How Dark Willow and Dazzle perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Willow and Dazzle win 48.73% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,044 matches.
Trying to burst a target locked down by Dark Willow’s control can feel difficult when Dazzle is nearby. A well-timed Shallow Grave can buy enough time for Willow’s stun to land or for her to finish a target with Bedlam. The main issue is that both heroes are exceptionally fragile and often become the priority targets. If Dazzle gets silenced or initiated on, he can’t save anyone, and Dark Willow dies very quickly if she’s caught out of position. This dependency on perfect positioning and timing from both heroes means the lane can either snowball from a few good saves or fall apart completely if the enemy has a way to get on top of them.
