How Axe and Outworld Destroyer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Axe and Outworld Destroyer win 53.41% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,481 matches.
Thinking these two heroes don't have much to do with each other misses the point of their teamfight combo. A successful Berserker's Call from Axe creates the ideal scenario for Outworld Destroyer. With several enemies held in place, OD has a free window to land his full damage sequence, culminating in a multi-hero Sanity's Eclipse that's almost impossible to dodge. Beyond that, Astral Imprisonment is a flexible tool here. It can be used to take a key defensive hero out of the fight right before Axe jumps in, or it can save Axe himself if he gets focused after his Call ends.
