Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Riki wins the Riki vs Tusk matchup: Riki beats Tusk in 51.80% of 417 ranked matches.
Thinking Tusk's high-burst combo is good for blowing up a squishy hero is a common trap. The reality is that Riki has multiple ways to ruin his day. Even with good detection, landing a Walrus PUNCH! is difficult when Riki can dodge it with Tricks of the Trade or simply Blink Strike away before it connects. The Ice Shards trap doesn't work either, since he can jump right over it. Meanwhile, a melee hero like Tusk is incredibly vulnerable inside Smoke Screen, unable to cast spells and missing his attacks. Riki usually dictates the terms of the fight, waiting for Tusk to commit and then turning the engagement around.
