Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chaos Knight wins the Chaos Knight vs Kez matchup: Chaos Knight beats Kez in 58.16% of 2,751 ranked matches.
Picking Kez into a Chaos Knight is a risky choice, and the heroes are even worse when played together. Kez is built to be a duelist, using his stance-swapping and parries to outplay a single opponent in a controlled fight. This entire playstyle collapses against Chaos Knight. There is no controlled duel to be had. Once Phantasm is active, Kez's single-target defensive tools are overwhelmed by multiple strong illusions. Trying to parry one attack is pointless when three other Chaos Knights are hitting you. Chaos Knight simply doesn't care about a fair fight; he brings his army with Reality Rift and buries single-target specialists like Kez.
