How Primal Beast and Sven perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Primal Beast and Sven win 51.43% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,759 matches.
Focusing on how both heroes want to be the main front-liner can obscure their potential together. Primal Beast offers the one thing a farmed Sven loves: a stationary target. A successful Onslaught charge provides the opening stun for Sven to follow up with his own Storm Hammer and start hitting. The real value comes from Pulverize, which can hold a priority target down even through spell immunity. This allows a God's Strength-empowered Sven to unload damage without being kited. The coordination isn't always easy to pull off, and they can sometimes compete for similar areas of the map, but the lockdown from Primal Beast can give Sven the clean kill he needs.
