How Brewmaster and Witch Doctor perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Brewmaster and Witch Doctor win 49.62% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 522 matches.
Landing a full Death Ward is the whole game for this duo. When Brewmaster uses Primal Split, the fight becomes so chaotic that Witch Doctor can usually find a safe spot to channel. The Earth panda’s stun holds a key target down, and the Storm panda can cyclone another hero to remove a potential interrupt. Even before ults are online, the slows from Cinder Brew and Thunder Clap combine well with Paralyzing Cask for ganks. It's not a combination you see every day, so there could be something I'm missing.
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.
