Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Zeus wins the Tidehunter vs Zeus matchup: Zeus beats Tidehunter in 51.14% of 40,404 ranked matches.
Deciding whether to pick one hero into the other often hinges on your team's ability to follow up. Zeus has an easy time chipping away at Tidehunter's large health pool from a safe distance. Kraken Shell is good at shrugging off burst, but it offers less protection from the steady stream of low-cooldown magic damage that Zeus puts out. Tidehunter is slow and struggles to close the distance on his own, making him an easy target for chain lightning and bolts from the sky.
The fight flips completely once Tidehunter finds his initiation. A successful Blink Dagger into Ravage can easily lock Zeus down for a kill, as he's fragile and lacks any innate escape. Because of this, games often come down to positioning. Zeus will try to poke from the outside, whittling Tidehunter down before a fight can start. Tidehunter's team needs to provide vision and cover for him to find that one perfect opening that turns a fight around.
