How Axe and Ogre Magi perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Axe and Ogre Magi win 52.50% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,598 matches.
Catching multiple heroes in a Berserker's Call feels even better when Ogre Magi is around. Bloodlust gives Axe the massive attack speed boost needed to tear through everyone he's taunting, often securing kills before the taunt even ends. The synergy starts well before that, with Ignite's slow making it easy for Axe to find a good initiation. If anyone survives the initial jump, Ogre Magi provides follow-up stuns to keep them pinned down for Culling Blade. This combination of setup, burst damage during Axe's lockdown, and follow-up control makes it incredibly difficult for enemies to survive engagements at any stage of the game.
