How Pangolier and Slardar perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Pangolier and Slardar win 51.81% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 276 matches.
Picking one of these heroes can make you think about drafting the other, as they create a solid physical damage follow-up for each other. Slardar's Corrosive Haze makes a single target extremely soft, which makes Pangolier's Swashbuckle feel a lot more impactful once he has some items. The initiation is also simple to coordinate. Slardar can Blink in for a Slithereen Crush, giving Pangolier an easy target to start rolling on or chain his own stuns. The synergy mainly shines in the mid-game when both heroes are active. They don't provide a ton of control from a distance, so they both have to commit to get the job done.
