How Anti-Mage and Spirit Breaker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Anti-Mage and Spirit Breaker win 51.56% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 23,935 matches.
Getting charged from across the map is tough to deal with, and it gets more complicated when an Anti-Mage can follow up. Spirit Breaker provides the catch and lockdown that Anti-Mage lacks on his own. A successful Charge of Darkness gives Anti-Mage a perfect window to Blink in, burn the target's mana, and secure a kill. The stuns from Spirit Breaker hold the enemy in place long enough for Mana Break to do its work, often leading to a high-damage Mana Void to finish the fight or hit other nearby enemies.
The core tension here comes from their different game plans. Spirit Breaker wants to be active and ganking from early on, creating chaos. Anti-Mage, on the other hand, needs to farm his core items and prefers to avoid fights until he's much stronger. This means Spirit Breaker might be looking for fights that his carry isn't ready or able to join. The game often comes down to whether the rest of the team can capitalize on Spirit Breaker's aggression long enough for Anti-Mage to hit his item timings and take over.
