How Bristleback and Meepo perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bristleback and Meepo win 55.81% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 215 matches.
Dealing with both Bristleback and Meepo at the same time creates a serious problem for the enemy team. You have to commit multiple heroes and spells to burst down a single Meepo, but while that’s happening, Bristleback is free to run at your backline, building up massive Quill Spray damage. If the fight turns and you try to focus Bristleback instead, the Meepo clones lock everyone down with Earthbind, preventing anyone from kiting or escaping. There is no good primary target. Both heroes demand an immediate answer and punish you heavily for focusing the other, which often splits the enemy's attention and lets this duo take control of teamfights.
