How Juggernaut and Necrophos perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Juggernaut and Necrophos win 52.20% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 34,150 matches.
Teamfights become a simple two-step process. Juggernaut uses Omnislash to bring a priority target to low health, and Necrophos follows up with Reaper's Scythe to secure the kill from a distance. This combination is lethal because it bypasses many common escape tools and defensive items. Behind this burst potential, the constant healing from a Healing Ward combined with repeated Death Pulses makes both heroes incredibly durable. It allows them to win extended trades and keep pushing towers after a successful gank, creating a lot of pressure.
The game often revolves around Juggernaut and Necrophos's mid-game timing. Once they have their ultimates, they can force fights almost anywhere on the map. The opposing team has to play carefully, as getting caught alone means certain death. Their best response is to either coordinate a massive burst of damage to kill one of them instantly before the sustain kicks in, or to avoid them completely and try to split the map. If the enemy team hesitates, this duo can take objectives and methodically build an insurmountable lead.
