How Templar Assassin and Ursa perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Templar Assassin and Ursa win 41.96% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 224 matches.
Itemizing against this lineup feels too straightforward for the enemy team. An early Ghost Scepter or Heaven's Halberd can feel like it shuts down both of your main damage dealers at the same time. Templar Assassin and Ursa are both tempo cores that want to snowball with physical burst, but they don't really help each other do it. They both want to be the one blinking on a target, but neither brings the hard lockdown the other needs to guarantee a kill. Ursa needs someone held in place to stack up Fury Swipes, and TA wants a clean Meld strike after a fight has already been started. They end up competing for farm, the Aegis, and the same job in teamfights.
