How Underlord and Dragon Knight perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Underlord and Dragon Knight win 49.58% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,023 matches.
Putting two durable frontliners together seems like a solid plan, but Underlord and Dragon Knight can end up competing for the same job. They are both excellent at absorbing pressure and pushing towers, yet the pair can lack the combined damage to finish off key targets quickly. A fight might start well with a Pit of Malice, but if the enemy has escapes, this duo can struggle to confirm kills. Dragon Knight doesn't particularly need Fiend's Gate to initiate, and Underlord would often rather bring a more explosive hero along for a gank. They don't clash, but their similar playstyles and timings can create a draft that feels a bit one-dimensional.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
