How Spectre and Templar Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Spectre and Templar Assassin win 44.59% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 314 matches.
Drafting these two cores together is a bet that your Templar Assassin can create enough mid-game pressure to carry the map. A successful TA draws attention and forces rotations, which is exactly the space a farming Spectre needs to get her core items. The vision from Psionic Traps can also set up Spectre's Haunt, letting her jump an isolated hero that TA can then instantly burst with a Meld strike. The whole plan is fragile, though. If Templar Assassin can't secure an early advantage and start her snowball, the game often ends before Spectre is strong enough to matter, leaving her to face a five-man push all alone.
