Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Visage wins the Riki vs Visage matchup: Visage beats Riki in 53.54% of 127 ranked matches.
A common mistake is thinking Visage can rely on his Familiars to deal with a melee assassin. The reality is that Riki doesn't need to fight the birds; he goes directly for Visage. Riki's fast, repeated attacks from abilities like Tricks of the Trade are ideal for quickly burning through the layers of Gravekeeper's Cloak. While Smoke Screen doesn't affect the magic-immune Familiars, it silences Visage himself, preventing him from using Grave Chill to escape or Soul Assumption to fight back. Once his defensive layers are gone and he's stuck in the silence, Visage is incredibly squishy and easy to bring down, rendering his Familiars useless.
