Rule of the gamePudge's Dismember lets his team see Clinkz while he is invisible
DismemberFrom the Dota 2 Wiki (community), not from Valve's files. A fact of the game, not something we measured.Measured: across 8,825 Divine+ games, Pudge's side wins 1.9 win-chance points more often than the two heroes' own win rates predict (90% range +1.0 to +2.8).
Divine+ games on one patch. An edge is what happens when a hero is picked into another, not a controlled test; the dots show how strongly a matchup stands out among all counters. In lane an edge counts only what the matchup does beyond both heroes' general lane strength. A reason is shown only where Valve's own spell or item text and the data agree; a rule of the game is a fact from Valve's files, not a measurement.
