How Anti-Mage and Silencer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Anti-Mage and Silencer win 50.43% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 17,031 matches.
A well-timed Global Silence can give Anti-Mage a perfect window to initiate. He can Blink onto a key target without worrying about an instant disable or escape, letting him burn their mana and secure a kill. Silencer can also use Last Word to keep that single target locked down. Over a longer fight, enemies who have spent mana dealing with Silencer's spells become better targets for Anti-Mage's Mana Void, providing a clean-up opportunity.
The problem is their game plans often conflict. Anti-Mage needs a lot of time and space to farm his items, playing away from his team. Silencer, on the other hand, is usually more active early, trying to fight and secure kills. This can lead to situations where Global Silence is used defensively to save teammates long before Anti-Mage is ready to contribute. The pair's success relies on the rest of the team surviving the mid-game until Anti-Mage is strong enough to join fights and capitalize on Silencer's setup.
