How Dark Seer and Magnus perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Seer and Magnus win 48.08% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,972 matches.
Stacking Vacuum on top of a Reverse Polarity is often redundant. Both Dark Seer and Magnus want to be the primary initiator who groups up the enemy team, so having both can mean you’re competing for the same job. This can leave a draft feeling short on other key elements like lockdown or sustained damage. There is some upside, of course. Dark Seer can give Magnus a crucial speed boost with Surge to find a better angle for his ultimate, and Ion Shell is always decent on a hero diving into the enemy team. Fundamentally though, their game plans are too similar, and they frequently want the same farm priority to hit their Blink timings, leading to awkward teamfights.
