How Storm Spirit and Sven perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Storm Spirit and Sven win 44.84% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 727 matches.
Following up on Sven’s Storm Hammer is often where the problems begin. While the stun provides an initial setup, the two heroes want to fight in completely different ways. Sven needs his enemies grouped up so he can maximize his cleave damage during God's Strength, ideally hitting the entire enemy team at once. Storm Spirit, on the other hand, excels at diving past the frontline to assassinate a single isolated support in the back. This fundamental conflict in teamfight goals often leaves the pair fighting separate battles. Storm can't help Sven chew through a durable frontline, and Sven can't follow Storm's deep dives to secure a kill.
