How Dark Seer and Pugna perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Seer and Pugna win 55.77% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 156 matches.
Fighting into this duo can feel messy. A good Vacuum from Dark Seer can pull enemies together for Pugna to land a big Nether Blast or punish them with his Nether Ward. Surge also provides Pugna with the mobility he needs to get a full Life Drain off or to simply reposition safely. The problem is that their abilities can conflict. If Pugna uses Decrepify to amplify his magic damage on a target, he also makes them immune to physical attacks, which means any illusions from Dark Seer's Wall of Replica hitting that same target do no damage. This requires a level of coordination that makes their combined impact inconsistent.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
