How Dragon Knight and Gyrocopter perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dragon Knight and Gyrocopter win 43.00% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 200 matches.
Drafting both Dragon Knight and Gyrocopter for core roles often creates a real pacing problem. Their power spikes are completely mismatched. Gyrocopter wants to be aggressive and fight early with his magic burst, but Dragon Knight needs more time and items to become a durable front-liner. Even when they do come online together, their damage profiles are too similar. Enemies can simply itemize for armor to counter both Gyrocopter’s Flak Cannon and Dragon Knight’s attacks in Elder Dragon Form. They end up competing for the same role in a fight without providing the lockdown or setup needed to truly enable one another.
