How Hoodwink and Tiny perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Hoodwink and Tiny win 43.19% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 683 matches.
Pairing Hoodwink and Tiny often creates a problem of conflicting setups. Both heroes want to lock down and burst a single target, but their methods get in each other's way. Hoodwink needs an enemy to stay near a tree for Bushwhack to be effective. Tiny's go-to move is to use his Avalanche-Toss combo, but the Toss itself repositions the enemy. This frequently moves the target out of Bushwhack's stun or away from the tree Hoodwink was relying on. Their main spells actively work against each other without perfect, moment-to-moment coordination.
This awkwardness comes up in ganks and teamfights all game. The duo has to decide who initiates, and the wrong choice can waste the whole attempt. If Tiny goes first with his full combo, there's a good chance Hoodwink can't land a meaningful stun before the target is thrown. If Hoodwink lands a stun first, Tiny's Toss can accidentally save the enemy by throwing them to safety. To make it work, Tiny has to consciously Toss targets into trees for his ally, which is a difficult play to execute under pressure and can feel unnatural.
