How Gyrocopter and Viper perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Gyrocopter and Viper win 42.38% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 302 matches.
Drafting both Gyrocopter and Viper often forces your team into a slow, predictable pace that is easy to exploit. Both heroes lack mobility and have to run directly at their targets, making it difficult to initiate fights or catch fleeing enemies. The control they offer is also insufficient for each other. A target slowed by Viper Strike is still mobile enough to walk out of Call Down or destroy a Homing Missile. Without a third hero providing strong, reliable lockdown, this core duo struggles to set up its own damage and can be kited or split apart by more agile drafts, leaving them feeling ineffective.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
