How Batrider and Chaos Knight perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Batrider and Chaos Knight win 42.81% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 661 matches.
Setting up a kill with Flaming Lasso sounds effective, but the execution with Chaos Knight can feel redundant. Chaos Knight is already self-sufficient at isolating a target, using Reality Rift to close the gap and Chaos Bolt to stun them. He doesn't typically need the long-duration pull from Batrider to secure a kill, making the combination of ultimates feel like overkill. All Batrider really adds is a longer disable. Since Sticky Napalm only amplifies Batrider's own damage, it offers no benefit to Chaos Knight or his Phantasm illusions. You end up with two heroes focused on bursting a single person, which can work, but their kits don't truly build off each other.

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.
