Why this works
Trying to burst down a target in Flaming Lasso reveals the problem with this pair. Batrider pulls a key enemy in, but Viper's follow-up is more of the same: magic damage over time and slows. While stacking effects like Nethertoxin and Sticky Napalm can melt a single hero, it gives the enemy team a long time to react with saves. The bigger issue is that both heroes fill a similar niche. An enemy team can itemize with a single Pipe of Insight or a few Black King Bars to shut down a huge portion of your team's damage. The duo lacks physical burst or hard stuns, making the overall game plan predictable and easy to counter.
