How Pugna and Visage perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Pugna and Visage win 49.51% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 711 matches.
Thinking these two heroes can amplify each other's magic damage is a common trap. The reality is that their kits often work against each other in chaotic fights. A well-timed Decrepify from Pugna to save an ally can completely negate Visage's kill attempt by making the target immune to his familiars' physical attacks. This single interaction can turn a guaranteed kill into a whiffed opportunity. Furthermore, they have conflicting tempos. Pugna excels in drawn-out sieges, draining towers and punishing spellcasters with Nether Ward. Visage prefers to find an isolated target and burst it down quickly. Without perfect coordination, they can struggle to find a rhythm where both are effective at the same time.
