How Death Prophet and Phoenix perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Death Prophet and Phoenix win 54.64% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 194 matches.
Casting Exorcism during a big teamfight feels awkward when Phoenix has already used Supernova. Death Prophet's whole plan is to run at the enemy team, using Spirit Siphon to stay alive while her ghosts wear them down. The Supernova, however, creates a fixed point on the map that needs to be defended. This forces a difficult choice on Death Prophet: either she abandons the egg to chase enemies and maximize her own ultimate, or she stays back to help protect Phoenix and wastes her momentum. Their damage profiles are both sustained rather than bursty, and they don't bring enough lockdown to force enemies to stand still and die to either ultimate.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
