Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Night Stalker wins the Night Stalker vs Tidehunter matchup: Night Stalker beats Tidehunter in 53.22% of 23,653 ranked matches.
Considering a Tidehunter pick means you have to account for getting silenced at the worst possible moment. Night Stalker is great at making that happen, especially at night. A well-timed Crippling Fear can prevent Ravage entirely, taking away your main teamfight contribution right when it matters most. This can decide a fight before it even properly starts. While Tidehunter is incredibly durable and Kraken Shell can shrug off slows or other single-target spells, it does nothing against that silence. You're left as a big, tanky target who can't use his ultimate, forcing your team to find other ways to start a fight around Night Stalker's aggression.
