How Dark Willow and Jakiro perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Willow and Jakiro win 46.97% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 396 matches.
Pairing all that magical damage and control sounds like an easy win, but these heroes often get in each other's way. The most obvious clash is Dark Willow using Terrorize, which makes enemies scatter and run right out of Jakiro's Macropyre. You end up saving them from his best spell. Their stuns also have their own delays and are difficult to chain perfectly, often overlapping for wasted duration instead of extending the lockdown. Because they both want to play the same role as slow, back-line casters, the duo lacks mobility and a strong front-line presence, making them vulnerable to being run over in lane and in teamfights.
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.
