Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Riki wins the Brewmaster vs Riki matchup: Riki beats Brewmaster in 53.78% of 119 ranked matches.
Thinking Drunken Brawler's evasion will save you from Riki is a common trap. A huge portion of his damage comes from Tricks of the Trade, which hits regardless of evasion. The real problem for Brewmaster, however, is Primal Split. A well-placed Smoke Screen can silence the Storm Panda, preventing it from dispelling crucial debuffs or using its Cyclone. Without that utility, the pandas are much easier to handle. Riki is also great at picking off the individual spirits one by one, especially with an early Skull Basher, leaving Brewmaster vulnerable and exposed when he reforms. It's a tough matchup for Brewmaster at almost every stage.
