How Templar Assassin and Tinker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Templar Assassin and Tinker win 43.26% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 282 matches.
Drafting both Templar Assassin and Tinker often forces your team into a difficult position. Both heroes are natural mid-laners who want to accelerate their farm and take over the map. Placing them on the same team creates a massive competition for resources, as they both want to be the one clearing jungle stacks and pushing out lanes. While a Psionic Trap can provide a slow to help land Tinker's spells, this duo offers no hard stuns or reliable initiation. The result is a fragile composition that needs other heroes to provide all the lockdown and frontline presence. This usually means one of the two cores will be starved for farm and space, falling behind before they can hit their crucial item timings.
