Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Tidehunter wins the Lion vs Tidehunter matchup: Tidehunter beats Lion in 52.63% of 3,272 ranked matches.
Trying to lock down Tidehunter is a losing battle for Lion. The moment he takes enough damage, Kraken Shell activates and dispels Lion's Hex or Earth Spike, completely breaking the combo. This leaves Lion exposed and out of position, an easy target for Anchor Smash and a follow-up Ravage. Even a full Finger of Death often isn't enough to finish Tidehunter off from a high health total, and channeling Mana Drain is a death sentence against a hero who can close the gap so easily. With his control unreliable and his burst insufficient, Lion struggles to have any meaningful impact on the durable frontline Tidehunter provides.
