Anti-Mage + Luna

Why this works

Drafting these two together creates tension over the map's resources. Both Anti-Mage and Luna are farm-dependent carries who need space and time to hit their core items. Anti-Mage wants to accelerate with a Battle Fury, while Luna needs her own items to begin pushing lanes and fighting effectively. Since they both want to occupy the safest and most profitable farming locations, they can end up competing with each other for gold and experience, which can slow down the critical item timings for both of them.

The mid-game plan usually involves splitting the map, with each hero taking a different quadrant to farm. While Luna's Lunar Blessing aura provides a damage boost, Anti-Mage is frequently too far away clearing jungle camps to benefit from it. This can leave the rest of the team playing at a disadvantage until one or both cores are ready to join fights. If the enemy team applies enough early pressure, it can be difficult for this lineup to stabilize before key objectives are lost, making it harder for either carry to find the farm they need to come online.
