How Axe and Magnus perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Axe and Magnus win 47.34% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,255 matches.
Pulling enemies into a Berserker's Call with Reverse Polarity sounds like a perfect setup, but it's often a case of two heroes trying to do the same job. Axe wants to jump a key target and start a chaotic fight, while Magnus is looking for that perfect multi-hero setup. This means one of them usually ends up holding their big ultimate, waiting for an opportunity the other one already took. The cleave from Empower is nice for Axe, but it doesn't solve the core problem of their initiations clashing. To be fair, this pair hasn't been tried much lately.
