How Nyx Assassin and Tinker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Nyx Assassin and Tinker win 44.62% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 390 matches.
Setting up a kill with Impale for Tinker’s full combo sounds effective, but their game plans tend to drift apart. Tinker wants to farm aggressively, pushing out every lane to get his core items. This leaves an empty map, which is actually difficult for a Nyx Assassin looking for isolated targets to pick off with Vendetta. Instead of finding heroes farming alone, Nyx is forced into riskier plays or has to wait for teamfights. Both heroes want to control the pace of the game through pickoffs, but they do it in ways that don't complement each other, often leading to a disjointed mid-game.
