I know there are some adequate people here like BowEzed, so I've decided to listen to your opinions here too.

Was playing a few inhouse games with friends yesterday and there were two games in a row with these 2 different combinations. Well, I knew for a long time that these comboes are quite good and make the enemy keep away from creeps and therefore lose money and exp (and if they lose patience they will lost theirselves, even at lvl1 if they're not both stunners ofc)

But

That's the first time when I actually wondered which one is better. Thinking about late game, panda is one of the best damagging tanks with insane skills and especially ulty, while axe is quite specific and cannot bring that much profit to the team. He has, however, a better farming ability and actually doesn't need to farm as much as panda.
But staying with rhasta he might have a little bit more problems in killing than axe if it's not a weak/slow hero who'll get loads of dmg from phys attacks while being shuckled and then clapped. This also doesn't require attacking enemy creeps for greater effectiveness like with axe.

Well, as you can see, there's nothing special in my question, just giving a topic to discuss.

Axe is specific and doesnt bring much to the team? Hes probably the 2nd strongest dagger initiator there is (behind earthshaker and before enigma), with great farming potential and fairly strong midgame...

Im a big fan of panda and i think hes fairly underrated, but most of the times the axe lane will be stronger lategame. Pandas dagger initiation isnt nearly as strong, he has trouble farming. On the other hand hes hard to kill with his ultimate and great at interrupting channeling ultis which you might face (maiden, engima, sk) with his 3 disables in tri-panda-form.

Even though rhasta panda gives a nice oldschool feeling, i would say lion + axe > rhasta + axe > rhasta + panda

Rhasta is probably stronger than lion overall right now, but he doesnt fit axe as well as lion does, especially with call and shackle interfering with each other.
