How Enigma and Techies perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Enigma and Techies win 51.31% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,582 matches.
A well-placed Black Hole can clump enemies together, making them ideal targets for Techies' Proximity Mines. The combination of Enigma's massive disable with the huge area damage from the mines can end a fight on its own. In some cases, Techies can even lead the way. Using Blast Off! provides a large area silence, which can prevent key enemies from interrupting Enigma's channel and help secure a clean Black Hole. The goal is to stack control and damage on the same spot at the same time.
In practice, this duo's success relies heavily on perfect coordination. Both heroes need specific positioning and timing, and a mistake from either one can waste the whole setup. A good Black Hole is often enough to win a fight by itself, making the follow-up from Techies feel a bit redundant or like overkill. Both heroes are also quite vulnerable to being initiated on before they can get their critical spells off. This pairing works best when you can completely surprise the enemy, but it offers little advantage in a straight-up, even fight.
