How Gyrocopter and Nyx Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Gyrocopter and Nyx Assassin win 47.01% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 268 matches.
Coordinating a kill in the mid-game reveals the core issue. Nyx Assassin is built to find and burst a single hero from Vendetta, but Gyrocopter's contribution to that initial gank is underwhelming. His Homing Missile is often too slow or easily destroyed to reliably follow up Nyx's Impale, and his other spells are better suited for wider teamfights than single-target deletion. When a full five-on-five does break out, the pair continues to work at cross-purposes. Gyrocopter wants enemies grouped for Call Down and Flak Cannon, while Nyx Assassin wants to be diving a support in the back, splitting their focus and damage instead of combining it.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
