How Ancient Apparition and Ringmaster perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ancient Apparition and Ringmaster win 47.66% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,438 matches.
Falling behind on objectives and map control is a common outcome for this duo, largely because their abilities can work at cross-purposes. Ringmaster has powerful tools to forcibly move enemies, but this movement directly interferes with Ancient Apparition's Cold Feet, which needs a target to hold still to trigger its stun. This leaves them with redundant forms of control that don't chain together effectively. In lane, they lack the combined damage to secure kills, often resulting in a passive early game where both heroes struggle to have an impact before the enemy team takes control of the game.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
