How Beastmaster and Lifestealer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Beastmaster and Lifestealer win 44.61% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 473 matches.
Trying to set the pace of the game with this duo can be difficult. Beastmaster hits his first major power spike with his summons and Primal Roar, wanting to immediately group up and pressure objectives across the map. Lifestealer, however, typically needs more time to farm a key item or two before he can join these fights effectively. This creates a clash in timings. The team is forced to either fight before Lifestealer is ready or delay pushes and cede momentum, letting Beastmaster's peak fall off. Even with Lifestealer using Infest on a controlled creep for a gank, it doesn't overcome this fundamental mismatch in their preferred game plan.
