How Chaos Knight and Puck perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chaos Knight and Puck win 49.31% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 217 matches.
Pairing a Puck with a Chaos Knight seems like a straightforward way to set up kills with Dream Coil, but the heroes often operate on different timetables. Puck wants to create constant pressure with early magical burst, while Chaos Knight needs time to farm before Phantasm becomes a teamfight-winning ultimate. Their power spikes simply don't align. When they do connect, Puck's control doesn't prevent a target from using a defensive item to survive the initial Reality Rift. Chaos Knight is then left with his illusions hitting a target that has already escaped, and he offers little protection for a fragile Puck who has used all his spells.
