How Marci and Tusk perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Marci and Tusk win 47.43% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,467 matches.
Pairing these two feels like it should work, but they often step on each other's toes during ganks. Both Marci and Tusk want to be the primary initiator who closes the gap and locks down a target. The problem is their spells can actively conflict. Tusk might set up a perfect Ice Shards trap, only for Marci to immediately Dispose the target out of it. Or, Tusk commits Snowball to a location, but Marci repositions the enemy at the last second. Instead of a clean kill, you get a chaotic scramble where one hero's setup ruins the other's follow-up, often giving the enemy an unexpected window to escape.
