How Dragon Knight and Tinker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dragon Knight and Tinker win 43.00% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 207 matches.
Grouping up to push during the mid-game reveals the core problem with this duo. Dragon Knight wants to leverage his Elder Dragon Form to force fights and siege towers with his team. This is his strongest timing. Tinker, however, thrives by splitting the map, farming aggressively, and forcing enemy rotations. He has no interest in sitting on a tower. This conflict in pacing means Dragon Knight is often frontlining for a team that's missing its main damage source. Tinker is simply not there to follow up on a stun, leaving Dragon Knight to take all the pressure without the necessary backup to win the fight.
