How Gyrocopter and Night Stalker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Gyrocopter and Night Stalker win 49.31% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 288 matches.
Securing early map control feels awkward with this pair. Night Stalker wants to be aggressive the moment the first night hits, using Hunter in the Night to gank and create space. At that same point, Gyrocopter is usually focused on accelerating his own farm, stacking ancients to clear with Flak Cannon. This timing mismatch often forces a choice: either Night Stalker plays too passively waiting for his carry, or Gyrocopter is dragged into fights before he's ready. Without Gyro's major damage from items, Night Stalker's aggression can fizzle out, and the team struggles to convert those early kills into objectives before the enemy cores come online.
