How Dazzle and Vengeful Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dazzle and Vengeful Spirit win 58.63% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 747 matches.
Focusing down one of their cores seems like the right play, but it's often a trap. Vengeful Spirit will Nether Swap to save her ally, putting herself in harm's way. Your team piles on her, expecting a quick kill, only for Dazzle to cast Shallow Grave at the last second. Now your team is overextended, hitting an unkillable target, while the rest of their team is repositioning. Vengeful Spirit's Wave of Terror shreds your armor, making everyone vulnerable. Even if Vengeful Spirit does eventually fall, her Vengeance illusion continues the armor reduction, extending the punishment. This setup baits opponents into bad positions and then punishes them for it, turning a simple gank into a lost teamfight.
