How Riki and Ringmaster perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Riki and Ringmaster win 50.89% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,103 matches.
Drafting Riki and Ringmaster together hinges on executing one specific combo. Ringmaster can use his hypnotic pull to group enemies, creating a perfect setup for Riki's ultimate. When it works, it's a clean way to burst down a key target. The problem is that both heroes can be quite fragile, and the setup demands good timing. If Ringmaster’s initiation is dodged or Riki isn't in position, the fight often falls apart. This pairing offers a strong ganking tool but doesn't provide much durability or a reliable frontline, making the draft as a whole a bit of a gamble against sturdier teams.
