How Phoenix and Ringmaster perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Phoenix and Ringmaster win 51.52% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 363 matches.
Setting up a clean Supernova is the main idea here. Ringmaster can use his hypnotic pull to draw enemies together, creating an ideal target for Phoenix to drop the egg on. This forces the opponent into a bad spot: either they try to focus the egg while being controlled and taking damage, or they get caught by the stun. The same setup works well for a long, high-damage Sun Ray. The catch is that this interaction is heavily reliant on both heroes committing their major abilities. Outside of that one big moment, their kits don't have as much to offer each other, which brings the pairing back toward an even fight.
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.
