How Nature's Prophet and Warlock perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Nature's Prophet and Warlock win 44.90% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 608 matches.
Setting up for a big teamfight with Warlock usually means landing a good Chaotic Offering and getting Fatal Bonds to spread. The goal is to create a large, chaotic zone where enemies take sustained damage over time. Nature's Prophet doesn't really contribute to this plan. His right-click damage is single-target, and while Sprout can be annoying, it isn't the big lockdown or area damage that combos well with Warlock's spells. The two heroes are built for completely different kinds of fights, and their kits have very little overlap.
This strategic clash defines the game. Warlock wants the team grouped to force objectives, creating the five-on-five situations where he shines. At the same time, Nature's Prophet is most effective when he's split-pushing, forcing enemy rotations and creating space. This forces an awkward choice: either Nature's Prophet has to abandon his split-push and Teleport into a fight his hero is ill-equipped for, or Warlock's team is forced to fight a man down. The team ends up pulled in two different directions, unable to commit fully to either hero's preferred strategy.
