How Magnus and Necrophos perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Magnus and Necrophos win 51.87% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 53,378 matches.
Catching multiple heroes in a Reverse Polarity creates the ideal scenario for Necrophos. With everyone clumped together, Heartstopper Aura drains the entire enemy team while each Death Pulse provides maximum healing and damage. Magnus holds them in place, guaranteeing Necrophos can land a Reaper's Scythe on the most important target before they have a chance to use a defensive item or spell.
Their shared game plan is to force fights around objectives once Magnus has his Blink Dagger. Magnus is responsible for the setup, and Necrophos provides the devastating follow-up that turns a stun into a kill. Opponents are forced to play spread out and respect Magnus's initiation range constantly. Even a simple Skewer that isolates one hero can be enough for Necrophos to secure a pick-off, creating an advantage the duo can use to take control.
