Why this works

Getting caught by a Sven stun can feel like a death sentence when a Hoodwink is nearby. She can easily chain her Bushwhack onto the target, extending the lockdown long enough for Sven to land a few big hits. Hoodwink can also create a setup tree with Acorn Shot if none are around, making the combo more reliable across the map. Sharpshooter from the fog provides a decent burst of initial or finishing damage on a target Sven is chasing, which can secure kills he might otherwise miss. The lockdown potential for ganks is solid.

The partnership can feel awkward later on because both heroes are playing different games. Sven wants to run at the enemy team as a five-man unit with God's Strength active, but Hoodwink prefers to play from the trees on the edge of the fight. She doesn't offer the kind of defensive save or team buff that keeps a farmed Sven alive when he gets focused. The stun chain is effective for ganks, but it loses some value in chaotic teamfights where Sven is trying to cleave multiple targets at once and Hoodwink is trying to find a safe angle.
