How Death Prophet and Dragon Knight perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Death Prophet and Dragon Knight win 48.57% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,962 matches.
Facing down a Dragon Knight and Death Prophet can feel overwhelming, but both heroes want to do the same job. They are both durable frontliners who want to group up and siege towers as soon as their ultimates are ready. This overlap means the lineup can end up short on the burst damage or wide-area lockdown needed to kill priority targets. An enemy team that can weather the initial assault from Exorcism and Elder Dragon Form may find the pair lacks the tools to finish off key heroes in a chaotic fight. Their combined push is powerful, but it can be predictable and difficult to execute without another source of initiation or damage.
