How Dark Willow and Gyrocopter perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Willow and Gyrocopter win 32.43% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 185 matches.
Struggling to build momentum often leaves Gyrocopter without the farm needed to come online. Dark Willow provides roots and stuns, but this kind of lockdown doesn't help Gyrocopter close the gap for Rocket Barrage and he can't survive in the front line alone. The real problem is in teamfights, where their abilities clash. Dark Willow's Terrorize scatters the enemy team, which is the opposite of what Gyrocopter wants. He needs enemies grouped up to maximize damage from Call Down and Flak Cannon. This fundamental anti-synergy, combined with both heroes being fragile and easy to burst, makes it very difficult for this pairing to control the game.
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.
