How Keeper of the Light and Riki perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Keeper of the Light and Riki win 53.98% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 402 matches.
Thinking of this pair as a simple laning duo misses the point. The real power comes from how Keeper of the Light enables Riki across the entire map. Constant mana from Chakra Magic means Riki never has to slow down; he can spam Blink Strike and Tricks of the Trade to accelerate his farm and apply relentless pressure without ever needing to go to base. A well-timed Recall can bring Riki into a fight from across the map, turning a solo gank into a decisive teamfight win. KotL essentially removes Riki's main weakness—his small mana pool—and lets him play at a pace few heroes can match.
