How Beastmaster and Mars perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Beastmaster and Mars win 41.49% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 94 matches.
Forcing one of these heroes out of the offlane is the core problem. Both Beastmaster and Mars want to be the team's primary initiator, controlling the map from the same lane with the same timings. Drafting both means one hero is automatically playing from behind in a less comfortable role, weakening your whole draft structure. Even if you get to a big teamfight, their ultimates don't have special chemistry. Primal Roar's push can reposition enemies inside the Arena of Blood, but it's often more disruptive than helpful for Mars. You end up with two heroes trying to do the same job instead of enabling each other.
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.
