How Dragon Knight and Terrorblade perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dragon Knight and Terrorblade win 47.48% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,190 matches.
Pairing a frontline Dragon Knight with a hard-carrying Terrorblade seems like a classic setup, but it falls apart in practice. Both heroes have a similar plan: get their key items and levels, then group up to take objectives in the mid-game. This creates a fight for farm on the map, as both cores are greedy and need resources to hit their power spikes. The bigger problem is that their damage is almost entirely physical. An enemy team can stack armor and be effective against both of you. While Dragon Knight's Dragon Tail provides a stun, it’s a single-target lockdown that often isn’t enough to save Terrorblade from a coordinated gank.
