How Nyx Assassin and Visage perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Nyx Assassin and Visage win 53.09% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,019 matches.
Feeling a constant threat of a pick-off is the main theme here. Nyx Assassin provides reliable setup from Vendetta, landing an Impale that gives Visage a clear window for Grave Chill and a full Familiar barrage. This focus on deleting a single target can create a lot of map pressure and snowball an early lead. The synergy can feel a bit one-dimensional, though. Both heroes are trying to do the same job of hunting, and if the team needs wave clear or sustained area damage, this pairing offers very little. Their effectiveness hinges on that initial gank succeeding, as they don't provide a strong fallback plan.
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.
