How Dragon Knight and Weaver perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dragon Knight and Weaver win 47.07% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,429 matches.
Trying to burst an enemy during a Dragon Tail stun often feels ineffective. Dragon Knight provides the lockdown, but Weaver's damage is sustained, not immediate. He needs time for The Swarm to attach and reduce armor, and his right-clicks take a while to add up, even with Geminate Attack. The single-target control from Dragon Knight is long, but without a heavy source of magical or physical burst to follow it, the target frequently survives the initial disable and escapes. This makes for a pretty weak ganking duo in the early and mid-game.
This fundamental mismatch extends to their overall game plan. Dragon Knight wants to force the issue, grouping with his team to push down towers whenever Elder Dragon Form is available. He creates a solid frontline and expects his team to play behind him. Weaver, on the other hand, excels at splitting the map. His kit, with Shukuchi and Time Lapse, is built for solo survival and picking off stragglers, not for five-man siege warfare. The team is forced to either play around Weaver’s greedier timing, wasting DK’s mid-game strength, or group for DK and leave Weaver in an awkward, less impactful role.
