How Primal Beast and Templar Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Primal Beast and Templar Assassin win 44.33% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 203 matches.
Picking these two cores together often creates a conflict in your team's game plan. Primal Beast wants to initiate deep and cause a chaotic brawl with Onslaught and Pulverize. This kind of messy fight is where a Templar Assassin struggles most, as her Refraction gets stripped quickly by multiple damage sources, leaving her vulnerable. While Primal Beast can lock down a target, he doesn't provide the protection or clean setup that TA needs to safely deliver her damage. She can't follow his deep dives without getting focused, leaving him isolated and her unable to contribute. This fundamental clash in how they approach teamfights means they rarely execute on the same page.
