How Bounty Hunter and Dark Willow perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bounty Hunter and Dark Willow win 49.90% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,094 matches.
Trying to coordinate a gank can feel a bit awkward with this pair. While Bounty Hunter’s Track provides the vision and gold advantage to set up a play, the follow-up isn't always clean. Dark Willow often needs time for spells like Cursed Crown to land, and the initial slow from a Shadow Walk attack might not be enough to guarantee it. Their combined damage is also split between physical and magical, which doesn't create a strong burst synergy. They both excel at punishing single, out-of-position targets, but offer little when the enemy team groups up. This can leave your team feeling fragile and without a clear plan for winning a full five-on-five teamfight.
