Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Wraith King wins the Wraith King vs Tidehunter matchup: Wraith King beats Tidehunter in 52.87% of 1,725 ranked matches.
Fighting for map control in this matchup often ends in a draw. Tidehunter’s kit is theoretically perfect for handling Wraith King. Kraken Shell shrugs off the Wraithfire Blast stun, and Anchor Smash cripples the king's physical damage output, making a straight man-fight difficult. The problem is Tidehunter's ultimate. Committing a long-cooldown Ravage to kill Wraith King once often backfires. He simply resurrects via Reincarnation while Tidehunter is left with no trump card, turning the ensuing teamfight into a difficult situation for his team.
This dynamic creates a game of chicken centered on team coordination. Wraith King’s plan is to accelerate his farm, build an item lead that can power through Anchor Smash, and then force fights to bait out the Ravage. He wants Tidehunter to waste that ultimate on him alone. A patient Tidehunter will refuse this invitation. His goal is to stick with his team and wait for the perfect moment to land a multi-hero Ravage, ensuring that when Wraith King does come back for his second life, his allies are already dead or running for the fountain.
