Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Dragon Knight wins the Dragon Knight vs Keeper of the Light matchup: Dragon Knight beats Keeper of the Light in 52.32% of 23,197 ranked matches.
Pushing towers with Dragon Knight can feel sluggish when Keeper of the Light is on the other team. KotL's Illuminate constantly shoves lanes out from a safe distance, which often means DK's pushes fizzle out before they even reach a tower. This slows his tempo and makes it harder to create space for his team. In fights, Blinding Light can repeatedly knock Dragon Knight back, preventing him from getting on top of key targets. While a good initiation with Dragon Tail can delete the frail Keeper of the Light, KotL's kit is fundamentally geared towards stalling the kind of straightforward gameplan that Dragon Knight wants to execute.
