How Muerta and Templar Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Muerta and Templar Assassin win 41.88% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 117 matches.
Thinking you can overwhelm enemies with two massive damage cores is a common trap. In practice, Muerta and Templar Assassin spend the whole game stepping on each other's toes. Both heroes are incredibly greedy and need the same farm priority and space on the map to hit their item timings, which usually means one or both fall behind. They also lack the tools to help each other secure kills. Neither provides the hard, reliable lockdown the other needs to unload their damage. Worse, their kits actively conflict: when Muerta uses Pierce the Veil, she deals magic damage, making Templar Assassin’s armor reduction from Meld completely useless during that window.
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.
