How Dazzle and Earth Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dazzle and Earth Spirit win 53.56% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,952 matches.
Trying to focus down an initiating Earth Spirit gets more complicated when Dazzle is backing him up. A well-timed Shallow Grave can give Earth Spirit the extra few seconds needed to land his stuns and silence before having to retreat. This allows for slightly more aggressive engagements, as Earth Spirit knows a potential save is available. After he rolls out, Dazzle’s heals can help him recover, preparing him for the next teamfight sooner. The whole sequence relies on good positioning and reactions from the Dazzle player, but it makes punishing Earth Spirit’s aggressive plays a little tougher.
