Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Dazzle wins the Dazzle vs Templar Assassin matchup: Dazzle beats Templar Assassin in 54.60% of 13,149 ranked matches.
Picking Templar Assassin into a Dazzle is a tough choice to justify. Her entire defensive laning phase relies on Refraction, but Dazzle's Poison Touch eats through the shield's charges with persistent, low-damage ticks. This leaves Templar Assassin vulnerable and makes it hard for her to dominate the lane as she needs to. Later in the game, her role as a burst assassin is completely undermined by Shallow Grave. She can commit everything to a Meld strike on a key target, only to have Dazzle press a single button and negate all of it, leaving TA exposed and her primary threat neutralized. It's a fundamental mismatch of abilities.
