How Batrider and Lifestealer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Batrider and Lifestealer win 36.57% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 216 matches.
Using Infest on an allied Batrider gives Lifestealer a solid way to join a gank. After Batrider catches an enemy with Flaming Lasso, Lifestealer can emerge on top of the dragged target to immediately apply his slows and damage. The added burst makes it much more difficult for that hero to escape or be saved once the pull ends. This gives the team a reliable plan for securing pickoffs, especially in the mid-game when both heroes have their key abilities online. Batrider finds the target and locks them down, and Lifestealer provides the physical follow-up needed to finish the job.
