How Outworld Destroyer and Phantom Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Outworld Destroyer and Phantom Assassin win 52.87% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 9,870 matches.
Having two cores who both want to farm for the first part of the game can leave the map feeling empty. Outworld Destroyer needs his core mana items before he can really impact teamfights, and Phantom Assassin is one of the most item-dependent carries. This often creates a window where your team has to play defensively and give up objectives. Neither hero is particularly good at creating early pressure or setting up ganks, which means they can end up competing for safe farm instead of creating space for one another.
When they finally group up, their kits don't really help each other. Astral Imprisonment can set up a kill, but Phantom Assassin already has a blink and usually wants to pick her own targets and timing. Their fight tempos also clash. PA wants to jump a backline hero and get a quick kill with her physical burst. OD, on the other hand, excels in longer, drawn-out fights where his magical damage can wear down the entire enemy team. This difference in style can lead to messy engagements where one hero is left out of position.
