How Dark Seer and Riki perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Seer and Riki win 49.28% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 209 matches.
Teamfights become incredibly difficult for the enemy. Dark Seer pulls multiple heroes together with Vacuum, setting up a perfect Tricks of the Trade for Riki. While Riki is channeling, he can be a delivery system for Ion Shell, dealing even more area damage. If the fight gets messy, Riki can drop Smoke Screen and continue burning people with Ion Shell while invisible, making him a nightmare to pin down. Dark Seer can also use Surge on Riki to guarantee a key initiation or a clean escape. This combination creates layers of damage and disruption that are extremely hard for most lineups to manage, especially after the laning stage.
