How Magnus and Tidehunter perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Magnus and Tidehunter win 49.49% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 5,837 matches.
Stacking Reverse Polarity and Ravage together is tempting, but it's usually overkill. The real strength here is having two separate, game-winning ultimates. You can use one to secure Roshan, then still have the other ready to defend high ground a minute later. This gives your team a lot of control over the mid-game tempo. A more consistent benefit comes from Magnus casting Empower on Tidehunter. It boosts Tide's farming speed and makes his Anchor Smash a serious threat in teamfights, letting him cleave down supports while he soaks up damage on the frontline.
Across the game, this duo gives you options rather than raw power. The success of the draft depends on using those options wisely. Your team can force fights, knowing you have a backup ultimate if the first engagement doesn't go perfectly. The enemy, however, knows this too. They will try to bait out one big spell and then reset, forcing you to play defensively while you wait for cooldowns. If your team misuses one of these ultimates, the enemy gets a huge window to take objectives. The whole game becomes a careful dance around these two long cooldowns.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
