How Gyrocopter and Tidehunter perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Gyrocopter and Tidehunter win 35.29% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 374 matches.
Picking these two heroes feels like a classic, reliable plan, but their core abilities don't mesh as well as they seem. Tidehunter's Ravage provides a huge window of control, but Gyrocopter's damage isn't a single, overwhelming burst. He needs time to get his spells off and land multiple attacks with Flak Cannon. This means his peak damage happens over a longer period than the Ravage stun lasts. Once the control ends, Gyrocopter is still a fragile, short-range hero who has to deal with the surviving enemies up close.
This forces the duo into one predictable strategy: land a perfect Ravage and hope it's enough. Opponents know this is the only real plan and will itemize to survive the initial burst with saves or magic immunity. If that one big attempt doesn't win the fight outright, the tables turn quickly. After his ultimate is on cooldown, Tidehunter offers little protection for Gyrocopter, leaving the carry exposed and vulnerable to any enemies who withstood the initial combo.
