How Batrider and Templar Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Batrider and Templar Assassin win 39.56% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 91 matches.
Facing this duo feels awkward for both sides. When Batrider uses Lasso to drag a target back, Templar Assassin has to follow, often forcing her to break position and dive deep into the enemy team to apply her Meld burst. This puts her at extreme risk, as she is a fragile core who prefers to initiate on her own terms. Both heroes are also tempo-setting cores who want to secure a Blink Dagger timing and then control the map by hunting for solo kills. Rather than enabling each other, they tend to compete for the same farm and role in the game, leaving their team with two greedy playmakers whose main abilities don't combine effectively in practice.
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.
