How Lone Druid and Tidehunter perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lone Druid and Tidehunter win 47.23% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,164 matches.
Landing a big Ravage gives Lone Druid a perfect window to do his job. With the enemy team stunned, the Spirit Bear can get into position and start hitting a priority target without being kited or disabled. If Tidehunter also lands a Gush, the armor reduction makes the bear's physical attacks even more effective, helping to secure a quick kill before the stun wears off. It's a straightforward but effective way to start a teamfight on your own terms.
The game plan is to have Tidehunter initiate and create space while Lone Druid provides the sustained follow-up damage to win the fight. After a successful engagement, the duo is particularly good at converting that advantage into objectives. The Spirit Bear can shred towers or help take Roshan quickly, securing map control. The pairing is a bit dependent on landing that big teamfight ultimate, and clever opponents will try to play around its cooldown, but the plan is solid when it comes together.
