How Ancient Apparition and Lone Druid perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ancient Apparition and Lone Druid win 48.32% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 238 matches.
Sieging high ground becomes a bit simpler when a target hit by Ice Blast can't regenerate against the Spirit Bear's relentless attacks. Lone Druid excels at chipping down towers and forcing defenders to show themselves. When they do, Ancient Apparition provides the crucial anti-healing that ensures the bear's damage sticks. This is particularly effective against tanky heroes who rely on regeneration or lifesteal to survive protracted fights. Cold Feet can also hold a defender in place for the bear to finish them off. The combination doesn't fundamentally alter either hero's game plan, but it makes Lone Druid's existing pressure that much more certain to result in a kill.
