Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Tidehunter wins the Puck vs Tidehunter matchup: Tidehunter beats Puck in 54.23% of 9,690 ranked matches.
Thinking you can control Tidehunter with a Waning Rift or Dream Coil is a trap. His Kraken Shell will often dispel the silence or the leash, letting him walk out of trouble or turn the fight around completely. Puck, on the other hand, has a very hard time dealing with Tidehunter's own initiation. Ravage covers such a massive area that even with Illusory Orb and Phase Shift, getting caught is a constant threat for the entire game.
Early on, this means Puck can't bully or kill Tidehunter in lane; Tide is too durable and can shrug off the harassment. Later, Puck is forced to play incredibly carefully. A Blink Dagger on Tidehunter means he can be initiated on from anywhere, and a single Ravage is usually a death sentence. Puck is relegated to a reactive role, waiting for Tidehunter to use his ultimate before feeling safe enough to commit. This passivity severely limits what Puck can accomplish for his team.
