How Kunkka and Omniknight perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kunkka and Omniknight win 48.93% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,396 matches.
Keeping Kunkka alive with Omniknight's protection seems like a solid plan, but their strengths don't always line up. The idea is for Heavenly Grace and Guardian Angel to let Kunkka freely swing his Tidebringer without being controlled or bursted. The problem often comes down to the laning stage. As a melee-melee pair, they can get bullied out of the lane and lack the lockdown to secure kills on their own. Later on, while Omniknight can certainly save Kunkka, he doesn't offer any setup to help land a crucial Torrent or Ghostship combo. This forces them into a reactive playstyle, waiting for an opportunity instead of creating one.
