How Dark Willow and Morphling perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Willow and Morphling win 46.16% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,617 matches.
Playing against this pair rarely feels overwhelming because the setup for a kill is often telegraphed. Dark Willow's Cursed Crown gives a clear warning before its stun lands, which is usually enough time for a target to use a defensive spell or for their team to react. Morphling needs immediate, reliable lockdown to secure a solo kill with his physical burst, and Willow’s delayed or soft disables don't provide that. He's often forced to commit into a fight where his target can still cast spells or escape. Without a clean setup, Morphling can't snowball effectively, and the duo struggles to find the pickoffs they need to get ahead.
