How Doom and Drow Ranger perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Doom and Drow Ranger win 43.07% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 9,925 matches.
Picking a frontline for Drow Ranger means finding a hero who can create a safe pocket for her to attack from. Doom doesn't naturally fill this role. His game plan revolves around initiating on a single high-value enemy with his ultimate, which often requires him to go deep into the fight. Drow Ranger needs her team to hold a line and keep enemies far away so her Marksmanship can stay active. While Doom disabling one hero is always useful, it doesn't provide the wide, area-denying presence that protects a backliner from the rest of the enemy team collapsing on her.
Throughout the game, this can lead to disconnected teamfights. Doom will find his target and lock them down, but he's often too far away to help Drow Ranger, who is simultaneously trying to kite multiple other heroes that have gotten past him. She is forced to use her own Gust and Frost Arrows for self-preservation, which is what she would be doing anyway. Because she can't follow up on Doom's deep initiation and he isn't built to peel for her, they end up fighting parallel battles instead of working as a cohesive unit.
