How Ringmaster and Snapfire perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ringmaster and Snapfire win 47.33% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 8,166 matches.
Pairing these two supports is a bet on perfect execution. The obvious plan is to use Ringmaster’s hypnotic device to drag enemies together for Snapfire to unload a full Mortimer Kisses. This can be a powerful play, but it's tricky to get right. The projectiles from Mortimer Kisses have a travel time, and lining them up on targets being pulled can be difficult. On top of that, a mistimed Firesnap Cookie can easily push enemies away from the pull, actively working against Ringmaster’s setup and wasting the opportunity entirely.
Their laning phase is often stable, but their mid-game impact feels very inconsistent. A game can be won or lost based on how well this combo lands in a crucial teamfight. If they connect, they can wipe heroes and secure objectives. If the timing is off, or the enemy simply dodges, both heroes are left with their main spells on cooldown and very little to contribute. The success of the entire draft often hinges on whether they can nail that single, difficult interaction, which doesn't happen reliably.

These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
