How Lina and Mars perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lina and Mars win 45.79% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,153 matches.
Facing a big Arena of Blood should feel like a death sentence, but it often works against Lina. She wants to stand far back and cast, but the Arena wall can block her spells and vision on targets pinned against the far side. For Mars, his goal is to trap enemies for his team to collapse on. Lina, however, is a fragile hero who has no business being inside the ring with him. This forces her to play at the edges of the fight, limiting her impact and making her an easy target for anyone not caught by the initial ultimate.
In practice, this means your mid-game teamfights feel disjointed. Mars will make a play, trapping key heroes, but Lina’s follow-up is often slow or incomplete. She might burst one target near the wall with Laguna Blade, but then the rest of the enemy team can turn on either the isolated Mars or the exposed Lina. The enemy team can often split their focus and win both fights, because this duo fundamentally wants to fight at different ranges and on different timelines.
