Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chaos Knight wins the Chaos Knight vs Grimstroke matchup: Chaos Knight beats Grimstroke in 52.18% of 3,689 ranked matches.
A well-placed Soulbind can turn Chaos Knight’s own offensive against his team. When he tries to Reality Rift and burst a target, that single-target damage gets copied to the leashed hero, which can be disastrous. Grimstroke's Ink Swell also provides a reliable stun to interrupt CK's aggression. On the other hand, Chaos Knight is built to find and delete a hero like Grimstroke before any of that matters. If CK gets the jump, Grimstroke often dies before he can react. Phantasm illusions further complicate things by creating multiple threats, making it hard for Grimstroke to position safely and choose the right target.
