How Dawnbreaker and Queen of Pain perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dawnbreaker and Queen of Pain win 47.97% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,209 matches.
Getting jumped by Queen of Pain often feels like the start of a two-hero problem. Her initial burst from Blink and Scream of Pain creates a perfect target for Dawnbreaker to join with Solar Guardian from across the map. This forces you to react to threats from two different angles at once, one of them being global. The combo isn't a guaranteed kill, however. A well-timed stun can cancel Solar Guardian, and mobile heroes can simply walk out of the landing zone. Queen of Pain doesn't offer hard lockdown to keep someone in place for Dawnbreaker's impact, making their ganks very effective against stationary targets but less reliable against heroes who can reposition.
