How Dazzle and Outworld Destroyer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dazzle and Outworld Destroyer win 52.28% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,940 matches.
Keeping Outworld Destroyer alive with Shallow Grave sounds good on paper, as it gives him more time to ramp up damage with Arcane Orb. The main issue is that the pair offers almost no lockdown to actually control a fight. Dazzle provides a slow, but enemies can often kite or simply walk away from Outworld Destroyer until Grave expires. This forces the duo into a purely reactive role. Additionally, their defensive abilities can sometimes work against each other; an ally saved by Astral Imprisonment is taken out of the fight, which might not be what Dazzle intended when trying to keep them fighting with his own saves and heals.
