How Omniknight and Slardar perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Omniknight and Slardar win 48.71% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,940 matches.
Putting Omniknight's saves on a diving initiator sounds good on paper, but the reality is more situational. Slardar appreciates having Guardian Angel when he dives deep to apply Corrosive Haze and get his stun off, as it prevents him from being immediately deleted. This gives him the time he needs to set up kills. The main issue is that the combo itself doesn't provide the finishing damage. Both Omniknight and Slardar rely on their other teammates to capitalize on the armor reduction. Without strong physical damage cores to follow up, their initiation can feel a bit empty, making this partnership very dependent on the overall draft.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
