How Disruptor and Ember Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Disruptor and Ember Spirit win 50.88% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 7,192 matches.
Setting up a kill with this pair looks straightforward. Disruptor uses Glimpse or Kinetic Field to trap a target, follows up with Static Storm, and creates a perfect area for Ember Spirit to use Sleight of Fist on everyone inside. Ember can then add Searing Chains to keep key targets locked down even longer. This on-paper combination promises a lot of control and mixed damage on anyone caught out of position, forcing them to fight inside the storm without access to their spells or items.
The problem is that both heroes need enemies to be grouped up to be most effective. A spread-out team makes it hard to land a multi-hero Static Storm, and also reduces the chance of Searing Chains rooting multiple targets. Furthermore, Ember Spirit's mobile, in-and-out fighting style doesn't always align with Disruptor's plan to create a fixed battleground. If the initial lockdown doesn't secure a kill, their gameplans can feel disconnected, leaving both heroes exposed.
