How Juggernaut and Tusk perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Juggernaut and Tusk win 49.33% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 9,913 matches.
Facing Tusk and Juggernaut in lane is about respecting their early kill threat. A well-placed Ice Shards from Tusk can trap a hero, creating a perfect setup for Juggernaut to connect with his entire Blade Fury. Snowball offers another way to close the gap, delivering Juggernaut onto a target for an immediate spin or a good starting position for his ultimate. Tusk’s Tag Team also provides a slow and damage amp that helps Juggernaut stick to targets after Blade Fury ends. The pieces for a strong kill lane are all there.
The problem with this combo is its reliance on securing a kill. If the Blade Fury burst isn't enough, both heroes have their core abilities on cooldown and can be punished. As two melee heroes, they can also have a difficult time against ranged opponents who can poke them out of the lane. Later on, their game plans can feel disconnected. Tusk wants to be constantly fighting and finding pickoffs, whereas Juggernaut often needs dedicated time to farm his items. This can leave the team playing on two different tempos.
