How Muerta and Phoenix perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Muerta and Phoenix win 45.99% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 274 matches.
Putting Supernova and Pierce the Veil into the same fight seems like an easy win, but the two ultimates often pull in opposite directions. Phoenix needs the enemy team to commit to attacking the egg, but a ghost-form Muerta encourages them to either run away or focus her with spells. This creates a split-focus problem where opponents can often choose which threat to deal with, rather than being overwhelmed by both at once. Since both Phoenix and an ulted Muerta lean heavily on magic damage, it also becomes simpler for the enemy to itemize defensively. They don't have to choose between armor and magic resistance when your two biggest damage sources are the same type.
