How Dragon Knight and Marci perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dragon Knight and Marci win 49.04% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,660 matches.
Picking two durable, frontline heroes can feel like a solid plan, but the execution can be awkward. Marci is great at starting a fight with Dispose, setting up a clean stun for Dragon Knight. The problem comes afterwards. Dragon Knight is a slow, methodical tower-pusher who grinds teams down in Elder Dragon Form. Marci is an agile brawler who wants to jump around with Rebound and isolate targets with Unleash. They often end up on different pages, with Marci's mobility leaving the slower DK behind. While they don't actively trip over each other, they don't amplify each other's strengths much either.
