Hoodwink + Tidehunter

Why this works

Getting hit by a big Ravage can be a fight-defining moment, and Hoodwink's Sharpshooter is there to follow it up. The stun from Tidehunter provides a clean, long-duration window for Hoodwink to channel her ultimate for maximum damage. This simple but effective combo forms the core of their partnership. Outside of that, Tidehunter's Gush can soften up a target with its armor reduction, giving a minor boost to Hoodwink's physical damage from Acorn Shot, but the real threat is the combination of their ultimates.

This duo's game plan revolves around Tidehunter's ultimate cooldown. When Ravage is ready, they can group up and look for a decisive fight. Hoodwink will typically play far in the backline, relying on Tidehunter to create a chaotic frontline and land the perfect setup. The way to play against this is to respect the threat, either by spreading out to minimize Ravage's impact or by forcing fights and pushing lanes when it's on cooldown. If the enemy can successfully avoid or survive the big teamfight combo, the synergy between these two heroes offers little else to fall back on.
