How Dark Willow and Meepo perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Willow and Meepo win 57.93% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 145 matches.
Facing a gank from this pair can be incredibly frustrating. Dark Willow's Cursed Crown offers a clear, timed setup for a multi-Meepo Poof burst that can delete almost anyone. Following that with Bramble Maze can lock down a whole area, letting the Meepos run wild. However, this combo puts two very fragile heroes on the front line together. If the initial burst fails to secure a kill, they can both get turned on and blown up instantly. Meepo is also largely self-sufficient, able to chain-net targets on his own without needing a dedicated setup. So while Dark Willow enables some clean kills, she doesn't solve any of Meepo's core problems.
