How Dragon Knight and Ogre Magi perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dragon Knight and Ogre Magi win 52.97% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 925 matches.
Casting Bloodlust on Dragon Knight provides the attack and movement speed he needs to stick to targets and be a real threat, especially in Elder Dragon Form. Adding Ogre Magi's own stun and slow on top of Dragon Tail creates a very straightforward and effective ganking pair. The lane is strong, and you can secure kills on anyone you catch out. The main issue is that this duo doesn't really cover each other's weaknesses. Dragon Knight still farms slowly and can be kited, and Ogre doesn't add much utility beyond "run at them faster". It’s a solid, predictable combination that relies on snowballing from early kills.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
