How Dazzle and Tusk perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dazzle and Tusk win 47.75% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,065 matches.
Pairing a big save with an all-in initiator seems strong, but the timing is often clumsy. Tusk wants to find a target with Snowball and blow them up instantly. This puts Dazzle in a tough position, as he's either too far back to contribute much beyond a late Shallow Grave, or he’s playing too far forward and becomes an easy target himself. While their kits can combine for some physical burst, their ideal fight tempos are completely different. Tusk wants the fight over in seconds, but Dazzle's abilities are built for extending brawls and wearing the enemy down. This fundamental conflict means their plans don't always line up neatly in a real game.
