How Storm Spirit and Tiny perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Storm Spirit and Tiny win 41.60% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 10,401 matches.
Coordinating a kill on a single target is surprisingly difficult. The core issue is how their lockdowns interact: Storm Spirit uses Electric Vortex to pull and hold an enemy in place for a burst, while Tiny's instinct is to use Toss, which repositions that same enemy. This clash often saves the target. Furthermore, both heroes excel as mid-game tempo cores who need significant farm and levels, creating a direct competition for map resources from the start of the game.
This tension means their mid-game power spikes don't align. Instead of one hero hitting a strong timing to create space, you have two heroes fighting for the farm needed to get there, slowing the whole team down. In teamfights, Storm Spirit is forced to play around Tiny’s unpredictable displacements, often looking for solo pick-offs on the fringe of the fight rather than executing a coordinated jump. Tiny is left trying to set up plays for a partner who fundamentally doesn't need that kind of setup.
