Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Crystal Maiden wins the Crystal Maiden vs Dragon Knight matchup: Crystal Maiden beats Dragon Knight in 53.95% of 849 ranked matches.
Choosing Dragon Knight into this matchup often requires a specific plan for dealing with teamfights. Crystal Maiden fundamentally counters what a hero like Dragon Knight wants to do: walk at the enemy. Her entire kit is built to kite and punish slow-moving melee heroes. A simple Crystal Nova makes it a struggle for him to connect with a target, and Frostbite can leave him completely stranded and exposed. The bigger problem is Freezing Field. To cancel the channel, Dragon Knight often has to use his melee-range Dragon Tail, forcing him to run directly into the full brunt of the ultimate and making it nearly impossible for him to do his job as a durable frontliner.
