How Dazzle and Templar Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dazzle and Templar Assassin win 47.79% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 362 matches.
Casting Shallow Grave on Templar Assassin often means her fight is already over. She relies on Refraction to prevent taking health damage at all, so if she gets low enough to need saving, her main defensive tool has already been broken. Dazzle doesn't provide the kind of immediate, high-HP healing needed to get her back in the fight with a fresh set of Refraction charges. While the armor reduction from Bad Juju can amplify Templar Assassin's burst, their defensive kits are fundamentally at odds. One hero wants to prevent damage entirely, and the other's best save only works after it's too late.
