How Morphling and Pugna perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Morphling and Pugna win 51.76% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 255 matches.
Failing to build an early lead often defines games with this pairing. Pugna wants to apply pressure with Nether Blast, but this constantly pushes the lane and puts a farming Morphling in a dangerous position away from his tower. The core conflict becomes even clearer in fights. Pugna’s main defensive tool, Decrepify, prevents Morphling from dealing any physical damage, turning a potential kill into an awkward retreat. While Life Drain can offer some healing, Morphling is usually better off managing his own health with Attribute Shift, and it requires Pugna to stand still as a vulnerable target. These heroes simply operate on different timings and with conflicting abilities.
