How Ember Spirit and Outworld Destroyer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Ember Spirit and Outworld Destroyer win 47.44% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 5,491 matches.
Putting two high-magic damage cores on the same team sounds strong, but their kits clash badly in fights. Outworld Destroyer uses Astral Imprisonment to set up his own damage, but the banished target is immune to Ember Spirit's Sleight of Fist. This creates constant moments where one hero has to hold their spells while the other acts, preventing them from bursting a single target together. They also occupy a similar space on the map, both wanting to set the tempo from the mid lane with a lot of farm. Having both Ember Spirit and Outworld Destroyer usually means one is starved and playing from an awkward position, which slows down the whole team's momentum.
