How Invoker and Tiny perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Invoker and Tiny win 45.93% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,230 matches.
Getting hit by an Avalanche should feel like the end, but against this duo it can sometimes be a weird form of escape. Invoker needs targets to be predictable to land his big damage spells like Meteor or Sun Strike. The problem is Tiny's follow-up to Avalanche is almost always Toss, which sends the target flying. This completely messes up Invoker's spell placement, as the enemy is moved out of the impact area right after he commits his cooldowns. Their core combos actively disrupt one another, creating a fundamental conflict in how they want a fight to unfold.
This misalignment makes ganks and teamfights incredibly awkward. An initiation from Tiny can look promising, only for his Toss to throw the enemy to safety, away from a perfectly aimed Deafening Blast or a controlling Ice Wall. To make this work, the Tiny has to completely change his playstyle and hold his most iconic ability, which feels wrong and is often ineffective. The Invoker is forced to constantly second-guess where a target will land, turning coordinated kills into a chaotic mess where key spells miss and enemies get away.
