How Marci and Pugna perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Marci and Pugna win 50.73% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,841 matches.
Drafting both Marci and Pugna means accepting a core gameplay conflict. The main problem comes from Decrepify. While Pugna can use it to save an ally, it is often used on Marci's target, making them immune to her physical attacks. This completely shuts down her damage from Unleash and the lifesteal from Sidekick. Although Marci can set up Nether Blast with a throw, this small benefit is overshadowed by the constant risk of interference. It forces a level of coordination that's hard to achieve, where both players must actively avoid stepping on each other's toes, often leading to awkward and ineffective fights.
