How Bristleback and Centaur Warrunner perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bristleback and Centaur Warrunner win 48.00% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,298 matches.
Forming a front line with these two heroes often creates a redundant core setup. Both Bristleback and Centaur Warrunner want to occupy the same space: soaking damage, being a nuisance, and slowly wearing the enemy down. The issue is a lack of special synergy. Centaur's Hoof Stomp is a fine setup, but Bristleback already has his own slows to keep targets close. While Stampede is a powerful gap-closer for the whole team, the two heroes together can be kited once the initial charge is over. This pairing makes for an exceptionally tanky front line, but it can leave your team short on the burst or control needed to eliminate key backliners.
