Invoker + Ogre Magi

Why this works

Pairing a support with Invoker often comes down to what the draft needs, but Ogre Magi offers benefits to either of his main builds. An Exort Invoker gets a huge damage spike from Bloodlust, stacking with Alacrity to melt heroes and buildings with right-clicks. A Quas Wex Invoker appreciates having a durable frontliner who can hold enemies in place. For both styles, Ogre’s reliable Fireblast stun provides a simple and effective setup for landing a perfect Sun Strike from anywhere on the map, securing kills that would otherwise get away.

The partnership typically makes for a secure laning phase, where Ogre’s high regeneration and trading power can give Invoker the space he needs. From there, the duo wants to rotate together, looking for pickoffs with their stun and burst combo to build a lead. The main weakness is a reliance on coordination. Enemies will try to split them up or burst the Ogre Magi before he can get his spells off. If the Invoker and Ogre can't connect their abilities, their advantage fades quickly in a chaotic teamfight, which keeps this pairing from being a truly dominant force.
