How Mars and Wraith King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Mars and Wraith King win 51.70% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 383 matches.
Casting Arena of Blood often feels like it works against Wraith King's game plan. Mars wants to trap enemies inside so the team can pile on, but Wraith King is a melee core who needs to be in the middle of the fight himself. If he's outside the Arena when it goes up, he's stuck walking around it while the fight happens. Even if he's inside, enemies can focus him down, force out Reincarnation, and then reposition before he's back up. The wall that's meant to trap enemies can easily become an obstacle for the king.
Throughout the game, both heroes try to dictate the pace from the frontline, but they do it in ways that don't really help each other. Mars looks for a perfect Spear into Arena setup, a moment of precise control. Wraith King prefers a less controlled brawl where he can walk at targets, absorb spells, and rely on his second life to clean up. Their ideal fights are different. Instead of one hero setting up for the other, they often feel like two separate frontliners competing for the same space and tempo, which can leave the team feeling disjointed.
