Lina + Ogre Magi

Why this works

Applying Bloodlust to Lina gives her a major boost to her attack and movement speed. This effect stacks with her own Fiery Soul passive, making her right-clicks incredibly fast after she has already cast her spells to build up stacks. While Ogre Magi’s stun can help set up for Lina’s own Light Strike Array, the core of their synergy is this amplification of her right-click damage. The problem is that both heroes are primarily focused on aggression and speed. They can layer on damage and chase well, but they don't offer much to cover Lina's vulnerability to being focused and burst down herself.

Their laning phase can be potent with two stuns, but they often lack the tools to deal with sustained pressure or strong defensive lanes. The entire strategy revolves around Lina having a good game. If she gets an early lead, Ogre Magi turns her into a high-speed siege engine that can run down supports and take towers. If Lina falls behind, however, the Bloodlust doesn't do enough to bring her back. Ogre doesn't have a strong defensive save or dispel to protect his core, making the duo's success feel very dependent on how well Lina can snowball on her own.
