How Doom and Queen of Pain perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Doom and Queen of Pain win 44.16% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 7,656 matches.
Running two heroes focused on single-target deletion often creates a clash in game plan. Doom wants to isolate and shut down a key enemy with his ultimate, while Queen of Pain wants to blink in and burst a target from full to zero. The problem is that these goals are too similar, and their kits don't really help each other get there. Neither hero provides the AoE control or reliable setup stun that would enable the other's aggression. A target under the effect of Doom is often a guaranteed kill anyway, so adding Queen of Pain's full combo on top can feel redundant.
This dynamic forces a very specific game plan. The duo has to constantly find pickoffs to get ahead, because they struggle in full five-on-five engagements against teams with better crowd control or sustain. If they fall behind, both heroes need a lot of farm to recover and can end up competing for the same safe areas on the map, slowing the whole team down. A smart opponent will group up early, minimizing opportunities for ganks and forcing fights where the pairing's combined single-target focus is much less effective.
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.
