How Ancient Apparition and Visage perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ancient Apparition and Visage win 54.65% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,129 matches.
Pushing for an early advantage with this duo can feel inconsistent. The kill threat often hinges on Ancient Apparition's Cold Feet, and Visage's Grave Chill can slow a target enough to make that stun much more likely to land. This creates a good window for Visage to unload his burst damage. Ice Blast is then a solid tool for securing kills against survivors, as it prevents any healing and finishes off low-health targets globally. However, their combined lack of instant, reliable lockdown means mobile enemies can often escape if the initial setup fails. This makes their ganking potential feel very hit-or-miss, leading to a fairly average performance together.
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.
