Sometimes in the heat of the moment, we forget that Dota is a team game, which means you need to communicate and synergize with your allies to ensure victory on the battlefield. But if you don’t have the knack to talk and communicate, you can always pick heroes who naturally synergize with your allies to avoid all that communication.

With a plethora of heroes to choose from, one may get confused. To avoid you from losing MMR or getting perplexed, we bring you the best 15 Lane Combos That Are Amazing in the current meta. So the next time you play with your buddies you can try to synergize with these heroes! 

15. Magnus And Phantom Assassin

 Magnus can be picked first as he can be mended and put into any lane. He works best in the offlane or even in the support role where he can compete and help carry out farm his enemy carry with Empower. Phantom Assassin is a great hero to combine with, as Magnus can assist her farm quite effortlessly in the early game, giving her an edge over her enemies. In the late game, a single RP and PA dagger can be enough to end the game!

Why is this Combo OP?

• High damage for PA in the early game
• Increased farming potential
• Late game killing potential with RP and PA’s damage

11. Tidehunter and Kunkka

This ancient rivalry can also be turned into friendship if these two titans are on the same team. They both realize that their powers are unmatchable if they’re on the same side of the battlefield. Both heroes offer great crowd control through their spells. Tide’s Gush with Aghanim’s Scepter combined with Kunkka’s Tidebringer does an insane amount of physical damage which is hardly negated by armor or physical immunity.

9. Ursa and Shadow Shaman

We all know that Ursa can fare well in the laning phase versus most melee heroes, this is due to the insane physical damage which stacks exponentially. This combined with a lane partner that can lock down and disable enemies is just the cherry on top. Shadow Shaman completes Ursa and assists him on the quest of utter lane domination.

8. Skywrath Mage and Legion Commander

This combo was seen a lot in action during the 7.28 patch when both Skywrath and Legion were buffed to the core! These both are often played in the same lane, they deal a mix of both physical and magical damage. Their low CD makes it easier to spam spells and shove enemies out of the lane which combined with their disables can prove to be lethal. The selling point of this Combo  has to be their ultimate abilities, Dual combined with Mystic Flare deals immense damage which is both magical and physical.

Why is this Combo OP? 

• LC’s duel along with Sky’s ultimate can prove lethal and result in Duel victories
• Great laners, can easily shove enemies out of the lane.
• Low CD on both of their spells.

Bane and Mirana are often seen together in pro games, especially in the Chinese and European regions. These two heroes have a lot in common, but at the same time, they have different things to offer in the game. Mirana is known to be a great early game hero, which combined with Bane’s spells can lead to disaster for the enemy team.

6. Dazzle and Huskar

This dynamic Combo  has been feared a lot in both pub and pro games. Dazzle offers immense slow and DoT with armor reduction and heals while Huskar is the more offensive partner with immense physical damage. Both can initiate well and are very powerful in the laning phase. Picking a melee hero versus these heroes is a very bad idea, you either get shoved off from the lane or you get destroyed! The best part about these heroes is that you don't even need items to get kills or secure the laning phase, all you need is levels!

Why is this Combo OP? 

• Dazzle’s Poison Touch is menacing combined with the Burning Spears of Huskar.
• Both heroes are ranged, giving melee heroes a hard time!
• High damage output right from the laning phase, only to get OP in the late game.

5. Earthshaker and Ancient Apparition

If you’ve followed Dota long enough then you must remember the $8 million Echo Slam! Well, it was more like an $8 million Echo Slam into Ice Blast! The iconic play and the voice line still give millions of Dota fans goosebumps all around the world! Earthshaker deals immense DPS, just like AA which can be lethal right from the early game. The Ice Blast also prevents enemies from gaining HP, they just end up getting eviscerated! 

Why is this Combo OP?

• Low CD on spells allows for them to spam spells and shove enemies out of the lane
• Immense early to mid-game impact

4.Lifestealer and Spirit Breaker

Behold the taxi service! Spirit Breaker quite literally serves as a great vessel for Lifestealer to enhance his gameplay. Not only is Spirit Breaker very mobile, but he also offers mobility to LS by getting infested and charging on their foes miles away in the map.

2. Zeus and Spectre

Zeus is one of the most played mid heroes in the game, the reason being he is easy to play and dishes out loads of damage while also having a global presence. You also get to kill steal! Spectre is pretty much the same, but as these heroes are in the core position, they are played in separate lanes. You could initiate with Zeus ult and Nimbus first and then follow it up with Spectre's ult, this combo is surely guaranteed to net you a few kills! 

Why is this Combo OP? 

• Both heroes provide immense global ganking potential
• Combination of Physical and Magical damage
• Low CD on Zeus’s spells 

https://dota2.fandom.com/wiki/Zeus, https://dota2.fandom.com/wiki/Spectre

1. Tiny and Io

Not every Combo  list in Dota is complete without the mention of Tiny and Io. One is a glorified disco ball and the other is a mammoth of a rock, but they both complete each other! Tiny can be considered to be weak as a core hero in the laning phase, but Io sustains him by providing him with heals and attack speed which he desperately lacks. Along with initiating with Relocate, Io can also help him escape and heal him in team fights! 

Why is this Combo OP? 

• Tiny is sustained by Io in the lane with heals and increased attack speed.
• Low CD on spells
• Io can safely escort Tiny out of fights or initiate with him
