How Dark Seer and Venomancer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Seer and Venomancer win 46.76% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 278 matches.
Picking both Dark Seer and Venomancer usually creates a team that’s missing some key components. The heroes share a similar goal of dealing widespread area damage, but their methods clash. Dark Seer wants to pull everyone together with Vacuum for a big, chaotic fight with Ion Shell and Wall of Replica. Venomancer, however, thrives in longer, kiting engagements where his poisons from abilities like Poison Nova have time to wear enemies down. A good Vacuum combo ends the fight too quickly for the poisons to matter, and Venomancer’s slows don't add much to what Dark Seer is already doing. The result is a team with a lot of area damage over time, but often lacking the lockdown or burst to secure important kills.
