How Templar Assassin and Weaver perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Templar Assassin and Weaver win 40.34% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 290 matches.
Putting two slippery physical damage heroes on the same team sounds like a recipe for overwhelming the enemy, but in practice, it creates significant problems. Templar Assassin wants to blow up a single target from stealth with a Meld strike, which requires some kind of setup or hard disable to guarantee. Weaver, on the other hand, is all about sustained damage and kiting with Shukuchi, and he needs a durable frontline to create space for him to work. Neither hero provides what the other desperately wants, leaving both of them to fend for themselves without the support they need to be effective.
This dynamic makes for a difficult game at all stages. Laning becomes a struggle as both heroes are fragile and lack the tools to secure kills on their own. As the game progresses, your team composition will feel hollow, missing both a reliable initiator and a core who can stand their ground. Fights often devolve into Templar Assassin and Weaver playing separate games, each hoping for a solo pickoff instead of executing a coordinated attack. Against a team with any decent control or durability, they're easily isolated and burst down one by one.
