How Crystal Maiden and Death Prophet perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Crystal Maiden and Death Prophet win 53.63% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 688 matches.
Laning with Crystal Maiden feels decent for a Death Prophet. The root from Frostbite gives you a free Crypt Swarm, and Arcane Aura helps sustain early spell spamming. The problem comes later when teamfights break out. Death Prophet wants to activate Exorcism and run at the enemy team, drawing fire and creating chaos. At the same time, Crystal Maiden is looking for a safe spot in the backline to channel her own ultimate, Freezing Field. They don't actively hurt each other's plans, but they don't directly enable them either. One hero runs in while the other stays out, making for a disconnected fight that can go either way.
