How Riki and Treant Protector perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Riki and Treant Protector win 51.95% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 589 matches.
Putting a Riki with a melee support often feels like a liability in lane, but Treant Protector makes it work. Living Armor gives Riki the durability he needs to trade and survive early aggression. Once they have their ultimates, the combo is straightforward: Overgrowth roots enemies in place, guaranteeing they get stuck inside a full-duration Smoke Screen. This gives Riki free reign to attack without any return fire. We haven't seen this pairing much lately, so its effectiveness might not be what it once was.
