How Nature's Prophet and Tidehunter perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Nature's Prophet and Tidehunter win 40.87% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 942 matches.
Facing this pair often feels like you're playing two separate games at once, and it's rarely a good thing for them. Tidehunter's entire game plan revolves around grouping his team to land a huge, fight-winning Ravage. Nature's Prophet, however, is designed to do the opposite. He uses Teleportation to apply pressure across the map, forcing enemies to split up and avoiding the very five-on-five brawls that Tidehunter needs to win the game. This fundamental conflict in strategy means one hero is constantly undermining the other's ideal scenario.
As the game progresses, this disconnect becomes more obvious. Tidehunter will find the perfect opening, but the necessary follow-up from Nature's Prophet is busy hitting a tower on the other side of the map. If Nature's Prophet does group up for the fight, he's not using his global pressure, effectively making him a much weaker hero. Opponents can exploit this by either taking the undermanned fight against Tidehunter's team or ganging up on the isolated Nature's Prophet. The draft simply pulls the team in two opposite directions.
