How Axe and Disruptor perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Axe and Disruptor win 49.88% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 32,172 matches.
Catching an enemy with Glimpse offers a clean way to set up for Axe. Instead of needing a risky, long-range Blink Dagger initiation, Axe can wait for Disruptor to bring a target to him for an easy Berserker's Call. Once a hero is taunted, Disruptor has a stationary target for a perfect Kinetic Field and Static Storm combination. This layering of control prevents the target, and sometimes their nearby allies, from retaliating with spells or items. The sequence is straightforward and makes punishing an out-of-position enemy very reliable.
The duo's main power spike happens when Axe gets his Blink Dagger, allowing him to follow up on Glimpse from a much greater distance. The threat alone can force the enemy team to play separated, fearing that any hero sent back is a guaranteed kill. However, the whole play hinges on Disruptor landing that initial Glimpse and Axe being ready to follow up. Experienced opponents will anticipate this, playing to bait the spell or using items like a Force Staff to save the Glimpsed ally before Axe can connect, which keeps the combo from completely taking over the game.
