How Death Prophet and Drow Ranger perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Death Prophet and Drow Ranger win 44.67% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 7,538 matches.
Facing this pair's sustained damage can feel oppressive. Drow Ranger’s Frost Arrows provide a constant slow, which helps a Death Prophet stick to targets for Spirit Siphon and chase them down with Exorcism. With Drow standing far back providing cover fire and a knockback from Gust, Death Prophet has an easier time surviving in the middle of the fight. A well-timed silence from each hero can also shut down slippery targets for an extended duration, leaving them helpless as their health melts away from two different sources of damage.
The plan often falls apart against teams that can dive the backline. This lane has no hard stuns to stop an initiator from blinking past Death Prophet and getting on top of Drow Ranger. Once an enemy is close, Drow loses her Marksmanship damage and is extremely fragile. Death Prophet wants to be running at the enemy team creating chaos, which naturally draws her away from her own backline. She has no reliable way to turn around and peel for Drow, meaning a coordinated enemy team can often split them up and nullify their damage potential.
