So after taking a short break from Dota 2 I started playing matches and beast brawls with my mates again. And just the other day we got into a match and had a fun little combo going. We got Axe Witch Doctor, and Medusa. Axe Blink in, Use Berserker's Call, Medusa uses Stone Gaze, and the doctor unleashes hell with his ultimate. We teamwiped them 3v5 at our base with this combo.
With the massive amount of physical damage these heroes can output, Medusa's Stone Gaze heavily influenced the late game and eventually pulled out a victory against their mid-game focused lineup.
For overall combos though Axe with anybody, literally. Berserker's Call is such an amazing set up, Crystal Maiden etc. anybody who needs some kinda initiation or setup for their abilities to have full effect.
I play tiny and my friend plays Cent, axe, or Sven. All are hilarious. Veng and Luna are fun, nyx and Zeus is gank crazy, pudge and omni is crazy stupid.
He had the communication ability of a cabbage with aspurgers
BKvoiceover, that's a very interesting combo, but wouldn't you be heavily countered by physical damage blocks, like Omniknight's ultimate Guardian Angel and Ghost Scepter, for instance? I read somewhere that even Stone Gaze doesn't break immunity from physical damage, so you would end up with petrified but invulnearable enemies.
As for combos, there is one unexpected for me that I liked very much: Magnus + Phantom Assassin + Crystal Maiden. People got joined in together with Reverse Polarity, then I get the cleave effect, even without Battle Fury, from Magnus's Empower (and bonus damage), and meanwhile CM has an opening to channel her Freezing Field in peace. I was the PA in this game and really profited from this, since I could go straight to the Helm of the Dominator and Black King Bar (or you could just stack that cleave to do insane AoE damage). The good thing about this also is that we had both physical and magic damage on the combo.
Most times I'm just a simple Crystal Maiden eager for that Enigma or Tide Hunter to help me do my thing :)

True, Berserker's Call is amazing in so many setups. I just really liked him in this lineup because of the large amount of physical damage that he could deal as well as initiate.

Most likely. I'm sure in a competitive game they would aim for an Omni counter. Luckily they didn't pick an Omni so we didn't have to worry about that, and the entire game everyone seemed to be more focused on gathering their core items than working on a defensive counter. So we exploited that as much as we could.
My personal favorite is Magnus and Puck combo. Its so stronk. If magnus can get a good Reverse Polarity then puck can drop a Dream Coil on all of them, magnus will just Skewer them all awway dealing the break damage. They then finish them off with their nukes. Me and my freind were playing this combo, i being the magnus, and we had a 4v2 fight when they were pushing for rax and won. we eventually lost due to our seriously underfarmed void, but still an awwesome game.
Sucks that nearly everyone has Tangoes at the start... so it's only for mid game :D
But maybe Axe and Skywrath Mage? But of course! Everyone loves Axe :P
