How Chaos Knight and Weaver perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chaos Knight and Weaver win 51.16% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,626 matches.
Seeing a Weaver and Chaos Knight show up on the map feels like a lot of physical damage is coming your way. Weaver can use Shukuchi to scout and apply The Swarm, setting up for a Chaos Knight to Reality Rift in for a kill. In theory, this provides a ton of single-target burst that can melt a hero before they can react. Both heroes are also highly mobile and hard to pin down, creating a constant threat of being picked off if you're out of position. The initial gank potential can look scary.
The problem is that this duo doesn't have much cohesion beyond that initial burst. Both heroes want to be the primary physical damage core, and they can end up competing for farm to hit their timings. Neither one provides the reliable lockdown or teamfight control the other needs to truly excel. A Chaos Knight wants a setup stun to guarantee he can connect, and Weaver simply doesn't offer that. The result is often two cores trying to do the same job, leaving the team vulnerable to coordinated pushes or heavy magic damage that can clear Phantasm illusions and burst Weaver.
