How Marci and Primal Beast perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Marci and Primal Beast win 48.06% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,596 matches.
Splitting farm between two melee cores who want similar items can slow down the game's tempo. Both Marci and Primal Beast are initiators who need to occupy the same space in a teamfight, which can lead to awkward engagements. Marci might Dispose an enemy just as Primal Beast is trying to land his own combo, or they can simply get in each other's way. While the lockdown potential is there, the coordination is demanding. They don't naturally create space or set up ganks for one another in the way a traditional melee-ranged pairing does, leading to less efficient map control and more contested fights.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
