How Batrider and Hoodwink perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Batrider and Hoodwink win 40.42% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,227 matches.
Facing this duo often feels less threatening than it looks on paper. The core problem is that Batrider's initiation actively works against Hoodwink's setup. A hero being dragged by Flaming Lasso is a moving target, which makes landing a pixel-perfect Bushwhack or a fully charged Sharpshooter incredibly difficult. The Lasso drag might even pull the enemy away from the trees Hoodwink needs to land her stun. Both heroes want to provide lockdown and burst from the edges of a fight, but their spell timings and positioning requirements clash. The result is often a messy gank where neither hero can execute their combo cleanly, allowing the target to survive.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
