How Earth Spirit and Mars perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earth Spirit and Mars win 45.43% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 328 matches.
Setting up the perfect Arena of Blood often feels wasted with an Earth Spirit on the team. Mars wants to keep enemies trapped inside that small space so he can reliably pin them to the walls with his Spear. The problem is that Earth Spirit's whole kit revolves around forced movement. A well-intentioned Boulder Smash can easily knock a key target out of the Arena to safety, completely ruining the big ultimate. Even when trying to help, his abilities create chaos where Mars needs control. This core conflict means they often step on each other's toes during teamfights, making it hard to execute a clean initiation together.
