How Primal Beast and Warlock perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Primal Beast and Warlock win 49.75% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,442 matches.
Setting up a teamfight with this pair has a clear game plan. Warlock can drop his Golem for the stun, giving Primal Beast a perfect window to Onslaught in and begin Pulverize on a high-value target. With Fatal Bonds already cast, the damage from Primal Beast's Trample gets spread across the enemy team. Warlock's Upheaval can also create a huge slowing field that pins enemies down, making it much harder for them to escape the rampage.
The plan often breaks down due to positioning. Primal Beast is a frontline diver who wants to charge deep, while Warlock is a slow backliner who needs to keep his distance to stay safe. This means Primal Beast can easily get too far ahead, cut off from a clutch Shadow Word or support from the rest of his team. Committing both ultimates to lock down a single hero can also be an over-investment if the rest of the enemy team can just reposition and punish Warlock or the isolated Beast. It relies on the enemy making a mistake more than creating a guaranteed advantage.
