How Puck and Tiny perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Puck and Tiny win 45.07% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 284 matches.
Trying to coordinate their control is the main problem here. Puck's Dream Coil is meant to lock down a wide area, forcing enemies to stay put. Tiny, however, wants to isolate one hero and blow them up with his Avalanche and Toss combo. This very often results in Tiny tossing an enemy out of the coil, which breaks the leash and gives that hero a free stun and a way to escape. The goals are contradictory: Puck wants to contain everyone, while Tiny wants to violently reposition a single target, and his combo often sabotages Puck's ultimate.
This conflict of interest creates clear openings for the opposing team. After Puck lands a big Dream Coil, opponents know Tiny is looking to use his single-target burst. A core can intentionally position to bait the Toss, knowing it's their best chance to be thrown to safety and break the leash. For the duo to function, the Tiny player needs exceptional discipline to hold his abilities until the coil stuns have already triggered. More often, the instinct to delete a hero takes over and the fight falls apart.
