How Templar Assassin and Tidehunter perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Templar Assassin and Tidehunter win 44.10% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 619 matches.
Controlling the map early is where these two heroes have conflicting ideas. Templar Assassin wants to hit a quick power spike and immediately translate that into pickoffs, towers, and Roshan. Her entire game is about snowballing. Tidehunter is a much slower hero who is content to farm until he has the items needed for a big teamfight ultimate. He doesn't provide the kind of aggressive, single-target lockdown that helps TA secure her first crucial kills, and she doesn't really want to group for the five-on-five brawls that Tidehunter is building towards.
This often leads to a disconnected mid-game. Templar Assassin will be trying to make solo plays with Psionic Traps and Meld, but Tidehunter's Ravage is too valuable to use for a simple gank. The result is two heroes playing their own separate games for too long. By the time Tidehunter is ready to group up and force fights with his Blink Dagger, TA's ideal window to dominate might be closing, or she may have fallen behind from a lack of early support for her aggressive moves.
