How Dark Willow and Marci perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Willow and Marci win 47.68% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,131 matches.
Setting up kills together is surprisingly awkward. The main problem is that Marci's Dispose throws an enemy behind her, which makes it very difficult for Dark Willow to land her own spells. Trying to aim a Bramble Maze or Cursed Crown on a target that suddenly gets tossed somewhere else often leads to missed abilities and a failed gank. This disconnect carries over into teamfights. Marci wants to dive deep with Rebound, but this doesn't create the kind of locked-down target that helps Willow safely unload her damage from the back lines. Instead, they end up on different pages, unable to combine their abilities effectively.
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.
