How Beastmaster and Templar Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Beastmaster and Templar Assassin win 41.36% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 220 matches.
Competing for the same map objectives and farm can starve one hero for the other. Both Beastmaster and Templar Assassin want to leverage a strong laning stage to invade the enemy jungle and secure an early Roshan. This creates a direct conflict over resources, potentially slowing down the item timings for both cores. While Primal Roar provides an excellent lockdown for Templar Assassin to burst a target, and Inner Beast boosts her attack speed, their combined damage is almost entirely physical. This makes their draft predictable and easy to counter with armor items.
If this duo doesn't snowball hard and end the game early, they run into serious problems. Opponents can build items like Ghost Scepter or Crimson Guard to nullify the pair's offensive pressure, buying time for their own cores to come online. Lacking significant magical damage or alternative win conditions, the team's entire game plan hinges on an early victory. Once that window closes, Beastmaster and Templar Assassin struggle to contribute effectively, as their shared strengths become a shared, easily exploitable weakness.
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.
