How Necrophos and Tinker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Necrophos and Tinker win 46.71% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 638 matches.
Drafting both Necrophos and Tinker often leaves your team without a coherent game plan. Necrophos thrives in the center of a grouped-up fight, grinding enemies down with Heartstopper Aura and sustaining his team. He wants to be the slow, unkillable anchor. Tinker functions on the exact opposite principle: he avoids fights entirely, preferring to split-push lanes and contribute damage from the safety of the trees with Rearm. This fundamental conflict means your team is almost always split. Necrophos is left fighting without the burst needed to set up Reaper's Scythe, and Tinker is playing his own separate game, making it hard to secure objectives or win decisive teamfights.
