Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dragon Knight wins the Dragon Knight vs Timbersaw matchup: Dragon Knight beats Timbersaw in 59.94% of 337 ranked matches.
Laning against a Timbersaw is often a nightmare, but Dragon Knight has the right tools for the job. Dragon Blood’s passive regeneration makes him tough to bully out with stray Whirling Deaths, letting him sustain and secure farm. In return, Dragon Knight’s damage from Dragon Breath is magical, so it completely ignores the Reactive Armor Timbersaw relies on to get tough. This dynamic gets even worse for Timbersaw as the game goes on. Elder Dragon Form lets Dragon Knight apply a constant magic damage-over-time effect from range, and a long-distance Dragon Tail is the perfect lockdown to stop Timbersaw from chaining away and allow the team to focus him down.
