Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dragon Knight wins the Dragon Knight vs Tinker matchup: Dragon Knight beats Tinker in 51.76% of 255 ranked matches.
You might think Tinker could easily kite a slow hero like Dragon Knight, but the matchup flips completely once DK gets his ultimate. With Elder Dragon Form, Dragon Tail becomes a ranged, instant stun. This is a huge problem for Tinker, who relies on blinking into trees and staying at the edge of fights. A patient Dragon Knight can wait for Tinker to appear, lock him down from a distance, and let the team secure the kill. Even if Tinker gets the jump, he struggles to burst through DK’s passive tankiness. Dragon Knight can also simply walk at towers with his team, absorbing spam and forcing Tinker into bad positions to defend.
