How Luna and Skywrath Mage perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Luna and Skywrath Mage win 50.59% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 16,811 matches.
Picking these two together often hinges on the idea of a huge magical damage combo. On paper, Skywrath Mage using Ancient Seal to amplify Luna's Eclipse seems like a guaranteed kill on anyone. The problem is execution. Neither hero provides a hard stun to hold the target in place. Skywrath's slow from Concussive Shot helps, but a mobile enemy can often survive by simply walking out of Mystic Flare or away from the Eclipse beams. Both heroes are also fragile and prefer to stay at the edge of a fight, so they don't cover each other's core weaknesses.
This lane can be strong, as both have good magical harass to bully an opponent. As the game progresses, however, their shared need for a strong frontline becomes obvious. Without a durable initiator or lockdown from another ally, both Luna and Skywrath Mage become primary targets for the enemy team to jump on. They can certainly delete a single hero if they're caught out of position, but in a full teamfight, they struggle to create their own opportunities and can be overwhelmed before they can deliver their combined damage.
