How Keeper of the Light and Pugna perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Keeper of the Light and Pugna win 51.35% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,927 matches.
Pushing down towers early is the main idea here. Keeper of the Light can supply Pugna with a constant stream of mana through Chakra Magic, letting him spam Nether Blast on buildings and creep waves without needing to go back to base. This pressure can create a lot of map control. The problem is that both heroes are very squishy and lack reliable lockdown. If an enemy hero gets the jump on them, they have a hard time escaping or fighting back, which often stops the push dead in its tracks. This makes their success highly dependent on the enemy's ability to coordinate an attack.
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.
