How Brewmaster and Tusk perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Brewmaster and Tusk win 48.70% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,154 matches.
Setting up a gank with this pair has potential. Tusk can use Snowball to deliver Brewmaster, and Tag Team can amplify his damage once they arrive. The problem is that their game plans tend to diverge once a real fight breaks out. Brewmaster often wants to use Primal Split and control the engagement with his spirits, spreading chaos across a wide area. This doesn't line up well with Tusk's desire to isolate and burst down a single hero with Walrus PUNCH. While both heroes are effective brawlers, they don't combine their strengths into a single focused objective, often resulting in two separate skirmishes instead of one decisive teamfight.
