Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Riki wins the Earth Spirit vs Riki matchup: Riki beats Earth Spirit in 52.93% of 376 ranked matches.
Getting caught in a Smoke Screen leaves Earth Spirit with few options. The silence prevents him from using Rolling Boulder to escape or Geomagnetic Grip to pull an ally for help, often leading to a quick death. Outside of that spell, Riki is simply a difficult hero for Earth Spirit to pin down. With good timing, Tricks of the Trade can dodge the initial stun or silence attempt. While a well-played Earth Spirit with good vision can certainly lock Riki down, the burden of execution is on him. Riki's natural invisibility gives him the initiative in most ganks, letting him dictate the terms of engagement.
