How Puck and Viper perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Puck and Viper win 43.50% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 246 matches.
Picking both Puck and Viper often forces the draft to solve problems that the heroes themselves create. They both want to control the mid-game with magical damage and tempo, but their abilities don't build on each other's strengths. Puck wants to land a big Dream Coil and have the team follow up with immediate burst or lockdown to secure kills. Viper, however, provides slow, grinding damage and doesn't have the tools to quickly eliminate multiple leashed heroes. This leaves your team with two cores that serve a similar purpose without directly helping one another, often resulting in a lineup that lacks either physical damage or hard stuns.
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.
