How Magnus and Templar Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Magnus and Templar Assassin win 47.08% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 720 matches.
Giving Empower to Templar Assassin sounds like a great plan for her damage, but the cleave part is largely wasted. Her own Psi Blades already give her a way to hit multiple units, so she doesn't get the huge boost in farming speed that other carries would from Magnus. While a good Reverse Polarity can line up a perfect multi-hero spill for TA, their game plans often conflict before that point. Both heroes need to hit key item timings, but they want to farm similar parts of the map to do it. This competition for safe farm can slow them both down, making it harder to reach the point where their big teamfight combo is ready.
