How Necrophos and Treant Protector perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Necrophos and Treant Protector win 51.62% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,021 matches.
Picking these two heroes together provides a safety net across the entire map. Necrophos can farm his lane more boldly knowing Treant Protector's Living Armor can bail him out from anywhere. This constant protection helps Necrophos hit his timings. When they do group up, Treant's Leech Seed adds another slow and some extra healing, making it easier for Necrophos to stick to a target and wear them down with Heartstopper Aura.
The overall goal is to win through attrition. Opponents need to coordinate a lot of burst damage to kill anyone, as the combined healing makes targets surprisingly durable. A well-timed Overgrowth can hold a priority hero in place long enough for Necrophos to secure a Reaper's Scythe kill, which often turns the fight. The enemy team has to commit heavily for ganks, or they risk getting slowly ground down by the constant pressure and sustain.
