How Beastmaster and Pudge perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Beastmaster and Pudge win 46.69% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,448 matches.
Thinking about a Primal Roar into a guaranteed Dismember is tempting, but in practice these heroes often want to do the same job. Both Pudge and Beastmaster are single-target initiators who need to find a specific hero to start a fight. This redundancy can split your team's focus if they don't coordinate perfectly on one target. It also means you're putting all your resources into the pickoff basket. If the enemy team groups up or has good defensive supports, a lot of what makes both heroes strong is neutralized. The lineup ends up lacking the broader teamfight control or sustained damage needed to win fights when a simple hook or roar combo isn't available.
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.
