How Ember Spirit and Storm Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Ember Spirit and Storm Spirit win 42.09% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,500 matches.
Fighting for the same pockets of farm after the laning stage makes things difficult. Both Ember Spirit and Storm Spirit are tempo cores who need a ton of gold and solo experience to hit their power spikes. When they share a team, they're often competing for the same active parts of the map, which can leave one or both of them under-leveled and under-farmed. Their damage types also overlap significantly. This makes it easy for opponents to itemize against them with magic resistance, severely weakening the mid-game burst potential from both heroes. The lineup ends up with two cores who want to do the same job, but neither gets the resources to do it properly.
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.
