In Dota 2 7.41e, Underlord and Templar Assassin win 41.19% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 369 matches.
You'd think Pit of Malice would be the perfect setup for a Templar Assassin, but in reality it's not what she needs. The root doesn't stop enemies from using defensive items or spells to survive her initial burst from Meld. Their overall game plans also clash. Underlord wants to group up with his team early, create space with his auras, and fight prolonged battles. Templar Assassin wants to hit her timings, farm efficiently, and then find quick, solo pickoffs with Blink Dagger. A Fiend's Gate gank is far too slow and telegraphed for a hero who relies on surprise. They both end up wanting to play the map in different ways at different speeds.
