How Huskar and Ogre Magi perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Huskar and Ogre Magi win 45.18% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 7,545 matches.
Giving Huskar a Bloodlust buff seems like a straightforward way to boost his damage, and Ogre Magi’s stun helps lock a target down for Burning Spears. The problem is that their strengths overlap in ways that don't cover their weaknesses. Huskar's Berserker's Blood already makes him incredibly resistant to magic, which is the main type of damage Ogre contributes with Fireblast and Ignite. Ogre brings nothing to help Huskar survive his biggest threats: heavy physical burst damage and break mechanics that disable his passive.
This pairing can create pressure in the lane phase, but the plan feels incomplete as the game goes on. When Huskar uses Life Break to jump on a key target, he's committing to a low-health fight. Other supports might provide a grave, a dispel, or a shield to ensure he survives the counter-attack. Ogre Magi can only offer a stun and a speed buff, which isn't the kind of defensive support that truly enables Huskar's all-in playstyle against a coordinated team. The duo lacks the synergy needed to secure Huskar's survival after he goes in.
