How Arc Warden and Gyrocopter perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Arc Warden and Gyrocopter win 43.97% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 141 matches.
Pairing up two greedy cores looks good on paper, but it creates a huge problem on the map. Both Arc Warden and Gyrocopter are incredibly item-dependent and want to occupy the safest farming areas. This means they are constantly competing for the same resources, slowing down both of their timings significantly. One of them is almost always behind. Without a strong frontliner or setup hero in the draft, they also struggle to execute kills. A single Homing Missile isn't enough lockdown to hold someone in place for Spark Wraiths. They end up as two separate, weak heroes instead of a cohesive unit, making it easy for the enemy to pick them apart before they come online.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
