How Storm Spirit and Tusk perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Storm Spirit and Tusk win 43.77% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 13,541 matches.
Trying to coordinate a gank often feels awkward with this duo. Storm Spirit needs a partner who can provide long, reliable lockdown to hold a target in place for his full combo. Tusk’s kit, however, offers mostly short-duration stuns and displacement. Using Snowball to set up for Storm is slow and gives the enemy team time to react or reposition, negating Storm's instant gap-close. While Tusk is a strong brawler, his specific tools don't give Storm Spirit the clean setup he wants to secure kills and begin snowballing. They often end up fighting near each other rather than with each other, leading to overlapping roles without a clear benefit.
