How Faceless Void and Templar Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Faceless Void and Templar Assassin win 42.39% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 243 matches.
Setting up a perfect Chronosphere feels great, and Templar Assassin can certainly hit targets inside with Psi Blades. The core issue is that both heroes want to be the one doing the hitting. Faceless Void and TA fill a similar role as the team's primary physical damage source, which leaves the draft with major gaps. They offer very little lockdown to set up fights or control enemies when Chronosphere is on cooldown, forcing Void to find a perfect initiation on his own. Furthermore, opponents can itemize for armor and effectively counter both of your main damage threats at once, making the overall game plan feel inflexible and easy to exploit.
