How Brewmaster and Ember Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Brewmaster and Ember Spirit win 50.11% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,377 matches.
Thinking these two set each other up perfectly is a common trap. On paper, Brewmaster's Primal Split provides the lockdown Ember Spirit needs to chain his spells and attacks for a kill. In practice, this combination is often awkward. The cyclone from Brewmaster's storm panda takes a target completely out of the fight, but Ember Spirit can't damage them while they're lifted. This can easily waste Sleight of Fist or prevent a crucial follow-up. Since both heroes rely on a similar timing for their magic damage burst, enemy teams can often counter them both with the same defensive items. This forces a level of coordination that can be difficult to achieve, making their combined impact very inconsistent.
