How Centaur Warrunner and Necrophos perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Centaur Warrunner and Necrophos win 50.73% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,512 matches.
Running at the enemy team with Stampede helps Necrophos solve his main problem: getting kited. Centaur Warrunner provides the mobility and lockdown for a hero that has to walk at people to be effective. A Hoof Stomp can hold a key target in place, making it simpler for Necrophos to land his spells and set up a Reaper's Scythe. Together, they create a reliable method for picking a target and sticking to them, turning Centaur's initiation into a sustained offensive threat.
This duo forms a durable front line that wants to group up and fight in the mid-game. Centaur soaks the initial damage, which gives Necrophos the time he needs to wear enemies down with his aura. The usual response from opponents is to either try to burst one of them down before the other can react, or to split up and avoid the long, grinding teamfight altogether. The success of the pairing hinges on Centaur creating chaos and Necrophos having the space to take advantage of it.
