How Death Prophet and Lifestealer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Death Prophet and Lifestealer win 53.96% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 682 matches.
Running into the enemy team with Exorcism active provides a great delivery system for a Lifestealer hiding with Infest. Death Prophet appreciates having a frontline partner who can initiate with her, and her Silence helps Lifestealer connect to targets without being disabled by spells during his Rage downtime. The slows from Spirit Siphon and Open Wounds also stack up to make kiting difficult. The main weakness is a lack of hard lockdown. Without a reliable stun from either hero, slippery targets can still escape, leaving the duo's success heavily reliant on what other heroes are brought to the fight.
