How Chen and Ogre Magi perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chen and Ogre Magi win 45.62% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 640 matches.
Giving Bloodlust to one of Chen's dominated creeps seems like an obvious plan, but the reality is often more complicated. Ogre Magi wants to be on the front line, soaking damage and stunning key targets. Chen typically plays further back, directing his army and positioning for a Hand of God to save his team. This means Ogre frequently has a better target for his buff, like a carry who is diving with him. While the two can help secure objectives together with their combined push, their core teamfight instincts can pull them in different directions, leading to a pairing that feels less coordinated in practice than it does on paper.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
