How Nature's Prophet and Hoodwink perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Nature's Prophet and Hoodwink win 43.27% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 795 matches.
Playing for map control with these two often means they get in each other's way. Both Nature's Prophet and Hoodwink want to use the jungle and side lanes to build an economic advantage, but they end up competing for the same farm. This slows both heroes down. More critically, Nature's Prophet’s tendency to split-push and send Treants down lanes can clear out the very trees Hoodwink needs to land a Bushwhack stun or get her evasion from Scurry. An ill-timed push can leave Hoodwink without any cover to effectively contribute to a fight, actively making her spells weaker.
This conflict usually results in a disjointed game plan. Nature's Prophet wants to apply pressure everywhere, teleporting to push towers and force reactions. Hoodwink, however, needs specific terrain to set up successful ganks and teamfights. When the Prophet's pushing removes key trees near objectives, it forces Hoodwink into awkward positions where she can't contribute effectively. The enemy team can exploit this by picking fights in the open lanes NP has pushed out, leaving Hoodwink unable to use her environment-dependent kit to its full potential while her ally is often on the other side of the map.
