How Batrider and Tusk perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Batrider and Tusk win 41.99% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 836 matches.
Picking both Batrider and Tusk can create an overlap in your draft, as both heroes want to be the primary initiator. Their plans for starting a fight don't always line up. Tusk is looking to charge in with Snowball, while Batrider wants to find a clean flank for a Flaming Lasso. If Tusk starts the fight, it can become too chaotic for Batrider to isolate the ideal target. Tusk’s Ice Shards, while a strong spell, can even accidentally block the drag path, saving an enemy from a successful Lasso. They can still overwhelm a single hero with their combined lockdown, but the setup often feels redundant and less smooth than pairing either of them with a simpler, more direct form of follow-up.

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.
