How Morphling and Venomancer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Morphling and Venomancer win 45.69% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 5,279 matches.
Forcing a team to play two different games at once is the core issue here. Morphling is a hyper-carry who needs a protected, resource-rich part of the map for a long time to build his items. Meanwhile, Venomancer hits a major power spike in the mid-game and wants to group with his team, using Plague Wards and Poison Nova to seize map control and push towers. These two game plans are at odds; one hero wants to farm safely while the other wants to fight constantly.
This conflict usually results in a team that's fractured and ineffective. If the team groups with Venomancer, Morphling’s farm is crippled, delaying his impact indefinitely. If they try to play around Morphling instead, Venomancer’s key timing is wasted and the enemy team gets to dictate the pace of the game. They can either pick off the isolated Morphling or force fights against the weaker four-man group, creating an advantage that's hard to come back from.
