How Lina and Tinker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lina and Tinker win 36.57% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 432 matches.
Facing a Lina and a Tinker can seem intimidating, since both heroes can blast you with magic damage from a long way off. But that shared strength is also their biggest weakness. Both heroes are incredibly greedy, requiring a ton of farm and solo experience to hit their timings, which often leaves the rest of their team poor and playing from behind. Neither one provides a frontline presence, initiation, or reliable lockdown to set up kills. If the enemy team has any way to close the distance, they can easily blow up either Tinker or Lina before a fight even begins. They end up competing for safe farm and don't really help each other do their jobs.
