How Beastmaster and Primal Beast perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Beastmaster and Primal Beast win 42.43% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 707 matches.
Trying to layer control on one target can be awkward with this duo. Beastmaster's Primal Roar pushes enemies back, which often moves a target out of Primal Beast's Pulverize channel or messes up his Trample pathing. Both heroes also want to be the primary initiator, creating a similar kind of frontline chaos without necessarily complementing each other's kits. While the attack speed from Inner Beast is helpful for Primal Beast, it doesn't quite make up for the potential of their ultimates working against each other. They each create a lot of pressure, but that pressure doesn't always stack together cleanly, leading to fights that feel less coordinated than they should.
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.
