How Drow Ranger and Templar Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Drow Ranger and Templar Assassin win 42.40% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 342 matches.
Trying to support both of these heroes often splits the map and its resources poorly. Drow Ranger and Templar Assassin are both greedy cores who want to clear creep waves and jungle camps to hit their key timings. This creates direct competition for safe farm, as both want to occupy similar spaces. Their game plans also clash. Templar Assassin excels at pressuring objectives and finding solo kills with her burst damage from Meld, while Drow Ranger wants to group as five to push towers with Marksmanship. The result is a fragile lineup with two damage-dealers who don't enable each other and often lack the frontline or control needed to execute a unified strategy.
