How Nyx Assassin and Treant Protector perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Nyx Assassin and Treant Protector win 50.87% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,355 matches.
Picking these two together often means trading raw lane pressure for better mid-game map control. Treant Protector’s Eyes In The Forest can give Nyx Assassin the exact vision he needs to find isolated targets for Vendetta ganks without having to risk his own life scouting. In larger fights, a well-placed Overgrowth from Treant can hold enemies still for a guaranteed Impale on a priority hero. The success of this pairing, however, relies heavily on that initial burst. If their target survives the lockdown, both heroes lack the sustained damage to finish the job on their own, often forcing them to disengage and wait for cooldowns.
