In Dota 2 7.41e, Arc Warden and Drow Ranger win 48.81% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 5,999 matches.
Pushing high ground against a Drow Ranger standing inside Magnetic Field can feel difficult. The attack speed bonus combines with her natural damage, and the projectile evasion makes her a tough target for other ranged cores. The goal is to create a stationary turret that shreds buildings and heroes. The problem is that this setup is completely static. Any hero that can close the distance and get on top of Drow Ranger bypasses the Field's main benefit entirely. Neither Arc Warden nor Drow provides the hard lockdown needed to stop an enemy once they're in melee range.
This pairing often relies on the rest of their team to provide a solid frontline and stuns. If they get that protection, Drow Ranger can safely deal damage from her fortified spot. If they don't, the two cores are easily overrun. Because both heroes also demand a lot of farm, they can sometimes slow each other's key item timings down if they don't secure enough map control early. Success often comes down to whether the enemy lineup has the mobile heroes needed to break the static defense, which many compositions do.
