Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Tidehunter wins the Ember Spirit vs Tidehunter matchup: Tidehunter beats Ember Spirit in 50.74% of 881 ranked matches.
Playing as Ember Spirit against Tidehunter feels incredibly frustrating because your main tools are disabled. Searing Chains, your primary method for holding someone in place for a kill, is almost instantly dispelled by Tidehunter’s Kraken Shell passive. This makes it nearly impossible to secure solo kills on him or even set up effective ganks. Tidehunter's immense natural tankiness also allows him to absorb Flame Guard damage and continue farming without much concern. Later in the game, if Ember Spirit tries to initiate with Fire Remnant, it's an open invitation for a game-winning Ravage that will lock him down and kill him before he can escape, completely neutralizing his split-push and teamfight presence.
