How Death Prophet and Muerta perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Death Prophet and Muerta win 44.83% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,943 matches.
Activating both Exorcism and Pierce the Veil at the same time concentrates your team's damage output into a single type. Both of these ultimates deal magical damage, which makes itemizing against your draft very simple for the enemy team. A single Pipe of Insight or a few Glimmer Capes can blunt the impact of both your cores' biggest spells. Instead of forcing opponents to choose between armor and magic resistance, you let them counter both Death Prophet and Muerta by building the same items, making your teamfights much less effective.
The heroes also operate on conflicting schedules. Death Prophet wants to force fights and take towers with her team as soon as Exorcism is ready. Muerta is a carry who often needs more time and items before she can contribute safely and effectively. She can be pulled into mid-game fights she isn't ready for, weakening her own progression. Furthermore, neither hero provides the reliable lockdown the other needs to guarantee their damage. Without a strong setup from another ally, enemies can often disengage from Exorcism or simply kite Muerta until her ultimate ends.
