How Hoodwink and Mars perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Hoodwink and Mars win 42.19% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 21,315 matches.
Falling behind on farm and map control is a common problem for this pair because their teamfight goals are fundamentally opposed. Mars wants to use Arena of Blood to trap enemies and force a brawl in a small, contained space. This is a nightmare for Hoodwink. Her survivability and positioning depend entirely on Scurry's bonus movement and phasing near trees, which are rarely inside the Arena. Trapped with no escape, she dies quickly. Playing outside the Arena is safer, but then she can’t effectively follow up on the initiation. It creates a lose-lose situation where Mars’s biggest spell actively disables Hoodwink’s own game plan.
