How Doom and Ember Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Doom and Ember Spirit win 47.49% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 4,858 matches.
Thinking about a long lockdown from Doom to set up a kill for Ember Spirit makes sense on paper. In practice, the two heroes often want different things from a fight. Doom's ultimate is designed to remove a single, high-impact enemy from the equation. Ember Spirit, however, excels at dealing damage to multiple targets with Sleight of Fist and creating chaos with his mobility. He is often more interested in hitting a group of heroes than focusing down the one target Doom has chosen.
This can lead to engagements where they operate on separate tracks. Doom might find a perfect ultimate on an enemy carry, but Ember is already busy pressuring supports on the other side of the teamfight. While they can win engagements through their individual power, they rarely create an advantage that's more than the sum of their parts. The kill on the Doomed target is usually secure, but the pairing doesn't provide special tools to win the rest of the fight.
