How Omniknight and Phantom Lancer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Omniknight and Phantom Lancer win 51.56% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,547 matches.
Applying Heavenly Grace to Phantom Lancer gives him the status resistance and dispel needed to survive initial lockdown and start building his illusion army. A well-timed Guardian Angel can also swing a fight, letting him and his copies overwhelm targets with physical attacks. The problem is execution. In a chaotic engagement, it's difficult for Omniknight to ensure his spells land on the real Phantom Lancer instead of a disposable illusion. The pairing also offers little protection if the enemy team focuses on heavy magical burst damage. This makes the duo powerful in the right circumstances but often inconsistent from one game to the next.
