How Ogre Magi and Phoenix perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ogre Magi and Phoenix win 54.80% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 958 matches.
Securing a Supernova is the main goal here. Ogre Magi's reliable, single-target stuns are a decent tool for protecting the Phoenix egg from being focused down by a key enemy hero. A simple Fireblast can hold a right-clicker in place long enough for the rebirth, and a Multicast stun can win the fight on its own. Outside of the ultimate, Ogre's lockdown also makes it much easier for Phoenix to connect with a full-duration Sun Ray. Ignite adds a slow that helps Phoenix position for its spells or keep enemies from simply walking away.
In practice, this pairing creates a simple but effective game plan for teamfights. Ogre Magi acts as the frontline initiator or counter-initiator, finding a target to stun. This gives Phoenix the confidence to use Supernova aggressively. The enemy is then forced to decide between chewing through the very tanky Ogre or trying to kill the egg while he disrupts them. This can cause enough hesitation to swing the fight. The synergy isn't overwhelming, as teams with high mobility can still play around the egg, but the combination of lockdown and large-area damage is often enough to create an advantage.
