How Mars and Slardar perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Mars and Slardar win 45.67% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 127 matches.
Applying Corrosive Haze to heroes trapped in Arena of Blood sounds like a strong setup, but the heroes often step on each other's toes. Both Mars and Slardar want to be the primary initiator, usually jumping from the fog to start a fight. This can lead to awkward engagements where one hero commits while the other is out of position to follow up effectively. Their toolkits are also very similar, offering stuns, frontline durability, and physical damage setup. This redundancy often means your team composition lacks other important elements like magical burst or saves, while also forcing one of these cores into a less comfortable role.
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.
