How Omniknight and Templar Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Omniknight and Templar Assassin win 44.67% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 197 matches.
Playing against this combination often feels straightforward. Templar Assassin needs a hard stun to secure a full-damage Meld strike, but Omniknight only offers a slow, which frequently allows targets to reposition or escape. Later on, their core abilities fail to complement each other. Omniknight's Guardian Angel excels at stopping physical burst, but Templar Assassin’s own Refraction already provides a similar layer of defense for herself. What TA truly fears are the many small instances of magical or pure damage that shred her Refraction charges, and this is a weakness that Omniknight's kit does little to address, leaving her exposed.
