Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chaos Knight wins the Chaos Knight vs Dark Willow matchup: Chaos Knight beats Dark Willow in 54.18% of 3,156 ranked matches.
Getting jumped by a Chaos Knight is a specific problem for Dark Willow. His Reality Rift guarantees he can get on top of you, forcing an immediate reaction. You have the tools to survive: Shadow Realm can dodge the initial burst, and Bramble Maze or Terrorize can create space for an escape. The issue is that CK’s Phantasm illusions are often enough to overwhelm you before you can get away, and he can even dispel Cursed Crown by casting his ultimate. He forces you to burn your big defensive cooldowns to survive his gap-close, which gives his team an opening even if he doesn’t land the kill himself.
