How Earth Spirit and Warlock perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earth Spirit and Warlock win 50.90% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,906 matches.
Deciding to pair Warlock and Earth Spirit usually hinges on whether the rest of your team can convert long-duration control into kills. Earth Spirit provides the initial lockdown, rolling in or kicking a target to set up for Warlock's spells. A well-placed Boulder Smash can group enemies perfectly for a Fatal Bonds cast, amplifying damage across their whole team. This stun also gives Warlock the space he needs to drop Chaotic Offering without being interrupted. The coordination has to be precise, though. The duo itself lacks high immediate burst, so they rely entirely on other teammates to follow up on the setup they provide. If the rest of the draft can't supply that damage, the advantage can fade.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
