Thinking you can drop Solar Guardian into every one of Ringmaster's big control spells is the common trap. While it is true that Ringmaster can pin enemies down and give Dawnbreaker a clear landing zone, the coordination can be tricky. If the enemy team has stuns, they can often interrupt one or both heroes. Ringmaster might also need his crowd control for peeling or counter-initiating a fight that Dawnbreaker can't reach in time. The combo provides a way to turn a pick-off into a bigger fight, but it's not an every-fight occurrence.
In a real game, the threat is often more valuable than the execution. Knowing Dawnbreaker can fly in makes enemies hesitant to commit on Ringmaster, giving him space to set up his traps and control key areas. On the flip side, the enemy team will prioritize bursting Ringmaster down or saving a key disable for Dawnbreaker's landing. This creates a specific dynamic around Ringmaster's position on the map, but it doesn't guarantee a fight goes one way or the other, as both sides have clear ways to play around the potential.
