How Lifestealer and Visage perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lifestealer and Visage win 55.23% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,046 matches.
Trying to keep track of Visage's Familiars is already a problem, but it becomes a nightmare when one of them could contain a Lifestealer. A Familiar carrying an Infested Lifestealer can fly over any terrain to set up a perfect gank, often using Stone Form to stun the target right as he pops out. This gives Lifestealer a free setup for Rage and Open Wounds. Both heroes excel at forcing mid-game fights and taking towers. Visage provides the initial lockdown and sustained physical damage with his summons, while Lifestealer brings the heavy single-target burst and magic immunity to close out the kill and survive the counter-attack.
