How Enigma and Slardar perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Enigma and Slardar win 50.62% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,649 matches.
Facing down a Blink initiation from Slardar can feel especially dangerous when an Enigma is on his team. A good Slithereen Crush provides an easy setup for Black Hole, and Corrosive Haze on the primary target means they melt to follow-up damage from everyone else. This combination of lockdown and armor reduction can end a fight before it starts. The main problem is that both heroes often want to do the same job. They both rely on landing a big spell after blinking in, which can make their game plan a bit one-dimensional. If the enemy team has good counter-initiation or saves, they can sometimes shut down both heroes' big plays at once, leaving the team without a backup plan.
