How Morphling and Queen of Pain perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Morphling and Queen of Pain win 45.35% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 5,158 matches.
Setting up kills with this pair feels awkward. Queen of Pain wants to Blink in for a quick burst with Scream of Pain, but Morphling doesn't provide the reliable lockdown to make that safe or effective. His Adaptive Strike stun is often too short to guarantee a kill, especially early on. In return, Queen of Pain offers more damage but doesn't have a save or a strong disable to protect a vulnerable Morphling while he's changing attributes or low on health. They both excel at dealing damage and escaping, but neither one truly enables the other to do their job better or more safely.
This core combination puts a huge strain on the rest of your draft. Both Morphling and Queen of Pain are greedy heroes who need a good start and lots of farm to hit their timings. They tend to want the same areas of the map to accelerate, which can starve one of them out. If the early game goes badly, they have very few ways to help each other recover. The lineup often lacks a sturdy frontline or the control needed for teamfights, forcing both heroes to rely on their own mobility to survive, which isn't enough against coordinated lockdown.
