How Earthshaker and Morphling perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earthshaker and Morphling win 48.73% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 7,611 matches.
Chaining stuns together is the main idea behind this pairing. Earthshaker can land a Fissure from long range, giving Morphling a clear window to Waveform in and unload his full damage combo on the trapped target. This provides the lockdown Morphling needs to secure kills, especially during the mid-game when he's looking for pickoffs to accelerate his farm. The setup is straightforward and can be effective for deleting a single hero who is caught out of position.
However, the game plan can feel a bit one-dimensional. Both heroes commit major cooldowns for these ganks, and if the target is saved or survives the initial burst, the follow-up is limited. In larger teamfights, their priorities can diverge. Earthshaker is looking for a multi-hero setup for a big Echo Slam, while Morphling is often focused on finding and eliminating a single key backliner. This lack of a cohesive five-on-five strategy means that while their ganking potential is decent, it doesn't always translate into winning the crucial late-game teamfights.
