How Axe and Ursa perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Axe and Ursa win 49.49% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 47,050 matches.
Facing a Berserker's Call should be a death sentence, but with Ursa as the follow-up, it can be surprisingly survivable. The core of the problem is target priority. Ursa's damage ramps up massively from hitting a single target repeatedly with Fury Swipes. When Axe successfully taunts multiple heroes, Ursa can easily end up switching targets as they mill around, resetting his stacks and wasting his most effective window. Both heroes also tend to be physical damage cores, making it straightforward for the enemy team to itemize with armor. It's a combination that looks good on paper but often falls apart in the chaos of a real fight.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
