How Lone Druid and Riki perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lone Druid and Riki win 47.85% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 163 matches.
Playing against this pair feels like a no-win situation. Riki's Smoke Screen creates a zone where supports can't cast spells and carries miss their attacks. Lone Druid takes full advantage of this by sending his Spirit Bear to stand inside the smoke and maul anyone caught there, often locking them down with an Entangle. The opposing team has to split their focus between the very tanky, visible threat of the bear and the burst damage coming from an invisible Riki. This constant two-front pressure makes teamfights incredibly messy and difficult to coordinate. If you commit resources to kill Riki, the bear gets free rein; if you try to kite the bear, Riki cleans up your backline.
