How Pugna and Warlock perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Pugna and Warlock win 49.79% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 7,551 matches.
Playing against this pair often reveals a clear weakness to exploit. Both Pugna and Warlock are immobile, squishy backliners who are very susceptible to being jumped on. Once a mobile enemy gets on top of them, there's little they can do for each other besides a defensive Decrepify, but that often isn't enough when they are both prime targets. The offensive potential is obvious: Decrepify sets up huge damage from Fatal Bonds and a Chaotic Offering Golem. The problem is that building a draft around two such vulnerable casters is risky. They end up competing for safe positions in a fight, and their shared fragility can easily be punished, slightly undermining their powerful spell combination.
