How Batrider and Night Stalker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Batrider and Night Stalker win 42.35% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 85 matches.
Picking these two heroes together is a big bet on dominating the first night cycle. Their game plan is straightforward: Batrider finds an angle with Firefly and uses Flaming Lasso to drag a victim back to the team. With his high speed from Hunter in the Night, Night Stalker is already there, ready to apply Void and Crippling Fear to ensure the kill. The issue is that both heroes essentially fill the same initiator role and rely on a strong early-mid game. If the enemy team plays safe and weathers the storm, this duo's main power spike can pass without enough of an advantage, making the outcome feel very all-or-nothing.
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.
