In Dota 2 7.41f, Crystal Maiden wins the Crystal Maiden vs Tidehunter matchup: Crystal Maiden beats Tidehunter in 52.48% of 44,829 ranked matches.
Canceling Freezing Field with Ravage seems like it should make this an easy matchup, but the reality is more complicated. Tidehunter has the tools to shut Crystal Maiden down; Ravage is an instant answer to her ultimate, and Kraken Shell lets him shrug off a Frostbite. The problem for Tidehunter is that his answers are on long cooldowns. Using a teamfight-winning ultimate to stop one spell can be a bad trade. Meanwhile, Crystal Maiden’s constant slows can make it difficult for Tidehunter to position correctly for his own initiation, leaving him vulnerable.
The dynamic creates a constant mind game in teamfights. A good Crystal Maiden will position herself far in the back, forcing Tidehunter to decide between using Ravage on her team's frontline or holding it for her channel. If he initiates on others, she gets a free ultimate. If he waits for her, her team might win the fight while his biggest spell is offline. This forces Tidehunter to either commit to diving the backline to find Crystal Maiden early or risk her having a major impact after he's used his spells. The outcome often depends on which player better anticipates the other's commitment.
