How Arc Warden and Templar Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Arc Warden and Templar Assassin win 49.26% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,746 matches.
Putting both Arc Warden and Templar Assassin on one team creates a massive resource problem. They're two of the greediest cores in the game, both wanting to flash-farm multiple lanes and jungle areas to hit their timings, which starves the rest of your team. Their kits also don't patch up each other's weaknesses. You're left with almost no reliable lockdown, making it hard to secure kills or survive ganks. While Magnetic Field is a strong defensive tool, Templar Assassin often prefers to blink on top of enemies, playing outside its protection. Arc Warden's slows are redundant with her Psionic Traps. You end up with two heroes trying to do the same job.
