How Batrider and Phantom Lancer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Batrider and Phantom Lancer win 43.27% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 208 matches.
It might seem like these heroes would have conflicting goals. Batrider wants to force mid-game fights while Phantom Lancer is still farming, and once he’s online, the chaos from his illusions can make finding the right Lasso target tricky. In practice, though, their needs balance out. A successful Flaming Lasso provides an ideal, isolated target for Phantom Lancer's army to swarm, and Sticky Napalm makes every illusion hit harder. In return, Batrider’s constant threat of a pickoff can create the space Phantom Lancer needs to farm safely. It’s a partnership that doesn’t always line up perfectly, but one hero's strengths often cover for the other's current weakness.
