How Lina and Templar Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lina and Templar Assassin win 44.15% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 854 matches.
Picking both of these heroes often creates a difficult draft from the very beginning. Both Lina and Templar Assassin are at their best with the solo experience and farm priority of the mid lane. Forcing one into a side lane or a less comfortable role compromises their timings and makes it harder for them to hit their peak. In fights, they don't solve each other's problems. Templar Assassin offers no reliable stun to set up Lina’s Light Strike Array, and neither wants to be the one initiating or soaking damage. This leaves you with two fragile, burst-oriented heroes who both want to be the star of the show without providing the setup the other needs.
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.
