How Storm Spirit and Tinker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Storm Spirit and Tinker win 32.18% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 87 matches.
Fighting over mid lane priority is the first problem for this duo. Both Storm Spirit and Tinker are extremely greedy cores who need a lot of early farm and experience to hit their timings. Forcing one out of their ideal lane slows them down significantly. Their teamfight plans also clash. Storm wants to dive deep into the backline with Ball Lightning to find a kill, but Tinker offers very little follow-up for these aggressive plays, preferring to stay far away and spam spells. This leaves Storm isolated and vulnerable. The draft ends up with two resource-intensive magic damage dealers who compete for space and fail to cover each other's weaknesses.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
