How Dark Willow and Terrorblade perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Willow and Terrorblade win 48.07% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,120 matches.
Building a team around both Dark Willow and Terrorblade creates a tempo problem. Terrorblade is a carry who needs a safe lane and time to come online, often preferring a support who provides strong defensive saves. While Dark Willow offers control with Cursed Crown and Bramble Maze, she can't offer the direct protection needed to survive heavy magic burst before a key Sunder. She's a fragile, aggressive hero who wants to make plays around the map. In fights, her close-range Bedlam damage puts her in a dangerous spot, often separate from where Terrorblade wants to be hitting. Their ideal game plans rarely overlap, leading to awkward timings and poor teamfight coordination.
