How Earth Spirit and Lone Druid perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earth Spirit and Lone Druid win 48.31% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 178 matches.
Trying to burst the actual Lone Druid hero is the standard way to deal with him, but it’s hard to pull off when Earth Spirit is around. Earth Spirit makes for a fantastic bodyguard, using Boulder Smash to knock divers away from his squishy partner or rolling in to stun an aggressor. This protection frees up the Lone Druid player to focus on controlling the Spirit Bear for maximum damage in teamfights. On the offensive side of things, Earth Spirit’s initiation is also exactly what the bear needs, holding a target in place long enough for it to connect and secure a kill, often leading directly into taking an objective.
