How Dark Willow and Tinker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Dark Willow and Tinker win 46.00% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 13,301 matches.
Facing this pair feels like you can never stand still. A Cursed Crown from Dark Willow could set up a volley of Heat-Seeking Missiles, or Terrorize could push you back into a field of March of the Machines. The problem is execution. Tinker’s entire game is about splitting the map and farming with Rearm, which means he’s rarely in the right place at the right time for Willow's setups. This often leaves Dark Willow trying to start fights for a core who isn’t there. In the end, you have two fragile heroes playing separate games on the same map, making it hard for them to secure objectives or win decisive teamfights together.
