How Chaos Knight and Treant Protector perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chaos Knight and Treant Protector win 50.65% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,144 matches.
Thinking about Treant Protector's Overgrowth as a perfect setup for Chaos Knight is a common trap. It's a decent lockdown, but because it's only a root, opponents can still use defensive items and spells to survive the initial Phantasm burst. The real, if subtle, strength of this pair comes from other abilities. Living Armor makes Chaos Knight’s illusions surprisingly durable, which means more overall damage during a fight. Leech Seed adds another layer of slow on top of Reality Rift, making it very hard for a single target to escape. The whole plan is very direct, and if the enemy team has multiple saves or can simply kite the illusions, this duo doesn't have a backup plan.
