Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Riki wins the Nyx Assassin vs Riki matchup: Riki beats Nyx Assassin in 51.27% of 20,495 ranked matches.
Getting caught by Riki feels especially bad because his Smoke Screen often lands before you can react. That silence means Nyx Assassin can’t use Impale or Mana Burn, and critically, it stops him from activating Spiked Carapace to turn the gank. While Carapace is a great tool for punishing physical damage, it does nothing if you're silenced before you can press the button. This interaction forces the Nyx to rely on positioning and his team's detection more than his own kit, giving Riki the advantage in many one-on-one encounters across the map.
