Enigma + Silencer

Why this works

Picking these two heroes together creates a choice about how to control teamfights. Both Enigma and Silencer bring massive, fight-defining ultimates. The obvious play is to use Global Silence to prevent enemies from interrupting the start of Black Hole, giving Enigma a safer window to find his position. This can be effective, but it commits two of the longest cooldowns in the game to a single engagement. Many times, these abilities overlap in function rather than truly amplifying each other, as both serve to disable the entire enemy team.

The success of this pairing comes down to coordination and cooldown management. If the ultimates are used on top of each other, their value is diminished significantly. The duo works best when the players can use their spells to control separate fights or to sequence them perfectly, such as using Global Silence to secure a pick-off that then baits the enemy into a bad fight for a follow-up Black Hole. Without that high level of teamwork, however, Enigma and Silencer often find themselves wanting to press their big red button at the same moment, which doesn't create any more advantage than having only one of them would.
