How Bristleback and Naga Siren perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bristleback and Naga Siren win 52.47% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 263 matches.
Thinking that Song of the Siren is only for setting up big magical nukes is a mistake. It actually gives Bristleback the perfect window to get into an ideal spot. He can walk right into the middle of the sleeping enemy team, turn his back, and be ready to unload the instant the song ends. As soon as they wake up, Bristleback is already applying Goo and stacking Quill Sprays. The combined armor reduction from his spells and Naga Siren's own attacks and illusions means that targets melt to physical damage. Naga holds them still, Bristleback runs them over.
