How Hoodwink and Juggernaut perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Hoodwink and Juggernaut win 50.07% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 19,328 matches.
Setting up kills for Juggernaut with a good Bushwhack is the main idea here. Hoodwink can lock a target down near some trees, giving Juggernaut a free window to use Blade Fury for an early lane kill. The slow from her Acorn Shot can also help him stay on top of a fleeing enemy. Outside of that specific setup, though, their kits don't have much special interaction. Juggernaut wants to apply constant pressure by running at heroes, while Hoodwink provides control that is highly dependent on terrain. It’s a functional partnership, but not one that creates opportunities that wouldn't otherwise exist with any other generic stun.
This pairing often hinges on the laning stage. If Hoodwink and Juggernaut can secure an early advantage by chaining their spells, Juggernaut gets the farm he needs to carry. In mid-game teamfights, however, they can feel disconnected. Juggernaut needs to be in the fray, using Omnislash or spinning on key targets, whereas Hoodwink is most effective playing from the edges and weaving between trees. They end up executing their own plans in parallel rather than truly enabling each other, leading to fairly average outcomes.
