How Wraith King and Venomancer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Wraith King and Venomancer win 57.19% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,488 matches.
Applying slows across the entire enemy team makes it very simple for Wraith King to connect with his targets. Venomancer's spells prevent enemies from kiting, allowing Wraith King to walk up, land his stun, and start hitting things. This is especially true after a Poison Nova, which softens everyone up for the cleanup. In turn, Reincarnation forces opponents to chew through two lives, creating a massive window for Venomancer to safely apply his damage-over-time spells from the back line. Fighting through all that slow and poison is a real headache.
The whole game plan revolves around Wraith King being the durable frontline who refuses to die, giving Venomancer the space he needs. Fights become a slow grind where enemies are stuck in place, taking damage from both physical attacks and poison. Trying to disengage once a fight starts is often the worst choice, as the combined slows make it nearly impossible to get away. The other team’s main hope is to find and burst down Venomancer before he gets his spells off, or to try and outlast the Reincarnation timer from a safe distance.
