How Hoodwink and Undying perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Hoodwink and Undying win 49.00% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 12,151 matches.
Trying to run from a Tombstone is already a mess, and Hoodwink makes it worse. As zombies slow you and body-block your escape paths, you become a much easier target for a Bushwhack stun against a nearby tree. The general chaos Undying creates with Decay and his zombies forces enemies to clump up or panic, giving Hoodwink clean angles for her abilities. Later on, a target slowed by Flesh Golem is a simple target for a full-duration Sharpshooter. Hoodwink provides the lockdown and ranged burst to finish off the targets Undying has softened up and pinned down.
The pairing is not without its issues, though. Hoodwink wants to play from the safety of the trees, while Undying needs to be in the enemy's face to be effective. This can leave them fighting on separate planes. If the fight breaks out in an open area with no trees, the Bushwhack setup disappears. Similarly, if opponents manage to jump on Hoodwink, Undying has very few tools to peel for her besides a single Soul Rip. The lane itself can also be awkward, as both heroes can feel a bit greedy for experience to hit their timings.
