Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Tidehunter wins the Earth Spirit vs Tidehunter matchup: Tidehunter beats Earth Spirit in 50.92% of 758 ranked matches.
Kicking Tidehunter into your team feels like the right play, but it's often a trap. His natural bulk and Kraken Shell make him impossible to burst down quickly, so he just shrugs off the initial disable and damage. After Earth Spirit commits his spells on the initiation, Tidehunter is free to walk up and land a perfect Ravage with little threat of being interrupted or controlled. Earth Spirit lacks the sustained damage or lockdown to deal with him afterward, and he can't effectively peel for his backline when Tidehunter starts hitting everyone with Anchor Smash. An ideal setup for Earth Spirit against most heroes ends up giving Tidehunter the perfect opening to counter-initiate and win the teamfight.
