How Arc Warden and Viper perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Arc Warden and Viper win 49.61% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,314 matches.
Pushing for objectives in the mid-game often exposes why this lineup struggles. Viper wants to be front and center, applying pressure with Nethertoxin and forcing fights. Arc Warden’s game plan is the opposite: he wants to farm safely and split-push from a distance with his Tempest Double. This leaves your team in a constant state of compromise. Either Viper is taking a fight outnumbered, or Arc Warden is being dragged into brawls before he has the items to contribute effectively. They both also want to occupy the same farm-intensive core role, putting a huge strain on the team's resources and often leaving the draft without a true initiator or durable frontline.
