How Beastmaster and Chaos Knight perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Beastmaster and Chaos Knight win 47.87% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 188 matches.
Drafting both heroes puts your team in a tricky spot. Beastmaster and Chaos Knight both want to do the same job: run at one hero and overwhelm them with summons and illusions. A Primal Roar followed by a Reality Rift is more than enough lockdown to delete a single target, especially with the attack speed from Inner Beast. The problem is that this leaves your entire strategy vulnerable to a few armor items or a Ghost Scepter. You end up with too much single-target physical damage and not enough magical burst or area control to handle a full teamfight, making it easy for the enemy to split you up and react.
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.
