How Brewmaster and Riki perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Brewmaster and Riki win 53.15% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 4,397 matches.
A lot of players see these two as having separate jobs, but Brewmaster creates the perfect cover for Riki. Once Primal Split is used, the enemy team is overwhelmed trying to manage three different units, stuns, and slows. This chaos gives Riki total freedom of movement. He can wait for a Brewling to corner a support, then Blink Strike for the kill. A well-placed Smoke Screen on heroes already slowed by Cinder Brew leaves them unable to cast spells or fight back effectively. By the time the enemy team realizes where Riki is, their backline is already gone.
