How Earthshaker and Invoker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earthshaker and Invoker win 49.71% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 27,698 matches.
Setting up a Fissure from the fog for a Sun Strike kill is the classic play for this duo. When it connects, it can be a guaranteed kill. The issue is execution; Sun Strike's delay can give opponents a brief window to escape if the Fissure placement isn't perfect. For other combos like Meteor, Invoker often prefers his own Tornado to group enemies and keep them suspended. This means Earthshaker’s stun can sometimes feel redundant, providing lockdown that Invoker could already create for himself.
This pairing often finds its best moments picking off isolated heroes in the early to mid-game. As teamfights get larger, their objectives can diverge. Earthshaker is looking for a multi-hero Echo Slam, while Invoker is trying to land a big combo of his own. They can end up waiting for the other to initiate, or worse, a poorly placed Fissure can completely block Invoker's spells. Their overall success hinges on a level of coordination that can be difficult to find consistently.
