Why this works
Farming the same side of the map can feel crowded with this lineup. Both Bristleback and Mars function as tanky, space-creating cores who need items to hit their timings, often leading to competition for resources. The teamfight plan can also be disjointed; Arena of Blood holds enemies in place, which is awkward for a Bristleback who wants to be chased to stack Quill Spray. Their kits simply don't build on each other in a direct way.
