How Grimstroke and Outworld Destroyer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Grimstroke and Outworld Destroyer win 50.08% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 4,121 matches.
Hitting a two-hero Soulbind seems like a perfect setup for Outworld Destroyer, but the follow-up isn't a guaranteed fight winner. Sanity's Eclipse damages each hero based on their own mana, so it rarely kills both targets unless they are already very weak; one often survives the initial burst. Outside of their ultimates, their kits can feel disconnected. Outworld Destroyer might use Astral Imprisonment on a key target that an allied Ink Swell is about to hit, saving them by accident. Since Grimstroke wants to lock down and disable groups while OD prefers to isolate and eliminate single targets, their teamfight plans don't always align, leading to mixed results.
