Death Prophet + Hoodwink

Why this works

Trying to take a tower with Exorcism often creates a messy, split-focus fight. Death Prophet needs her team to run in with her, creating chaos so her ghosts can melt everyone. Hoodwink, however, wants to play from a safe distance, waiting for a perfect Bushwhack from the trees or lining up a Sharpshooter on a single target. She offers very little in the way of frontline presence or reliable lockdown to help Death Prophet stick to her targets. While a Silence from DP can be helpful, it doesn't change the fact that these two heroes fundamentally want to fight in opposite ways.

This disconnect makes teamfights feel awkward. Death Prophet frequently ends up overextended, drawing all the attention while Hoodwink is still trying to find her angle from the sidelines. Enemies can often burst the DP down and then turn their attention to Hoodwink. To compensate, the rest of the draft is forced to provide heavy initiation and a solid frontline, which can be a tall order. The opposing team will typically try to split these two heroes up, confident that they can't effectively protect or enable each other when things get scrappy.
