How Dragon Knight and Outworld Destroyer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dragon Knight and Outworld Destroyer win 52.37% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,423 matches.
Drafting both these heroes often means committing to a specific mid-game tempo, but their plans don't always align. Dragon Knight wants to use Elder Dragon Form to become a durable frontline, pushing towers and forcing fights head-on. Around the same timing, Outworld Destroyer comes online but prefers to play around the edges of a fight, using Astral Imprisonment for control and kiting with Arcane Orb. While a Dragon Tail can set up for Outworld Destroyer, they don't really solve each other's problems. Dragon Knight can find himself diving too deep without proper backup, while OD is left vulnerable, making their shared power spike feel less coordinated than it should.
