How Anti-Mage and Dazzle perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Anti-Mage and Dazzle win 52.44% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 8,683 matches.
Pairing these heroes together is a trade-off between sustain and pressure. Dazzle’s Shallow Grave can be a life-saver for Anti-Mage, giving him the extra moment needed to Blink out of a gank and get back to farming. The sustain from Shadow Wave can also make a difficult lane manageable. The problem is that Dazzle offers very little lockdown or offensive setup. He can't help Anti-Mage secure kills in the lane or during early rotations. The duo is entirely defensive, which can leave Anti-Mage feeling passive and unable to create his own momentum.
This dynamic often leads to the heroes playing separate games. Through the mid-game, Anti-Mage wants to be alone, split-pushing lanes and farming jungle camps. Dazzle is better off grouped with the rest of his team, trying to win skirmishes and create space. They may only come together for late-game teamfights, where a well-timed Shallow Grave on a farmed Anti-Mage can certainly be effective. The success of the pairing depends entirely on whether Dazzle and the other three heroes can survive long enough for Anti-Mage to come online.
