How Brewmaster and Primal Beast perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Brewmaster and Primal Beast win 51.72% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 377 matches.
Coordinating a big teamfight often reveals the awkwardness in this pairing. Both Brewmaster and Primal Beast want to be the primary initiator, creating space and disruption. However, their ultimates don't have a clean, natural follow-up for one another. Primal Beast might use Pulverize to hold one enemy in place, but Brewmaster's Primal Split is designed to cause widespread chaos, often isolating a different target with the Storm Panda's Cyclone. This can result in two separate initiations happening at once rather than a focused takedown. While having two durable frontliners is never bad, their core plans can diverge mid-fight, leading to a lack of focus and inefficient use of their powerful spells.
