How Phantom Assassin and Ursa perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Phantom Assassin and Ursa win 43.72% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 462 matches.
Facing this pair rarely feels overwhelming because they create the same problem twice. Both Phantom Assassin and Ursa are melee cores that excel at bursting down a single hero with physical attacks. This makes your team's game plan very one-dimensional and predictable. The enemy team can easily itemize against both of your main threats by buying armor, Ghost Scepters, or a Heaven's Halberd. Without diverse damage types or significant crowd control, your lineup lacks the tools to handle grouped-up enemies or heroes with defensive items.
The draft puts your team in a difficult position from the start. Ursa and Phantom Assassin compete for the same farm and map space, so one of them is likely to have a slow start. Your team is forced to play for isolated pickoffs, but lacks the lockdown to reliably set them up. The enemy can simply group as five and force fights, knowing a single defensive cooldown can save a target from either hero's full commitment. You end up relying on one core snowballing completely out of control, which is a fragile strategy.
