How Dazzle and Nature's Prophet perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dazzle and Nature's Prophet win 44.63% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 419 matches.
Picking these two heroes together creates a fundamental conflict in strategy. Dazzle's kit is designed to sustain his team through grouped-up, prolonged fights. Abilities like Shadow Wave and Shallow Grave are strongest when allies are close and taking damage together. Nature's Prophet, however, wins by doing the opposite. He uses Teleportation to be everywhere on the map except with his team, creating split-push pressure and forcing reactions. This leaves Dazzle protecting a group that is missing a key player, while Nature's Prophet is too far away to benefit from any saves.
The mid-game often feels disjointed as a result. While Dazzle's team tries to group for an objective, Nature's Prophet is typically pressuring a different lane. If the enemy team forces a fight on the main group, they are effectively fighting into an advantage. If they instead go and kill the isolated Prophet, Dazzle is on the wrong side of the map to offer any help. Both heroes are trying to execute their own valid game plans, but those plans rarely overlap, leading to a team that feels like it's playing two different games at once.
