How Faceless Void and Necrophos perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Faceless Void and Necrophos win 45.81% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,113 matches.
Drafting saves or defensive cores against this pair often feels hopeless. Faceless Void provides the ultimate setup with Chronosphere, completely locking down a priority target so they can't use items or abilities to survive. This gives Necrophos a free window to walk in and land a guaranteed Reaper's Scythe. While the target is frozen, Heartstopper Aura also does its work, softening them up and making the Scythe lethal that much sooner. The combination offers a simple, brutal, and repeatable way to delete one hero from the map, which usually decides the following teamfight before it even begins.
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.
