How Chaos Knight and Storm Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chaos Knight and Storm Spirit win 40.35% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 404 matches.
Running both of these heroes on one team creates a difficult question of who is actually setting up the kill. Chaos Knight and Storm Spirit are both single-target hunters who want to be the one to find and burst an enemy. The problem is their kits don't combine well to achieve this. Storm Spirit's high-speed initiations with Ball Lightning often leave the slower Chaos Knight behind. When CK does manage to land a Chaos Bolt and Reality Rift, Storm is often already looking for his own angle of attack. They end up as two solo artists on the same stage, lacking the area control or wave clear needed to play the map together.
