How Nyx Assassin and Ringmaster perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Nyx Assassin and Ringmaster win 51.44% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,910 matches.
Securing pickoffs around the map can feel a bit more reliable with this duo. Ringmaster offers several ways to hold a target in place or draw them out of position, giving Nyx Assassin a perfect window to land Impale and Mana Burn after breaking Vendetta. This stun chain is often enough to eliminate a fragile hero. The main challenge is that neither hero brings significant building damage, so converting these kills into objectives isn't guaranteed. They might also lack the combined damage to bring down more durable cores without a third ally, which can leave the game in a stalemate even after a successful gank.
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.
