How Ringmaster and Wraith King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ringmaster and Wraith King win 55.70% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 851 matches.
Trying to burst Wraith King down and then reset is the standard plan, but it often falls apart against Ringmaster. The enemy team commits their spells to get the Reincarnation, thinking they can back off during the animation. Instead, Ringmaster uses his hypnotic abilities to draw key targets back into the fight. Enemies who thought they were safe suddenly find themselves pulled next to a reviving, angry skeleton king, with their main cooldowns already spent. It completely flips the script on what should be a clean kill.
This dynamic gives Wraith King a much safer game from start to finish. In lane, Ringmaster’s traps can set up easy stuns and kills. Later, it becomes very risky to try and gank Wraith King while he farms, since Ringmaster can turn the attempt around. The opposing team is forced into a bad choice: either focus Ringmaster and let the carry hit them freely, or go on Wraith King and risk getting trapped in a bad fight after his first life. This constant pressure creates the space WK needs to get his core items and take over.
