How Broodmother and Dragon Knight perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Broodmother and Dragon Knight win 47.83% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 759 matches.
Pairing up two strong tower-pushers seems smart, but the reality is they want to play entirely different games. Broodmother thrives on creating chaos by herself, taking over a lane with webs and spiders to draw enemies away from objectives. Dragon Knight wants to do the exact opposite; he groups with the team for a slow, five-man push when his Dragon Form is ready. This basic conflict in strategy pulls the team in two directions. Instead of working together, they often leave each other playing at a pace that doesn't suit their kits, making it hard for either hero to execute their game plan.
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.
