How Outworld Destroyer and Templar Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Outworld Destroyer and Templar Assassin win 49.12% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,979 matches.
Fights in the mid-game often expose the core problem with this pairing. Both Outworld Destroyer and Templar Assassin want to be the primary damage core, bursting down a single target from the back lines. The issue is that they also both need a huge amount of farm to get to that point, and they compete for the same space on the map to get it. When it's time to group up, the draft is left with very little lockdown. Outworld Destroyer's Astral Imprisonment is a decent setup, but it’s not enough to enable a hero like Templar Assassin and control a chaotic teamfight. The team ends up with two heroes trying to do the same job, without the initiation or control needed to succeed.
