How Juggernaut and Phantom Lancer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Juggernaut and Phantom Lancer win 43.06% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 288 matches.
Splitting the map's resources between two greedy cores often leaves both heroes feeling poor. Juggernaut and Phantom Lancer both need a huge amount of gold to hit their key item timings and function as carries. This shared need for farm means neither hero gets to their power spikes on schedule, creating a long and vulnerable mid-game where the team lacks threat. They also occupy a similar role in fights, both wanting to be the primary physical damage dealer. While Juggernaut's Healing Ward offers some sustain, the duo generally fails to provide the control or varied damage types needed to build a cohesive lineup, making it easy for enemies to exploit their predictable strategy.
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.
