How Lion and Lone Druid perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lion and Lone Druid win 44.24% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 825 matches.
You might think Lion needs to leave the lane to find kills, but he enables Lone Druid by simply staying put. One good stun from Lion is all the Spirit Bear needs to get a huge number of free hits on a target. This consistent threat makes it difficult for opponents to trade effectively, allowing Lone Druid to farm more safely and hit his timings. Later in the game, the same principle applies to taking towers. Lone Druid can siege objectives while Lion provides reliable peel with Hex or Earth Spike, protecting the push and making it awkward for enemies to initiate a defense.
