How Lifestealer and Treant Protector perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lifestealer and Treant Protector win 53.05% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 5,531 matches.
Securing map control for Lifestealer is the main goal here. Treant Protector’s Living Armor allows Lifestealer to sustain through the laning stage and farm more aggressively, creating space and pressure. This naturally sets up their key interaction for teamfights. Treant can lock down multiple enemies with Overgrowth, which is a perfect invitation for Lifestealer to either pop out of Infest or simply run in with Rage. The root holds targets in place, even if they're magic immune, letting Lifestealer get on top of his preferred target and stay there.
The success of this pairing, however, really hinges on Treant landing a good ultimate. When Overgrowth is on cooldown, the two heroes don't have much specific synergy. Lifestealer wants to fight continuously, but Treant doesn't offer much lockdown or chase potential outside of his ult. Smart opponents will try to bait out Overgrowth or split up to minimize its impact. If the setup fails, Lifestealer is often left on his own trying to brute-force a kill, while Treant Protector can only offer minor slows and heals from a distance.
