Why this works

Setting up a kill with this pair often feels disconnected. Ancient Apparition’s Cold Feet needs a target to stand still, but Weaver has no lockdown to help land the stun. Weaver is also almost entirely a physical damage hero, so he doesn't get much from the magic resistance reduction of Ice Vortex. While Chilling Touch adds a bit of damage to his attacks, it's a flat magic bonus that doesn't scale with the physical items Weaver wants to build. Their kits are self-sufficient, but they don't directly amplify what the other is trying to do.

This means they tend to play separate games within the same teamfight. Weaver will be diving supports with Shukuchi, relying on Time Lapse to get out, while Ancient Apparition stays far in the back looking for a good Ice Blast. The ultimate is always useful for stopping heals or finishing off runners, but it doesn't specifically enable Weaver's goal of bursting a target with physical damage. They can function on the same team, but they rarely combine their strengths to create an advantage that a different support or carry couldn't.
