How Dragon Knight and Morphling perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dragon Knight and Morphling win 46.09% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,610 matches.
Running both of these cores creates a map pressure problem. Dragon Knight and Morphling are both very farm-dependent heroes who want to occupy the safest parts of the map, leaving the rest of your team exposed. Dragon Knight wants to group up and push towers with Dragon Form as soon as he has some items, but Morphling usually isn't ready to join those fights yet. By the time Morphling is truly strong, Dragon Knight's own mid-game impact has passed its peak. They simply operate on completely different timetables and don't offer each other much in teamfights, often leading to one hero fighting while the other is still farming.
