How Axe and Warlock perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Axe and Warlock win 51.89% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,669 matches.
Landing a big Berserker's Call gives Warlock an easy, game-winning Chaotic Offering. The combo is so effective because it removes any guesswork; the targets are locked in place for the stun and the Golem. If Warlock can cast Fatal Bonds on the clump before Axe jumps in, the follow-up damage from everyone becomes immense, and Axe's own spins will tear through the linked heroes. This gives the team a simple, powerful blueprint for taking objectives and winning mid-game teamfights. Later, Upheaval can hold survivors in place for Axe to finish off, making escapes very difficult.
