How Centaur Warrunner and Witch Doctor perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Centaur Warrunner and Witch Doctor win 52.44% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 23,272 matches.
Getting hit by a Hoof Stomp can feel dangerous when a Witch Doctor is nearby. Centaur Warrunner provides a reliable stun, which is the basic setup that Maledict and Death Ward need to connect. If Centaur is close enough to use Double Edge as well, the target can melt. The problem is that the stun itself is short. Witch Doctor needs to be in position and ready to go immediately, and any delay can give the target enough time to escape or use a defensive item once the stun wears off. It's a decent pairing, but it requires tight timing.
Throughout a game, the two heroes often find themselves wanting to be in different places. After using Stampede to start a fight, Centaur Warrunner wants to be in the enemy's face, drawing attention and causing chaos. Witch Doctor, on the other hand, needs to find a safe spot in the back to channel his Death Ward without being interrupted. This can make coordinating the combo difficult. Enemies will learn to split up to avoid a big stomp and will try to focus down the vulnerable Witch Doctor, often before his full damage can be done.
