The theory is that Ancient Apparition's ultimate makes Leshrac's sustained damage completely overwhelming. In practice, though, the duo often struggles to set up their own kills. Both heroes lack instant, reliable lockdown; Cold Feet needs the target to be pinned, and Split Earth has a long cast animation that's easy to dodge. This means they rely heavily on their other teammates for initiation. Without that strong setup, enemies can often split them up, picking off the fragile Ancient Apparition before Leshrac can get his damage to stick.
