How Anti-Mage and Necrophos perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Anti-Mage and Necrophos win 50.02% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,027 matches.
Drafting these two together can feel greedy, but their timelines complement each other. Necrophos applies constant pressure from the very start of the game, and his Heartstopper Aura makes it difficult for enemies to contest his area. This pressure forces rotations and creates space across the map, giving Anti-Mage the quiet farm he needs to hit his own timings. When fights do break out, Necrophos keeps his team alive with Death Pulse while softening targets for the carry. A single Reaper's Scythe can also create the perfect opening for Anti-Mage to Blink in and clean up with Mana Void.
