How Sven and Techies perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Sven and Techies win 51.80% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 8,813 matches.
Pairing Sven and Techies together is a bet on a very specific kind of fight. The idea is that Sven’s Storm Hammer can hold someone in place long enough for Techies to land their damage. Techies can also use Blast Off! to silence a key target right as Sven activates God’s Strength, preventing an escape and securing a kill. The problem is that their core plans can conflict. Sven wants to run at the enemy team and fight head-on, while Techies excels at punishing enemies who move into his prepared territory. This can lead to them wanting to fight in completely different ways.
A successful game sees Techies creating chaos and space, allowing Sven to farm safely. Later, they can coordinate their stuns and silences to blow up isolated heroes. When it goes wrong, Techies’ early aggression fails to secure advantages, leaving Sven vulnerable on the map with a support who offers little direct protection. Teamfights become awkward, with Sven trying to initiate while the enemy simply walks around the mines and kites him. The two end up playing separate games, which rarely results in a coordinated victory.
