How Dazzle and Omniknight perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dazzle and Omniknight win 51.18% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,401 matches.
Keeping a core alive can become the team's only real plan. Both Dazzle and Omniknight are premier defensive heroes, and running them together creates too much redundancy. One hero might use Shallow Grave to prevent a death while the other is looking for a big Guardian Angel, but both abilities are solving the same problem. This heavy focus on reactive saves often leaves the team short on lockdown or initiation. The laning phase with Dazzle and Omniknight is very survivable but offers almost no kill threat, allowing opponents to play greedily. While your carry will feel safe, the team can struggle to dictate the pace of the game against more aggressive drafts.
