How Earth Spirit and Silencer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earth Spirit and Silencer win 50.22% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 6,105 matches.
Getting rolled on by an Earth Spirit is often the start of a difficult sequence. The initial stun provides Silencer the perfect opening to apply Last Word to that same target, creating a chain of control that makes it hard for one hero to cast spells or use escape items. On a larger scale, a well-timed Global Silence can also set up an engagement, giving Earth Spirit a window to find a pick-off anywhere on the map while the enemy team is unable to coordinate a save with their abilities.
This partnership often looks to create pressure in the mid-game. Earth Spirit will try to find initiations, with Silencer ready to follow up or enable a gank with his ultimate. The whole concept hinges on Earth Spirit hitting his spells, however. If he misses his roll or kick, the gank attempt usually fizzles out. Opponents can mitigate this by maintaining good vision to see initiations coming and by playing spread out, especially when Global Silence is on cooldown, which limits the duo's impact.
