How Dragon Knight and Riki perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dragon Knight and Riki win 54.33% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 289 matches.
Getting jumped by this duo feels incredibly hard to escape. Riki’s Smoke Screen is a nightmare, silencing you and making it difficult to fight back or use items to get away. Before the cloud even fades, Dragon Knight can follow up with his Dragon Tail, adding a long, reliable stun to the lockdown. This provides the exact kind of setup Riki needs to secure his damage on a target that might otherwise be able to slip away. Dragon Knight is a durable front-liner who can initiate or follow up, creating consistent kill opportunities that help control the map and pressure objectives.
