How Dark Willow and Outworld Destroyer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Willow and Outworld Destroyer win 50.62% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,566 matches.
Getting locked down by both heroes feels dangerous. Dark Willow can set up kills with Bramble Maze or Cursed Crown, creating a stationary target for Outworld Destroyer to unload Arcane Orbs on. The issue is that their abilities can easily conflict. Outworld Destroyer might accidentally save an enemy by using Astral Imprisonment on the target Dark Willow just cursed, cleansing the effect and wasting the setup. Likewise, her Terrorize can scatter enemies away from OD when he might prefer they stay close. They both bring a lot of control and damage, but since their kits don't directly amplify each other, the result is often less than the sum of its parts.
