Dragon Knight Counters (7.41f)
Who counters Dragon Knight in Dota 2 7.41f? The heroes Dragon Knight beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Dragon Knight is a tanky carry/initiator whose Elder Dragon Form gives him range and splash, Dragon Tail stuns, and Dragon Blood keeps him near-unkillable mid-game. He's strong into immobile heroes he can stun and out-tank: Nature's Prophet, Timbersaw and Puck get caught and ground down. DK is countered by late-game scalers and sustain that out-last his mid-game spike: Spectre, Necrophos and Wraith King overtake him in the late game, while Witch Doctor and Lich win the early trades. Draft tip: DK is a strong tempo/tower-pusher into squishy drafts; close the game on his mid-game timing before Spectre/WK-style carries out-scale him.
In Dota 2 7.41f, the heroes that counter Dragon Knight hardest are Outworld Destroyer, Spectre and Wraith King — Dragon Knight wins only 46.8%, 47.1% and 47.4% of ranked matches against them.
