How Lina and Storm Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lina and Storm Spirit win 42.97% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 4,883 matches.
Getting hit by both heroes at once is a lot of magic damage, but it's usually overkill. Storm Spirit wants to pull a target and burst it down, and Lina wants to land a stun and do the same with her own spells. The issue is that they both want to do the exact same job on the exact same target. Committing Electric Vortex, Light Strike Array, and Laguna Blade to kill one hero is inefficient and leaves both of them with long cooldowns and little to offer for the rest of the fight.
This pairing struggles with resource distribution from the very start. Both Storm Spirit and Lina typically want the mid lane to get the levels and farm they need to come online. When one is forced into another role, their timings get delayed. Later, they compete for the same areas of the map to find pickoffs and farm. An enemy team can exploit this by grouping up, knowing that if they can survive the initial burst on one hero, the duo has very little sustained damage or control to handle a counter-push.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
