How Terrorblade and Tusk perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Terrorblade and Tusk win 46.94% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,529 matches.
Picking these two heroes together creates a conflict in game plan. Tusk wants to be aggressive from the start, running around the map to set up kills with Snowball and his other disables. He thrives on early action and forcing the enemy to react. Terrorblade, on the other hand, needs a quiet game to farm with illusions and hit his item timings before he can fight effectively. Tusk’s brawling style can force engagements that Terrorblade isn't ready to join, leaving the team to fight without their carry. While a well-timed Snowball can save Terrorblade from a gank, this small benefit rarely outweighs the fact that their core strategies pull the team in opposite directions.
