How Lifestealer and Meepo perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Lifestealer and Meepo win 52.53% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 10,572 matches.
Setting up a gank with this lineup provides some interesting options. Meepo can send a clone forward, allowing Lifestealer to Infest it for a long-range delivery. When the clone Poofs onto a target, Lifestealer can emerge with Rage already active, skipping the part of the fight where he's most vulnerable to being kited. Meepo’s multiple Earthbinds also help lock down a key hero for Lifestealer to right-click. This combination of surprise initiation and lockdown can be effective for picking off slippery targets. The plan relies on good coordination, and both heroes bring similar damage types, but the potential to get Lifestealer a clean entry into a fight can be enough to swing things.
