How Beastmaster and Windranger perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Beastmaster and Windranger win 43.39% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 4,605 matches.
Pairing Primal Roar with a follow-up Shackleshot for Focus Fire looks like a guaranteed kill on paper. The problem is that both heroes commit their biggest spells to kill one target, and the chain itself can be fragile. If Windranger can’t find the right angle for her stun, or if the target gets a Force Staff or Glimmer Cape from a teammate, the whole attempt fails. Committing two long cooldown ultimates for a single pickoff that can be easily foiled leaves the team with very few options if the gank goes wrong.
This duo can find some success in the early-to-mid game against disorganized opponents. But once teams start grouping and playing around vision and saves, their effectiveness plummets. Beastmaster wants to command his summons and push down objectives as a unit, applying constant pressure. Windranger, however, prefers to play on the fringes of fights, looking for an opportunistic kill. They end up with conflicting goals and offer redundant single-target lockdown, which often isn't enough to win crucial teamfights.
