How Kunkka and Pangolier perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kunkka and Pangolier win 46.08% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,276 matches.
Struggling for farm on the same side of the map often defines this pairing. Both Pangolier and Kunkka are active mid-game cores who want to clear creep waves and jungle camps to hit their item timings. With one hero using Tidebringer and the other using Swashbuckle, they directly compete for resources and slow each other down. This problem extends to teamfights, where their abilities can actively conflict. The chaos from a Rolling Thunder, bouncing enemies around the fight, makes it incredibly difficult for Kunkka to land a clean Ghostship and Torrent combination on key targets. The two heroes simply want to control fights in opposite ways.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
