Doom + Undying

Why this works

Drafting both Doom and Undying together often feels like you're trying to win the fight with the same strategy twice. Both heroes excel at being durable frontliners who grind down the enemy team in a long brawl. The core idea seems solid: Doom's ultimate isolates and removes one hero, while Undying's Tombstone overwhelms the rest. In practice, their game plans don't directly amplify each other. A Doomed target is already neutralized, so having Tombstone zombies wail on them is often redundant. Meanwhile, the rest of the enemy team can focus their attention on destroying the Tombstone, knowing Doom is occupied with his single target.

This pairing can be quite strong in the laning stage, where Scorched Earth and Decay create immense pressure. As the game progresses, however, their impact becomes conditional. The duo relies on the enemy team staying grouped up and unable to deal with the Tombstone quickly. If the enemy has good mobility or high physical damage, they can split the fight, kite Undying, and burst down his zombies before Doom's pressure on his own target translates into a won teamfight. Success requires both heroes to perfectly execute their separate plans at the same time, which isn't always a reliable path to victory.
