How Dazzle and Dragon Knight perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dazzle and Dragon Knight win 49.23% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,326 matches.
Pushing a tower with Dragon Knight's ultimate often forces a response, and this pair can struggle to convert that pressure into a won fight. Dazzle provides excellent defensive support with Shallow Grave, but Dragon Knight is already durable and can often be kited to death even while invulnerable. The real issue is a lack of offensive synergy. Dazzle offers little to help the slow-moving Dragon Knight stick to his targets or burst them down. While his ultimate does reduce armor, the duo lacks the lockdown or mobility to reliably capitalize on that window. They end up being a durable but low-threat combination that has trouble closing out kills or taking objectives before Dragon Knight's ultimate expires.
