How Drow Ranger and Necrophos perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Drow Ranger and Necrophos win 47.40% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,726 matches.
Pushing high ground or contesting Roshan feels much more secure with this duo. Necrophos is an ideal frontline for Drow Ranger, able to absorb attention and keep the team alive with Death Pulse while his Heartstopper Aura drains the enemy's health. This creates a perfect zone for Drow to stand in the back and deal immense physical damage. Her Frost Arrows prevent anyone from escaping the aura or reaching her, and Gust can stop initiation cold. If an enemy hero somehow survives Drow's initial barrage, a Reaper's Scythe guarantees they won't get a chance to retreat and heal, which often secures the fight and the objective that follows.
