How Mars and Tidehunter perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Mars and Tidehunter win 32.35% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 102 matches.
Using both Ravage and Arena of Blood in the same fight often means wasting a major cooldown. Tidehunter’s stun already holds everyone in place, so trapping them inside Mars's Arena right after is redundant. This overlap extends to their general game plan. Both heroes want to occupy the same space on the team: the durable, frontline initiator who buys a Blink Dagger and controls the tempo. With Mars and Tidehunter on the same side, they compete for farm priority and their roles become awkward. The team ends up with two similar tools for starting a fight, often leaving a critical gap in damage or save.
