How Ember Spirit and Visage perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ember Spirit and Visage win 51.69% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 946 matches.
The theory is that Visage's Familiar stuns create a perfect setup for Ember Spirit's Searing Chains, but their pacing often doesn't align. Ember wants to play a fast, in-and-out game, using Fire Remnants to find quick pickoffs or weave through teamfights. Visage, on the other hand, is a much slower hero who needs to methodically position himself and his birds to deliver their burst. This can lead to situations where one hero is ready to go while the other is still getting into place. While the Grave Chill slow definitely helps Ember stick to a target, the core game plans of these two heroes don't naturally overlap, making their coordination feel pretty neutral.
