How Leshrac and Night Stalker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Leshrac and Night Stalker win 54.26% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 282 matches.
Thinking this pair is only about running at enemies misses the point. The real value comes from how Night Stalker controls vision and movement. When Darkness is active, opponents are practically blind and often clump together for safety. This creates an ideal situation for Leshrac to land Split Earth and then chase with Pulse Nova without fear of being easily targeted in return. Night Stalker's silence from Crippling Fear also ensures that once Leshrac gets on top of a target, they can't simply blink or force staff away. This control turns Leshrac from a risky glass cannon into a much more reliable source of damage, especially during the first few nights.
