How Anti-Mage and Templar Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Anti-Mage and Templar Assassin win 45.71% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 350 matches.
Pairing two independent, farm-heavy cores seems like a good way to out-scale an opponent, but it creates a team that's starved for resources and space. Anti-Mage and Templar Assassin want to occupy the exact same parts of the map to accelerate, slowing down each other’s timings. Their game plans also clash. Anti-Mage is focused on split-pushing and avoiding fights until he’s farmed, while Templar Assassin wants to group up to take Roshan and pressure objectives. Without a traditional frontliner or initiator to create opportunities, both heroes often find themselves unable to execute their strategies, leading to a disjointed and weak mid-game from which it's difficult to recover.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
