How Queen of Pain and Spirit Breaker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Queen of Pain and Spirit Breaker win 49.21% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 18,893 matches.
Setting up a gank with Charge of Darkness seems like a good way to let Queen of Pain land her full combo. In theory, Spirit Breaker finds and stuns a target, and she follows with Blink and her magical burst. The main issue is that Charge gives the enemy a clear warning of where the fight is about to happen. This allows them to reposition or ready their saves, which can make it awkward for Queen of Pain to commit aggressively. She's a hero who often prefers a more surprising initiation that she can control entirely on her own terms.
During the mid-game, the pair can feel a bit redundant. Both heroes want to find pickoffs on vulnerable supports, so they can end up competing for the same space and farm on the map. Against teams that group up, this duo often struggles. Once the initial charge and burst from Spirit Breaker and Queen of Pain are used on one hero, they don't offer much else to control a chaotic teamfight. They can feel one-dimensional, excelling at deleting a single target but lacking the tools to handle the enemy team turning back on them.
