How Magnus and Wraith King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Magnus and Wraith King win 55.08% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,338 matches.
Giving Wraith King an Empower buff fundamentally changes how he plays the game. It solves his main weakness of slow farm speed and turns him into a flash-farming machine who can clear entire creep waves and jungle camps with a few hits. In teamfights, this means every one of his critical strikes can cleave onto the enemy backline. Magnus sets this up perfectly with Reverse Polarity, which clumps opponents together and holds them in place for Wraith King to cut down.
The game plan is straightforward. Magnus finds a key Reverse Polarity on multiple targets, and Wraith King walks in to clean up. The enemy team is forced to play spread out, which makes them vulnerable to pickoffs. Trying to focus down Wraith King is also difficult; even if they manage to kill him once, his Reincarnation provides a window for Magnus and the rest of the team to counter-initiate. This forces opponents into a difficult choice of who to target when both heroes present such a huge threat.
