How Dark Willow and Treant Protector perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Willow and Treant Protector win 49.34% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,893 matches.
Struggling for map control is a common outcome for this duo, as both heroes need significant farm and experience to come online. Dark Willow is quite greedy for a support, relying on items for damage, while Treant Protector needs levels for his abilities to have a major impact. This puts a strain on the rest of the team. While Treant's Overgrowth provides a great setup for Willow's burst damage, the pair offers very little afterwards. They can't effectively push out lanes or threaten towers on their own, which often forces your team into a defensive posture and allows the enemy to dictate the pace of the game.
