How Primal Beast and Puck perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Primal Beast and Puck win 38.26% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 149 matches.
Coordinating a teamfight with this lineup can feel awkward. Primal Beast wants to Onslaught in and use Pulverize on a specific target, while Puck looks to lock down several heroes with Dream Coil. They are both trying to fill the same role of primary initiator and playmaker from a core position. This often leaves the team with a lot of initial control but not enough sustained physical damage to clean up the fight or push objectives afterwards. If the initial burst of spells from Puck and Primal Beast doesn't completely cripple the enemy, opponents can often stabilize and win the longer engagement once those key cooldowns are gone.
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.
