How Beastmaster and Phantom Lancer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Beastmaster and Phantom Lancer win 48.21% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 13,563 matches.
Forcing a fight with Primal Roar often feels awkward for this pair. Beastmaster wants to control the map's tempo early, using his ultimate and summons to secure kills and take towers. This is the exact window when Phantom Lancer is weakest and needs to be farming safely to build up his core items. By the time Phantom Lancer comes online and can overwhelm the enemy with illusions, Beastmaster’s own peak impact has usually passed. While the attack speed from Inner Beast technically helps the illusions, it doesn't solve the core problem: these two heroes simply want to play the game at a completely different pace from one another, leaving your team feeling disjointed.
