How Gyrocopter and Riki perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Gyrocopter and Riki win 42.60% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 223 matches.
Pairing Riki's Smoke Screen with Gyrocopter's area damage seems like a simple way to win a teamfight. In practice, their abilities are a little too similar to be a strong combo. Riki provides a silence, but what Gyrocopter really needs is a hard stun to hold enemies under his Call Down. Enemies can often reposition or use items to get out of the damage zones. Both heroes want to deal a lot of damage in an area, but neither one brings the lockdown needed to guarantee it. They end up fighting separate battles, with Riki focusing the backline while Gyrocopter has to kite the enemy frontline, leading to a lack of focus fire.
