How Leshrac and Venomancer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Leshrac and Venomancer win 47.02% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,178 matches.
Pairing a lot of damage over time might seem overwhelming on paper, but it can be redundant. Leshrac and Venomancer both excel at wearing enemies down with sustained magic damage, but the lane often lacks the hard lockdown needed to secure kills. Venomancer's slows aren't quite enough to guarantee Leshrac's Split Earth lands, allowing opponents to survive pressure that would otherwise be lethal. They can bully heroes out of lane, but struggle to convert that advantage into a lead.
This duo is at its best when pushing towers, where Diabolic Edict and Plague Wards can melt structures. In teamfights, their weaknesses are exposed. Both heroes want to be in the thick of things but are quite fragile and lack a reliable way to start a fight. After a big Poison Nova, Leshrac still has to charge into the scattering enemy team to be effective with Pulse Nova, which often leaves him dangerously overextended and focused down before he can have a major impact.
