Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chaos Knight wins the Chaos Knight vs Drow Ranger matchup: Chaos Knight beats Drow Ranger in 56.68% of 12,623 ranked matches.
Closing the distance is the key to this matchup. Chaos Knight excels at this with Reality Rift, and getting close to Drow Ranger is especially effective because it disables her Marksmanship. This removes a massive amount of her damage output right as the fight begins. Once he's on top of her, Chaos Knight can use Phantasm to create illusions that Drow has no effective way to clear. She's forced to guess at the real hero while being surrounded by high-damage copies.
The fight isn't guaranteed, though. It all depends on Chaos Knight getting a clean jump. A well-positioned Drow Ranger with good vision can see him coming and kite him with Frost Arrows. If she gets a Force Staff or Hurricane Pike, she can survive the initial Reality Rift and create space again. Her Gust can also push him and his illusions away, buying her time. The game becomes a contest of Chaos Knight's initiation versus Drow's positioning and ability to kite.
