How Hoodwink and Tinker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Hoodwink and Tinker win 44.01% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 802 matches.
Picking these two feels like you're drafting a mobile, high-damage gank squad, but the reality is often a team with no frontline. Tinker needs to play his own game, split-pushing lanes and farming to get his items. This directly conflicts with Hoodwink, who wants to group up with allies to land a multi-hero Bushwhack and control teamfights. Without a durable hero to initiate or stand in front, enemies can often run straight at your back lines. This forces Tinker to Rearm and escape, leaving a squishy Hoodwink to fend for herself. The lineup is too fragile to set up the wombo combo it looks like it has on paper.
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.
