How Marci and Nyx Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Marci and Nyx Assassin win 53.75% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,603 matches.
Pairing Marci and Nyx Assassin is a bet on early aggression and single-target lockdown. The game plan is pretty clear: Nyx Assassin finds a target with Vendetta and leads with Impale, giving Marci a window to Rebound in and throw the enemy back into your team with Dispose. It's a long disable chain that can delete one hero before a fight even starts. The problem is that both heroes can feel a bit redundant, as they both want to jump on the same targets. Their damage is also mixed, so they don't amplify each other directly. Success really depends on how well they coordinate their ganks to create space.
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.
