Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Tidehunter wins the Keeper of the Light vs Tidehunter matchup: Tidehunter beats Keeper of the Light in 50.53% of 849 ranked matches.
Playing from the back lines as Keeper of the Light feels unsafe when a Tidehunter is on the other team. Your goal is to provide sustained damage with Illuminate and control fights with Blinding Light, but Tidehunter makes this difficult. He’s incredibly tanky, so your harass doesn't stick, and his Kraken Shell can shrug off slows you might have. More importantly, a good Ravage can completely lock you down from a screen away, long before you can react with a pushback or a Ghost Scepter. While you can sometimes catch him out of position or play around his long cooldown, Tidehunter's simple, effective initiation is a consistent threat to your game plan.
