Why this works
Picking both these heroes for your draft commits the team heavily to finding single-target pickoffs. The plan is straightforward: Batrider uses Flaming Lasso to grab a key target, and Nyx Assassin follows up with an easy Impale and burst damage. This can be effective for controlling the mid-game and securing objectives off the back of a kill. The main issue is that both heroes fill a very similar role. Their combined damage is almost entirely magical, which the enemy team can counter with shared items like a Pipe of Insight. If your ganks fail or the enemy groups up early, your team can feel one-dimensional and lack the tools needed for a full five-on-five teamfight.
