How Keeper of the Light and Tusk perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Keeper of the Light and Tusk win 57.74% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 504 matches.
Trying to set up kills with this duo can feel a little disconnected. Tusk wants to get on top of enemies with Snowball, but Keeper of the Light's Illuminate requires him to stay back and channel. While Chakra Magic helps Tusk keep his mana up for Ice Shards, the two heroes often want to be in different positions during a fight. A well-timed Blinding Light from Keeper of the Light can certainly help Tusk land his abilities, but their kits don't have a clear, powerful sequence to follow. They can function on the same team, yet they don't make each other's jobs significantly easier.
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.
