How Batrider and Drow Ranger perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Batrider and Drow Ranger win 42.87% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 5,316 matches.
Getting pulled by a Flaming Lasso is bad news, but it's often worse for the Drow Ranger on Batrider's own team. The ideal follow-up to a Lasso is a quick burst kill, but bringing an enemy hero that close to the team shuts down Drow's Marksmanship. Her main source of damage disappears at the exact moment she needs it most. While her Frost Arrows can add to the slow from Sticky Napalm, it doesn't compensate for losing her primary damage steroid during the crucial kill window on the dragged target.
This awkward positioning dynamic creates problems across the game. A successful Batrider initiation relies on his team collapsing on the target. For Drow Ranger, this means either running into a position that disables her ultimate or staying too far back to contribute effectively. The combo can function if Batrider is able to drag a target away from the fight, or if the victim is fragile enough to die instantly, but it often forces Drow to play in a way that goes against her hero's fundamental design and weakens her overall contribution to the fight.
