How Morphling and Nyx Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Morphling and Nyx Assassin win 46.98% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 364 matches.
Facing down a Vendetta break into a Waveform feels dangerous, but the threat often falls apart. Both Morphling and Nyx Assassin excel at deleting a single hero, which can be overkill when their spells overlap on one target while the rest of the fight moves on. Nyx Assassin provides a stun with Impale, but he doesn't bring the wider teamfight control or defensive support that helps a carry like Morphling feel safe when shifting Agility. In fact, a hero like Nyx is often picked to specifically counter Morphling by draining his mana, so putting them on the same team creates an awkward pairing where neither hero provides what the other is missing.
