How Nature's Prophet and Magnus perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Nature's Prophet and Magnus win 42.96% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,122 matches.
Catching several heroes in a Reverse Polarity often decides a fight, but the follow-up from Nature's Prophet is underwhelming. Magnus wants a melee core who can maximize the cleave and bonus damage from Empower, turning his ultimate into a team wipe. Nature's Prophet is a ranged hero who gets no cleave and can't stand in the middle of the fight to deliver the necessary damage. While Sprout can offer some control, it can also block your own melee teammates from reaching the stunned targets, making the situation even more awkward.
This conflict in design forces the team to play a divided game. Magnus wants to group up and pressure objectives, looking for that perfect five-man fight. Nature's Prophet is at his best when he's split-pushing, forcing enemy rotations and using Teleport to join fights on his own terms. This means either Magnus is fighting without a key damage source, or Nature's Prophet is forced to abandon his global pressure game to play a role he isn't built for. The lineup simply struggles to find a cohesive strategy that uses both heroes effectively.
