How Hoodwink and Lone Druid perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Hoodwink and Lone Druid win 46.39% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 18,339 matches.
Landing a Bushwhack stun is much simpler when Lone Druid's Spirit Bear has already rooted an enemy in place. This control lets the bear get free hits, often turning a routine root into a secured kill. Beyond the laning phase, Hoodwink acts as excellent cover for a split-pushing Lone Druid. By playing from the treeline, she can find stuns on anyone trying to jump the bear or interrupt key enemy spells from a safe distance. This support allows Lone Druid to more safely apply pressure and take towers, which is his entire game plan. It's not a hard combo, but it makes both heroes' jobs a little easier.
