Setting up an Echo Slam with Chronosphere often proves clunky. Since the dome freezes allies, Earthshaker has to position on the very edge to land his ultimate, which can be difficult in a chaotic fight. This puts a lot of pressure on a single, massive teamfight moment. While a long-range Fissure can also help Faceless Void lock down a single hero, the core identity of the pair is this big ultimate combination. The issue is that both heroes are trying to solve the same problem, and if the enemy plays spread out, the duo lacks other tools to adapt.
This leads to a game plan that's very predictable. Both heroes typically want to farm up for the mid-game, where Earthshaker gets his Blink Dagger and the combo comes online. A single successful fight can absolutely swing the game. The catch is that opponents know this is coming. They will actively avoid grouping, spread the map with pressure, and try to force fights while one of the big ultimates is on cooldown. This can leave the Faceless Void and Earthshaker team feeling reactive and unable to dictate the pace of the game.
