How Luna and Venomancer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Luna and Venomancer win 47.59% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 14,506 matches.
Teamfights after a Poison Nova often become scattered, with low-health enemies running for their lives. This is not the ideal setup for Luna. Her Eclipse wants to unload its damage quickly onto enemies that are grouped up or held in place, but Venomancer provides slows instead of the stuns that would enable that. The damage profiles clash: Venomancer applies a slow, non-lethal poison that requires a drawn-out chase, while Luna prefers to burst targets down immediately with right-clicks and her ultimate. The two heroes want to win the fight in different ways, at different speeds.
This slight friction can be felt throughout the game. While a lane with Venomous Gale can set up a kill with Lucent Beam, the lack of hard lockdown is noticeable. Later on, Luna hits her power spike and wants to force objectives with decisive teamfight wins. The chaos from a Venomancer ultimate can make it difficult for her to focus a priority target. The damage from both heroes is high, but it isn't applied in a way that directly benefits the other. Luna ends up having to do a lot of chasing, which can work, but it's not as clean as having a target stunned for her.
