How Arc Warden and Riki perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Arc Warden and Riki win 54.62% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,959 matches.
Deciding to run both Riki and Arc Warden on the same team means committing to a game of map control over direct teamfight combos. Their strengths don't overlap much. Riki's roaming creates chaos and makes space, which can allow Arc Warden's Tempest Double to split-push more safely. The problem is that when a full fight breaks out, they have different goals. Riki wants to get on top of a target inside his Smoke Screen, but Arc Warden's main tools like Magnetic Field are defensive and meant for kiting from a distance. Neither hero provides the reliable lockdown that the other needs, so they often end up fighting separate battles within the same skirmish.
