How Beastmaster and Dragon Knight perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Beastmaster and Dragon Knight win 49.05% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 5,764 matches.
Putting Beastmaster and Dragon Knight together feels like an obvious plan to knock down towers early. In practice, they end up wanting to do the same job at the same time, which creates problems. Both heroes are frontliners who need their ultimates to be effective, and they both hit a peak in the mid-game. The combined lockdown from Primal Roar and Dragon Tail isn't usually enough to make up for the team's overall lack of damage. Enemies can often disengage, wait out Elder Dragon Form, and then clean up the low-damage cores. This duo creates a lineup that can look strong for a few minutes but struggles to secure kills and ultimately gets out-scaled.
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.
