How Crystal Maiden and Tiny perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Crystal Maiden and Tiny win 42.96% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,015 matches.
Tossing a target for a burst combo is Tiny's whole plan, but Crystal Maiden wants to keep enemies rooted in place from a distance with Frostbite. This core conflict makes their kill attempts awkward. If Maiden roots an enemy, Tiny can't Toss them back to her. He has to awkwardly walk up to use Avalanche, wasting time and often letting the target survive. Even worse, Tiny might Toss an enemy right out of Crystal Maiden's Freezing Field, completely ruining her biggest teamfight contribution. The spells actively work against each other instead of chaining together.
This friction shows up right from the laning phase. They will try to set up a kill, but one hero's spell will negate the setup for the other's, leading to wasted mana and escaped enemies. As the game goes on, they struggle to find a rhythm. Crystal Maiden needs enemies held in one spot for her ultimate to do its job, while Tiny's kit is designed to displace and isolate a single person. To succeed, the Tiny player has to completely change how they play, often holding his Toss or using it only on targets that Crystal Maiden isn't already controlling, which is less than ideal.
