How Drow Ranger and Puck perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Drow Ranger and Puck win 42.75% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 7,010 matches.
Setting up a teamfight around a Dream Coil can feel a little awkward. Puck provides great control, locking key targets in place, which should be perfect for a hero like Drow Ranger to unload damage. The issue is positioning. Puck is a slippery initiator who lives in the center of the chaos, while Drow needs to keep her distance to maintain Marksmanship. If the fight collapses around Puck, Drow can easily find an enemy too close, shutting down her main damage source. The lockdown Puck offers doesn't always create the clean, static engagement Drow thrives in.
Across the game, this pairing can feel like it's pulling in two different directions. Drow Ranger wants to group with her team and hit objectives from a safe distance, using her slows to kite. Puck wants to hunt for solo pickoffs and create messy skirmishes with quick in-and-out plays. While Puck can certainly set up kills for Drow, the team's overall game plan can become muddled. They might struggle to find a tempo that suits both heroes, with one wanting to play fast while the other prefers a more structured, positional fight.
