How Sven and Tinker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Sven and Tinker win 47.23% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 650 matches.
Giving the whole team bonus armor and speed with Warcry is a core part of Sven's game, but Tinker is almost never around to receive the buff. This points to the real issue: Sven wants to group up and end the game, especially after he gets his core items. Tinker’s entire strategy, however, involves splitting the map, farming aggressively, and avoiding full-on teamfights. This frequently means Sven is forced into four-versus-five engagements or has to stall his own timings waiting for a mid laner who wants to play a solo game. Their plans for winning are fundamentally at odds, leaving Sven without the solid frontline backup he needs to close things out.
