How Brewmaster and Templar Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Brewmaster and Templar Assassin win 47.21% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 4,804 matches.
Putting these two together feels like it should create easy pickoffs, but they have conflicting needs in practice. Templar Assassin wants to blow a target up quickly from the shadows with Meld and then stand her ground, hitting clean Psi Blade shots through her victims. Brewmaster, on the other hand, creates total chaos with Primal Split. That kind of messy, spread-out fight is the opposite of what TA needs to maximize her damage. She gets zoned by the different spirits or can't find a good angle for her spills. Both heroes also want to be the team's primary tempo-setter, so they often compete for farm and timing windows instead of enabling one another.
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.
