How Spectre and Storm Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Spectre and Storm Spirit win 43.11% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,278 matches.
Thinking of these two as competing for farm is a common mistake. Storm Spirit wants to be active and find pickoffs, while Spectre is content to farm remote parts of the map. Their synergy comes from combining these playstyles. A solo gank attempt from Storm can become a two-hero kill if Spectre has Haunt ready. Storm Spirit provides the initial control with Electric Vortex, holding a target long enough for Spectre to arrive and start adding her own damage to the fight.
This dynamic can make the mid-game a little safer for Spectre. An enemy hero trying to farm a lane alone has to consider that a Storm Spirit initiation could be followed up from anywhere. This doesn't shut the other team down, but it can create hesitation, which in turn gives Spectre more room on the map. The counter-play is for opponents to stay grouped up, making Storm's initial jump much riskier and giving his target immediate backup.
