How Crystal Maiden and Outworld Destroyer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Crystal Maiden and Outworld Destroyer win 53.63% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 9,405 matches.
Protecting a channeling Crystal Maiden is often a difficult task, but Outworld Destroyer has a perfect tool for it. Astral Imprisonment can save her from a stun or burst damage, letting Freezing Field continue to do its work while she's invulnerable. On top of that, Crystal Maiden’s Arcane Aura provides a constant stream of mana. This allows Outworld Destroyer to be much more liberal with Arcane Orb for both farming and fighting, without having to constantly manage his own resources.
The success of this pairing relies heavily on positioning and the enemy draft. Both heroes are slow, lack mobility, and are vulnerable to being jumped on and burst down. If the enemy team has a lot of lockdown or gap-close, they can easily pick off either hero before the combo can be executed. The plan's effectiveness often comes down to whether Outworld Destroyer gets a strong start in his own lane and if the team can provide the vision and protection needed to let them operate safely in fights.
