How Riki and Tidehunter perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Riki and Tidehunter win 51.74% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 603 matches.
Taking over the map after a single teamfight becomes a real possibility. This duo provides the tools to win fights so decisively that it opens up objectives and denies the enemy team safe places to farm. The main reason is how well Tidehunter sets up for Riki. A big Ravage locks down multiple heroes, creating the perfect window for Riki to use a full Tricks of the Trade without being interrupted or targeted. Gush also strips away armor, making everyone in the fight much softer targets for Riki's physical damage. A follow-up Smoke Screen on the stunned enemies seals the deal, preventing any retaliation if they survive the initial burst.
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.
