How Ogre Magi and Phantom Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ogre Magi and Phantom Assassin win 51.90% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 33,618 matches.
Giving Phantom Assassin a Bloodlust provides a simple, effective boost to her damage output. More attack speed means more chances to land a critical strike, which is her entire game plan. This helps her farm faster early and tear through targets later. Ogre Magi can also land a Fireblast to hold a target in place for her, but beyond that, the synergy is fairly direct. He provides a buff and a stun, and she provides the damage.
The game plan involves Ogre Magi keeping Bloodlust active on Phantom Assassin whenever possible, accelerating her key item timings. In teamfights, Ogre acts as a durable frontliner, looking for Multicast stuns to create openings for PA to jump in and clean up. This strategy, however, hinges entirely on PA having a good game. If the enemy team can shut her down with disables or break effects, Ogre's contribution doesn't offer a special way to save her. He buffs her, but he can't solve her fundamental problems.
