How Primal Beast and Ringmaster perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Primal Beast and Ringmaster win 48.26% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,327 matches.
Picking these two together often feels like you're overlapping too much on initiation. Both Primal Beast and Ringmaster want to be the ones to start a fight and control enemy positions, but their kits can work against each other. The issue is that Ringmaster’s hypnotic pull, while a decent setup on its own, can actively move a target that Primal Beast was already lining up for an Onslaught or Pulverize. This can force Primal Beast to constantly readjust his charge or reposition during Trample. It makes the whole combination feel a bit clunky and less reliable than it looks on paper, as they can end up stepping on each other's toes.
