How Brewmaster and Viper perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Brewmaster and Viper win 48.33% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,171 matches.
Setting up a kill with Viper's slows for Brewmaster's spirits seems effective on paper, but the heroes often have conflicting goals in fights. The main problem is that both want to control the tempo from the front line. When Brewmaster uses Primal Split, his goal is to cause mass disruption with cyclones and stuns. This chaos can accidentally save enemies by moving them out of Viper's Nethertoxin or breaking his focus fire. Viper excels at pinning one specific hero down and melting them, while Brewmaster is busy displacing the entire enemy team. Because their big teamfight spells don't cleanly stack or set each other up, the two cores can end up working in parallel rather than together.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
