How Magnus and Zeus perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Magnus and Zeus win 48.78% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 18,316 matches.
Setting up a big Reverse Polarity gives Zeus a clear target for his magical burst. With everyone stunned and clumped, landing multiple sources of damage becomes much simpler. Empower from Magnus also gives Zeus's attacks some extra cleaving damage, which can help him farm faster or contribute more in fights when his spells are on cooldown. This provides a clear, if cooldown-dependent, game plan for teamfights.
The success of this pairing hinges almost entirely on Magnus landing that key ultimate. Opponents will actively play around it by spreading out, trying to cancel the spell, or focusing the fragile Zeus before he can follow up. Because both ultimates have long cooldowns, a single failed teamfight can be very punishing. While Zeus can always contribute global damage with Thundergod's Wrath, he has a much harder time bursting down specific heroes without the lockdown Magnus provides.
