How Batrider and Slardar perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.

Pulling a target back with Flaming Lasso should be a guaranteed kill, but the follow-up can feel awkward with this pair. A significant part of Batrider's burst during the drag is magical from Firefly and Sticky Napalm stacks. Slardar's Corrosive Haze, however, only reduces armor for physical attacks. This means his main contribution to the initial burst is wasted. Both heroes also want to be the primary initiator with a Blink Dagger, leading to some redundancy in how they want to start a fight. While they can still chain their disables on a single hero, the core damage types don't line up, making other duos often more efficient at securing those crucial mid-game pick-offs.
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.
