How Kunkka and Ringmaster perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kunkka and Ringmaster win 47.25% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,234 matches.
Grouping enemies with Ringmaster’s crowd control feels like it should create the perfect setup for a massive Kunkka combo. The problem is that both heroes rely on delayed spells. It’s very tricky to coordinate the end of Ringmaster's pull with the exact landing time of a Torrent or Ghostship. A slight miscommunication or poor timing often means the stun lands too early or the boat hits after enemies have already been released and started to scatter. While both heroes have useful tools for fights, their main abilities can overlap awkwardly instead of chaining together cleanly, making their combined impact less consistent than it appears.
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.
