How Dark Seer and Omniknight perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Seer and Omniknight win 49.11% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 786 matches.
Putting an Ion Shell on Omniknight and having him run at the enemy seems like an obvious plan, but it often falls flat. Omniknight isn't a natural front-liner; he prefers to play defensively, staying near his carries to provide heals and dispels. This makes it difficult for him to be an effective Ion Shell carrier without being played out of position. The rest of their kits don't overlap particularly well either. Dark Seer wants to pull everyone together with Vacuum and Wall of Replica, creating chaos. Omniknight, however, excels at single-target saves and doesn't provide the lockdown needed to capitalize on a big setup, leading to a teamfight plan that can feel disconnected.
