How Lifestealer and Razor perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lifestealer and Razor win 52.44% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 900 matches.
Controlling the map and taking early objectives feels much safer with this duo. Razor wants to run at the enemy core and drain them with Static Link, but he's vulnerable to being focused and burst down. Lifestealer can solve this by using Infest on Razor, effectively giving him a second life. If Razor gets low, Lifestealer can emerge with a burst of damage and a slow, completely turning the gank attempt around. This threat forces enemies to second-guess their commitments, letting the pair apply pressure and secure towers with less risk. Razor gets to be the aggressive front-liner he wants to be, knowing N'aix is ready to back him up from the inside.
