Tiny + Warlock

Why this works

Teamfights with this pair often feel disjointed because their core abilities work against each other. Warlock wants to link enemies with Fatal Bonds and keep them grouped inside Upheaval for slow, sustained area damage. Tiny’s entire game plan is to isolate one hero with Toss and instantly delete them with his Avalanche combo. This single-target burst from Tiny is so fast that the shared damage from Fatal Bonds barely has time to spread. Worse, his Toss can throw a key target out of Warlock's slow field, completely wasting the setup.

This core conflict in their kits makes it difficult to play the game cohesively. In the mid-game, Tiny wants to find aggressive pickoffs, but Warlock is too slow to effectively support that fast-paced style. The team is forced to choose between playing for Tiny's burst initiations or setting up for a slow, grinding fight around Warlock's Golem, and they rarely manage to do either one well. Opponents can exploit this lack of coordination, knowing that the duo can't lock down and focus a target together.
