How Batrider and Dark Willow perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Batrider and Dark Willow win 43.70% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 682 matches.
Trying to chain stuns onto a target caught in Flaming Lasso often feels awkward. Dark Willow’s control spells aren't ideal for locking down the specific hero Batrider pulls in. Bramble Maze is hard to land reliably on a target being dragged, and the delay on Cursed Crown means the enemy might be saved before the stun even goes off. Both heroes want to set the tempo of a fight, but in conflicting ways. Batrider wants to create a clean pick-off on one hero, while Willow prefers to create broad chaos with her area-of-effect spells. This fundamental disconnect in their plans can lead to clunky engagements that lack a single, focused objective.
