How Ringmaster and Templar Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ringmaster and Templar Assassin win 47.63% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 422 matches.
Facing this duo often feels less threatening than it should. The core problem is that Ringmaster’s main crowd control involves pulling or repositioning enemies with his hypnotic abilities. This forced movement actively works against what Templar Assassin needs to secure a kill. She excels at deleting a target that is held perfectly still, letting her land a clean Meld strike with followup attacks. When Ringmaster yanks a target around the lane, it frequently pulls them out of Templar Assassin's pre-planned attack spot, ruining her angle or even her attack range entirely. This lack of reliable, static lockdown means their kill attempts often fall apart from simple miscoordination.
