How Death Prophet and Juggernaut perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Death Prophet and Juggernaut win 51.42% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 9,100 matches.
Pairing two big "run at them" abilities like Exorcism and Blade Fury seems like an obvious way to win a teamfight. The problem is that both heroes want to be the center of attention and have conflicting goals. Death Prophet wants the enemy team to stay grouped up for a long, grinding fight where her ghosts can wear them down. Juggernaut, on the other hand, wants to isolate a single target for Omnislash or spin on a key support. Without reliable stuns to hold anyone in place, enemies can often split up, making both ultimates less effective than they would be on their own.
In practice, this lane often feels like two solo heroes playing near each other. Death Prophet might activate Exorcism and Juggernaut might use Blade Fury, but the enemy team simply scatters. The silence from DP helps, but doesn't stop people from walking away. This can lead to awkward fights where one hero commits but the other can't find a good target. While Juggernaut's Healing Ward can help sustain a push with Death Prophet, their core teamfight spells simply don't overlap well enough to create a reliable advantage.
