How Drow Ranger and Warlock perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Drow Ranger and Warlock win 46.63% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 12,336 matches.
Setting up for a big teamfight, Warlock offers a lot of what Drow Ranger wants. A Chaotic Offering Golem stun gives her free hits, and Fatal Bonds makes her Multishot spread immense damage across the enemy team. Following up with a full-channel Upheaval can lock multiple enemies in place, letting Drow's high physical output melt them down from a safe distance. This combination of long-duration control and shared damage can win a fight on its own, but it requires the enemy team to be grouped together and for the spells to land correctly.
The main issue holding this pair back is that both heroes are slow and have no natural escape. Neither Drow Ranger nor Warlock can easily reposition if they get jumped on by mobile heroes. This makes their laning stages and early mid-game very susceptible to ganks. If the enemy team drafts aggressive initiators, they can repeatedly pick off either hero before the big teamfight combination ever comes online. This shared vulnerability often cancels out their late-game teamfight strength, making the duo feel inconsistent from game to game.
