How Dazzle and Kunkka perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dazzle and Kunkka win 50.14% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,796 matches.
Saving a low-health Kunkka with Shallow Grave allows for some extra Tidebringer cleaves, but the two heroes often have conflicting ideas about how a fight should go. Kunkka wants to set up kills from a distance with X Marks the Spot and Torrent, then retreat. He isn't the typical front-line tank that Dazzle excels at enabling. If Kunkka gets caught and needs the save, it often means his own escape tools have failed and the fight is already turning against your team. Dazzle prefers longer, scrappier brawls to get full value from his cooldowns, whereas Kunkka's impact is tied to landing a specific combo, making their overall effectiveness together feel fairly average.
