Chaos Knight is a melee strength carry with good physical damage output, lockdown, and move speed, but who has fallen foul of being too luck-based and dependent on good hero combos.
Outside of being partnered up with a Wisp/Io, Chaos Knight is essentially never picked competitively and is almost equally unpopular in public matchmaking, where almost every other carry in the game outshines him. That said, when he is partnered up with a Wisp/Io, his ganking potential goes through the roof and the two can easily dominate a game.
