How Batrider and Ember Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Batrider and Ember Spirit win 39.07% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 924 matches.
Lassoing a target for Ember Spirit to burst seems like a solid plan, but the heroes' kits can work against each other. The main problem is Batrider's Flamebreak. A poorly timed knockback can easily push the enemy out of Ember's Flame Guard or away from a potential Searing Chains root, ruining the gank. Beyond that, both heroes lean heavily on magic damage in the early and mid-game. This makes it much easier for the enemy team to itemize against your core duo. A single early Pipe of Insight or a few Glimmer Capes can shut down a lot of your combined impact, making it harder to secure the kills you need to snowball.
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.
