How Axe and Snapfire perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Axe and Snapfire win 48.35% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,419 matches.
Locking down multiple heroes with Berserker's Call gives Snapfire a perfect, stationary target for Mortimer Kisses. This combo alone can win a teamfight. The lockdown from Axe is exactly what a channeled ultimate needs to connect, and the damage from Snapfire ensures that anyone caught in the Call doesn't walk away. Beyond this major power spike, their kits have smaller synergies too. Firesnap Cookie can be used to launch Axe in for a surprise initiation or help him escape after a fight. The armor reduction from Lil' Shredder also makes Axe's spins hit significantly harder, giving the pair reliable kill pressure at almost any point in the game.
