How Doom and Necrophos perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Doom and Necrophos win 45.63% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,006 matches.
Picking both Doom and Necrophos for the same draft often creates a problem of redundancy. The core gameplan for both heroes revolves around removing a single enemy from a fight with a long-cooldown ultimate. Doom’s goal is to disable a key target entirely, while Necrophos wants to execute a low-health enemy with Reaper's Scythe. When they overlap on the same target, one of these powerful spells is effectively wasted. They don’t enable each other in a meaningful way; instead, they compete to fill the same role in a teamfight. This leaves the outcome of the game more dependent on the other heroes in the draft rather than any inherent strength between this pair.
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.
