How Leshrac and Witch Doctor perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Leshrac and Witch Doctor win 50.87% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 4,232 matches.
Teamfights with this pair often feel disjointed. Leshrac wants to run deep into the enemy formation with Pulse Nova, forcing opponents to deal with him. At the same time, Witch Doctor needs to stay on the outskirts to safely channel his Death Ward. While Leshrac's slow from Lightning Storm can theoretically set up a Maledict, their combined stuns aren't reliable enough to guarantee a priority target gets locked down. This can result in Leshrac creating chaos in one spot while Witch Doctor is trying to find an opportunity in another, rather than them directly enabling each other’s biggest spells.
This dynamic means the duo often relies on the enemy making a positioning error. If opponents have a way to jump the backline, Witch Doctor gets interrupted or killed before his ultimate can have an impact. If they can kite or burst Leshrac before he deals significant damage, the fight is lost. The success of the pair hinges on Leshrac surviving the initial dive long enough for Witch Doctor to find a clean channel, a scenario that doesn't happen consistently against coordinated teams. They lack a single, powerful lockdown ability to force the situation in their favor.
