How Batrider and Riki perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Batrider and Riki win 45.19% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 894 matches.
Creating map pressure with two active heroes can stretch resources thin, as both Batrider and Riki often need the same farm and gank opportunities to hit their timings. On paper, dragging an enemy with Flaming Lasso into a waiting Smoke Screen is a clean kill. The issue is that they both excel at the same job: single-target pickoffs. This overlap means they can feel redundant. If that one strategy of catching a solo hero fails or the enemy team plays together, the duo lacks a strong alternative plan for teamfights. This makes their combined impact very situational and often less reliable than it might appear.
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.
