How Pugna and Ursa perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Pugna and Ursa win 48.45% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,457 matches.
Thinking Pugna can save a diving Ursa with a clutch Decrepify is a common trap. The spell does make a target immune to physical damage, but it also prevents them from attacking. This means saving Ursa with it takes him completely out of the fight. The problem is even worse when Pugna uses Decrepify offensively to amplify his Nether Blast, as it makes the target immune to Ursa's claws right when he wants to be hitting them. The heroes' core abilities are fundamentally at odds with one another.
This conflict of interest makes teamfights awkward. Ursa wants to blink onto a single target and burst them down with Overpower before they can react. Pugna excels in longer, messier fights where he can reposition, use Life Drain, and punish spellcasters with his Nether Ward. When things get heated, Pugna's defensive instincts directly disable his own carry. They end up playing two separate games, unable to focus fire or effectively protect each other, which usually leads to one of them dying for nothing.
