How Razor and Ringmaster perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Razor and Ringmaster win 49.36% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,363 matches.
Setting up a Static Link target with Ringmaster's control seems like the obvious plan, but it's often awkward in practice. The core issue is that both heroes want to dictate the target's positioning. Razor needs to stay in a specific tether range to drain damage, while Ringmaster’s hypnotic crowd control can move enemies around unpredictably. This forced movement risks breaking the link before it provides much value, especially during a chaotic teamfight. While Ringmaster can hold someone down for the initial approach, their main spells can work against Razor’s goals. It's a pairing that looks good on paper but can feel clumsy when trying to coordinate their different forms of control.
