Why this works
Pulling a target back with Flaming Lasso so Storm Spirit can unload sounds like a guaranteed kill. The issue is that both of these heroes are exceptionally greedy and want to do the same job. Batrider and Storm Spirit both need a massive amount of farm and experience to hit their timings and become effective initiators. By trying to occupy the same core role, they often starve each other of resources, leaving one or both too weak to snowball. Even if they get ahead, they both deal primarily magic damage. This makes it very easy for the enemy to itemize against your whole plan with an early Pipe of Insight, shutting down your burst potential before a fight even begins.
