How Bristleback and Jakiro perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bristleback and Jakiro win 46.70% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,045 matches.
Facing this duo rarely feels threatening for mobile heroes. Bristleback wants to run at targets and stack his spells, but Jakiro doesn’t offer the hard lockdown to make that stick. An opponent can often walk out of Macropyre or dodge the delayed Ice Path stun, leaving Bristleback kited and unable to build up significant Warpath stacks. Both heroes apply slows and damage over time, but they lack the tools to hold a slippery target in place and secure a kill. This gives the enemy team control over the engagement, allowing them to disengage from both Bristleback and Jakiro before their sustained damage becomes a real problem.
