How Lina and Tiny perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lina and Tiny win 46.42% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,146 matches.
Trying to lock down a single target shows the core problem here. Tiny wants to use his Avalanche and Toss combo for control, but tossing the enemy makes it incredibly difficult for Lina to land a follow-up Light Strike Array. The target is moving unpredictably, and the window to chain the stuns correctly is razor-thin. It often feels like you're working against your own teammate's setup rather than adding to it. They both provide burst damage, but without a reliable way to layer their control, that damage gets wasted or is never fully applied to a key hero before they can react.
This fundamental mismatch forces them into awkward team roles. Both Tiny and Lina can demand a lot of farm and levels, so they compete for resources from the start. If one hero tries to play a less greedy role, their kit doesn't offer the utility or defensive support the team actually needs. The result is a draft that's all-in on a burst combo that doesn't even line up properly. Teams facing them can easily itemize to survive the initial damage and then punish the lack of a backup plan, turning the fight around once the big spells are on cooldown.
