Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Tidehunter wins the Queen of Pain vs Tidehunter matchup: Tidehunter beats Queen of Pain in 53.04% of 12,201 ranked matches.
Trying to unload a full combo on Tidehunter feels awful as Queen of Pain. All that magical burst from Scream of Pain and Sonic Wave seems to evaporate the moment it lands. His Kraken Shell passive is the reason why; it triggers from the high initial damage, significantly reducing the follow-up and cleansing away slows like Shadow Strike. This means Queen of Pain’s primary tools for assassination are directly countered by his core defensive ability, leaving her without a good way to threaten him.
As the game progresses, the problem gets worse. Once Tidehunter has his key items, he dictates the fight. His Ravage can easily catch a blinking Queen of Pain, locking her down for an easy kill. She’s forced to play on the outskirts of any engagement, unable to commit on a target for fear of being disabled and deleted. She has to ignore the massive frontliner and hope to pick off a support, but Tidehunter’s presence makes even that a risky proposition.
