How Primal Beast and Tinker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Primal Beast and Tinker win 42.65% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 204 matches.
Struggling for farm across the map is a common outcome here. Tinker is an incredibly greedy hero, needing a huge gold lead to safely apply pressure with his long-range spells. Primal Beast, on the other hand, wants to brawl and create pressure early to secure objectives. The problem is they operate on different clocks. Primal Beast will make space, but Tinker often uses it to farm even more instead of grouping. By the time Tinker is ready to fight, the window for Primal Beast to dominate the mid-game may have already closed, leaving him underfarmed and unable to effectively initiate.
