How Chaos Knight and Dragon Knight perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chaos Knight and Dragon Knight win 52.45% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,630 matches.
You might think two durable heroes with stuns would automatically dominate, but their kits can be a bit redundant. On paper, it's a solid lockdown chain: Dragon Knight provides the reliable Dragon Tail to initiate, which sets up a clean Reality Rift for Chaos Knight to follow up with his own stun. This makes them great at picking off a key target. The main issue is that both heroes want to fill a similar role. They offer a ton of single-target physical damage but can be weak to lineups that either kite well or have strong area-of-effect spells. It creates a very tough front line, but one with clear and exploitable weaknesses.
