How Keeper of the Light and Night Stalker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Keeper of the Light and Night Stalker win 55.51% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 807 matches.
Running from Night Stalker at night is already tough; running from one who never runs out of spells is often impossible. Keeper of the Light's Chakra Magic keeps Night Stalker topped up on mana, allowing for constant aggression as soon as the first night hits. This means more Void spams to keep targets slowed and more Crippling Fear to silence anyone who tries to fight back. While the hunter is on the prowl, Keeper can use Illuminate to shove lanes from a safe distance, forcing reactions and creating space. This duo controls the entire pace of the mid-game, making it incredibly difficult for enemy heroes to find farm or secure objectives once the sun goes down.
