How Lina and Spirit Breaker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lina and Spirit Breaker win 52.14% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 32,812 matches.
Creating pickoffs from anywhere on the map lets Lina accelerate her farm without having to take risky fights. Spirit Breaker's Charge of Darkness provides the perfect long-duration setup for Lina to land her own stun and unload her full spell combo. The target is usually dead before the stuns even wear off. This combination is all about converting a single global gank into an objective, opening up the map for a hero who wants to farm but also needs kills to get ahead.
The success of this duo really depends on catching heroes alone in the mid-game. If the enemy team starts grouping up or places good defensive wards, finding those easy pickoffs becomes much harder. Spirit Breaker charging into a group of five is suicide, and Lina can't follow him in safely anyway. She's a glass cannon who can get turned on and blown up if the gank is counter-initiated. So while the setup is there on paper, it relies heavily on the enemy making positional mistakes, which you can't always count on.
