How Ancient Apparition and Omniknight perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ancient Apparition and Omniknight win 51.65% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,975 matches.
Picking both Ancient Apparition and Omniknight can lead to your supports pulling in different directions. Ancient Apparition excels at setting up long-range kills with Ice Blast, which prevents enemies from being healed. Omniknight wants to be in the middle of his team, using his spells and Guardian Angel ultimate to sustain them and block physical damage. Their plans don't really overlap in a helpful way. AA's crowd control is decent, but it doesn't create the perfect save scenarios for Omniknight, whose own abilities don't make it any easier for AA to land his global ultimate. Each hero can still do their job, but they rarely combine to be more than the sum of their parts.
