How Ogre Magi and Techies perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ogre Magi and Techies win 51.94% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,392 matches.
Setting up minefields and controlling territory gets a bit easier for Techies with an Ogre Magi on the team. The main benefit is Bloodlust, which lets Techies move around the map faster to place mines and also increases his attack speed. This small boost helps him farm and pressure towers when he has the chance. Ogre's Ignite and Fireblast can also provide enough lockdown or slow for Techies to land a Sticky Bomb or force an enemy to walk through a pre-placed mine. The combination adds a layer of reliable control that Techies otherwise lacks, making his setups a little more consistent.
During the laning phase, Ogre Magi can be a strong lane partner who bullies opponents and creates space. Later, the duo is good at defending and taking objectives. Ogre can stand at the front, threatening stuns and being a general nuisance, while Techies rigs the surrounding area with mines. This forces the enemy team to either try to fight into a fortified position or split up and avoid the fight entirely. This strategy isn't foolproof and requires good coordination, but it can successfully slow the game down and allow your team to play on your own terms.
