Mars + Weaver

Why this works

Fighting for map control can feel like an uphill battle because these heroes have conflicting needs in a teamfight. Mars wants to create a static fight with Arena of Blood, locking key targets in a small space for his team to burst down. This is directly at odds with Weaver's entire playstyle, which relies on high-speed kiting and repositioning with Shukuchi to survive and deal damage. When Mars traps enemies, he also risks trapping Weaver inside the ring, turning the elusive carry into a stationary target who can be easily focused and killed.

This awkward dynamic plays out in critical mid-game objective fights. A successful Arena from Mars can become a death trap for his own core, forcing Weaver to either stay outside the fight or use Time Lapse defensively simply to escape his own team's ultimate. An enemy team will quickly learn to exploit this, waiting for the Arena and then immediately collapsing on the exposed Weaver. To make this pairing work, Mars has to use his ultimate very carefully to zone or split enemies, rather than for pure lockdown, which severely limits the spell's effectiveness and requires a lot of coordination.
