How Death Prophet and Ember Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Death Prophet and Ember Spirit win 48.07% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,943 matches.
Pairing two powerful magic damage cores seems strong on paper, but their fight plans actively work against each other. Death Prophet wants to start a committed brawl, popping Exorcism and forcing the enemy to deal with her in one spot for a long duration. Ember Spirit, however, wants to play on the edges of the fight, using Sleight of Fist to deal damage from a safe distance and Fire Remnants to escape any commitment. When DP plants herself, Ember is usually kiting far away. When Ember finds a pick-off, DP is too slow to follow up. They end up splitting the enemy's attention without being able to focus their damage together.
