Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Witch Doctor wins the Tidehunter vs Witch Doctor matchup: Witch Doctor beats Tidehunter in 54.31% of 44,359 ranked matches.
Trying to channel Death Ward against a Tidehunter is a tense experience. He has the perfect tool to stop it, as Ravage can lock down Witch Doctor from a huge area and end the channel instantly. This often forces the Witch Doctor to play from much farther back than he’d like, waiting for Tidehunter to commit. On the other hand, Tidehunter makes for a big, slow target. If he gets caught by Maledict before a fight, a well-placed Death Ward can melt him regardless of his tankiness. His Kraken Shell can shrug off stuns, but it won't save him from focused physical damage if he’s the first one to be initiated on.
