How Death Prophet and Riki perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Death Prophet and Riki win 53.94% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 343 matches.
Stacking Riki's Smoke Screen with Death Prophet's own Silence offers little benefit, and this redundancy extends to their general game plans. Death Prophet wants to group her team, press forward with Exorcism, and siege objectives. This forces a structured, front-to-back fight where she can drain targets with Spirit Siphon. Riki, on the other hand, excels at creating chaos and picking off stragglers on the flank. He doesn't offer the lockdown DP needs to keep enemies in her spells, and she can't really contribute to his solo ganks. They often end up fighting two separate battles instead of one coordinated one.
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.
