How Tusk and Visage perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Tusk and Visage win 61.25% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 160 matches.
Putting Visage inside a Snowball is a decent way to initiate a gank, getting him on top of a target to use Soul Assumption and his familiars. Tusk can then use Ice Shards to keep the hero in place for the first few attacks. However, their combined lockdown is short-lived. If the initial burst of damage isn't enough to secure the kill, both heroes can find themselves in a bad spot. After the first few seconds, Tusk and Visage don't offer each other much beyond what they already do on their own. Their plans hinge on executing a fast, aggressive mid-game, but they don't cover each other's weaknesses very well if that plan fails.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
