How Brewmaster and Venomancer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Brewmaster and Venomancer win 49.23% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,558 matches.
Finishing off enemies affected by Poison Nova can be awkward when Brewmaster's main contribution is Primal Split. While the pandas offer excellent control with stuns and cyclones, they lack the immediate burst damage needed to clean up multiple low-health targets at once. The main Brewmaster hero, who might have better damage items, is unavailable during his ultimate. This can lead to fights where enemies escape on a sliver of health. While Venomancer's constant slows certainly help the pandas stick to their targets, and Cinder Brew offers a minor damage boost, the core teamfight plan can feel disjointed. Both heroes want to control the fight, but neither provides the decisive blow the other one needs.
