How Grimstroke and Morphling perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Grimstroke and Morphling win 48.45% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,418 matches.
Pairing Grimstroke with Morphling seems straightforward; Soulbind should let a high-agility Morphling blow up two heroes with a double Adaptive Strike. The reality is much clunkier. The knockback from Adaptive Strike often pushes the second Soulbind target out of attack range, splitting Morphling’s focus and wasting precious seconds of the leash. Morphling’s damage isn't instant, and Soulbind doesn't last long enough for him to comfortably kill two heroes who are trying to run in opposite directions. While Grimstroke can offer some early laning help with Stroke of Fate, his ultimate doesn't provide the simple, reliable lockdown that Morphling needs to safely deal his damage, making the pair feel surprisingly ineffective together.
