How Faceless Void and Nyx Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Faceless Void and Nyx Assassin win 49.71% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 875 matches.
Thinking this duo has a problem because Nyx Assassin is melee and can't hit inside Chronosphere is a common mistake. His job isn't to right-click. While Faceless Void has the enemy team frozen, Nyx stands safely outside the sphere and contributes a huge amount of control and magical burst. He can land a perfect multi-hero Impale on the locked-down targets or use Mana Burn to empty the pool of a key support. This adds another layer of lockdown and damage that helps guarantee kills on even durable heroes. Before teamfights, Nyx's constant ganking pressure finds pickoffs for Void to join, creating space and accelerating the carry's farm toward key timings.
