Grimstroke + Windranger

Why this works

Facing two heroes linked by Soulbind creates a moment of panic. The obvious follow-up is a Windranger Shackleshot, which can feel like a death sentence. In theory, this guarantees a long-duration stun on two heroes. The problem is execution. Shackleshot is already one of the trickier stuns to land, and Soulbind doesn't always position the targets for an easy latch. The other big combo, Focus Fire on Soulbound targets, sounds great but can be misleading. Windranger often relies on item procs and focused damage to secure a kill. Splitting her ultimate's damage between two heroes can mean neither one dies quickly enough.

This combo hinges entirely on both heroes having their ultimates available at the same time and finding the perfect opportunity. As the game goes on, opponents naturally learn to play spread out against a Grimstroke to avoid a good Soulbind in the first place, making the setup even more difficult. While a perfectly executed Soulbind into Shackleshot can certainly win a teamfight, it's not a reliable plan. The high execution barrier and the awkward interaction with Focus Fire mean that for every fight they win, there's another where the combo fizzles and both ultimates are wasted.
