How Gyrocopter and Ogre Magi perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Gyrocopter and Ogre Magi win 46.67% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 705 matches.
Picking this lane duo means accepting a fundamental mismatch in positioning from the very first wave. Ogre Magi is a melee hero who wants to trade hits and run at people, which pulls the creep wave and often puts Gyrocopter in a dangerous spot. While Bloodlust offers a nice boost to Flak Cannon, it doesn't solve the core issue: Gyrocopter is fragile and needs defensive support. Ogre Magi's kit lacks the tools to reliably peel enemies off his carry; a single stun is rarely enough to save Gyrocopter from a coordinated gank, leaving him feeling exposed.
This problem gets worse as the game progresses. Gyrocopter relies on staying at a safe range during teamfights, using Call Down and his rockets to deal damage. Ogre Magi’s instincts are to be in the middle of the fray, looking for multi-hero Ignites and stuns. This leaves Gyrocopter without a dedicated protector when enemies dive the back line. The two heroes want to play fights from completely different positions, which often leaves the team feeling disjointed and the Gyrocopter dead before he can have an impact.
