How Bounty Hunter and Templar Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bounty Hunter and Templar Assassin win 42.42% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 363 matches.
Thinking two invisible, single-target burst heroes will dominate the map is a common trap. The reality is that Bounty Hunter and Templar Assassin have too much overlap in their kits. They both excel at finding an isolated hero and bursting them down, but this leaves the team critically short on stuns, teamfight control, and a durable frontline. When the enemy decides to group up and force fights, neither hero offers the tools needed to manage the chaos. Templar Assassin needs someone to lock a target down for her, and Bounty Hunter needs the same. They end up wanting to play the same role in a fight, which often leaves the team feeling disjointed and weak against a coordinated push.
