How Chaos Knight and Death Prophet perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chaos Knight and Death Prophet win 51.34% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,419 matches.
Stacking Death Prophet's Exorcism on a Chaos Knight Reality Rift sounds strong, but their kits can clash in practice. A common response to Death Prophet is a Ghost Scepter, which also happens to make a hero immune to all of Chaos Knight's physical damage. While the Reality Rift pull still works on an ethereal target, Chaos Knight's illusions and right-clicks will do no damage, forcing Death Prophet to finish the kill alone. Both heroes also want to dictate the tempo with their own long-cooldown ultimates, but they don't really help each other do it. This often results in two separate game plans rather than a single coordinated one.
