Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Riki wins the Riki vs Timbersaw matchup: Riki beats Timbersaw in 57.89% of 323 ranked matches.
Fighting inside a Smoke Screen leaves Timbersaw completely helpless. The silence means he can’t use Timber Chain to get away or cast any of his damage spells. He’s stuck taking hits, and while this builds his Reactive Armor, he can’t do anything with the extra tankiness. Riki also naturally builds items that drain mana, which is a major problem for Timbersaw who needs a lot of it to function. Granted, we haven't seen this pairing much lately, so it's possible playstyles have shifted to compensate.
