How Marci and Sven perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Marci and Sven win 50.15% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,406 matches.
Giving Sven the Sidekick buff provides a solid boost to his damage and lifesteal, especially with God's Strength active. Marci can try to set up kills by using Dispose to throw an enemy back towards him. The core issue is that both heroes want to occupy the same space in a fight, making the pair vulnerable to being kited or controlled by the same spells. If Sven can't connect with his target, Marci's setup doesn't offer enough to solve his fundamental problem against mobile opponents. This leaves the success of the combination dependent on the enemy's draft rather than their own inherent strengths, making for an unreliable partnership.
