How Puck and Zeus perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Puck and Zeus win 48.66% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 559 matches.
Holding someone in Dream Coil for Zeus to unload on sounds good, but the core problem is that both heroes bring the same thing to a fight: a ton of magical damage. This makes it very easy for the enemy team to itemize against your draft. A single Pipe of Insight or a few timely Black King Bars can neutralize the impact of both Puck and Zeus at once, leaving your team with little else to offer. The combination also lacks a reliable, hard stun for locking down truly mobile targets. You end up with two heroes who are strong at the same things and weak to the same counters, which often creates a fragile game plan.
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.
