How Crystal Maiden and Ringmaster perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Crystal Maiden and Ringmaster win 50.77% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 4,095 matches.
Pairing Crystal Maiden and Ringmaster together creates a delicate, high-risk lane. Their control spells can chain together well; Ringmaster can pull an enemy into a waiting Frostbite or group them for a full Freezing Field. Arcane Aura also lets Ringmaster use his own abilities more often. The main problem is that both heroes are slow and fragile targets. Against any aggressive lane that can close the gap, they tend to fall over before they can get their spells off. This makes the lane's success hinge on whether you can get the jump on your opponents, because if the fight comes to you, both heroes are likely to die.
