How Doom and Phoenix perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Doom and Phoenix win 48.90% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,104 matches.
Fighting into this combination presents a difficult choice. The core problem is that both Doom and Supernova are massive, fight-defining ultimates that don't layer on top of each other very well. Doom's purpose is to completely remove one enemy hero from the equation. Phoenix wants to disrupt the entire enemy team with Fire Spirits and then use Supernova for a potential reset and stun. The single-target lockdown from Doom doesn't do much to protect the egg, and the area stun from a successful egg doesn't matter for the hero who is already Doomed.
In practice, this leads to awkward teamfights where resources are used inefficiently. Often, Doom will find his target, but the rest of the enemy team is still free to turn and destroy the Supernova. This can leave your team with your two longest cooldowns spent for a single kill while the rest of the fight is lost. For the pairing to work, Doom has to catch a key hero while the rest of his team positions perfectly to defend Phoenix. This requires a level of coordination that is difficult to execute consistently, making their combined impact unreliable.
