How Earth Spirit and Ringmaster perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earth Spirit and Ringmaster win 48.21% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,862 matches.
Lining up a gank can feel a bit redundant. Earth Spirit can roll in and kick an enemy back for a reliable stun, which is often enough to get the job done with a little follow-up. Ringmaster brings his own set of traps and crowd control to the table, but landing both on the same target can feel like overkill, especially early on. Because their initiation tools overlap without adding a new dimension, one hero’s setup can feel wasted. This means the combo isn’t necessarily weak, but it rarely feels stronger than what either Earth Spirit or Ringmaster could accomplish with a different partner.
