How Puck and Sven perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Puck and Sven win 48.25% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 514 matches.
Facing a Puck and Sven gank often feels less threatening than it should. The setup from Puck's Dream Coil looks scary, but it doesn't solve Sven's core problem of getting on top of a target. An enemy caught in the coil can often stand still and wait for help or for the initial stun to wear off, knowing Sven has to slowly walk up to them. Without his own Blink Dagger, Sven struggles to connect during Puck's limited window of control. This leaves Puck providing some magic burst and a brief silence, but ultimately failing to deliver the hard lockdown a carry like Sven needs to dominate a fight from the start.
