Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dragon Knight wins the Dragon Knight vs Kez matchup: Dragon Knight beats Kez in 53.94% of 241 ranked matches.
Facing down Dragon Knight, Kez often finds his dueling tools are pointed at the wrong target. His parries and counters are meant to win a one-on-one fight, but Dragon Knight isn't looking for one. DK’s plan is simple: stun a target with Dragon Tail, tank damage with his passives, and melt objectives or teamfights with Elder Dragon Form. Kez is built to outplay a single opponent, but he can't outplay the constant area-of-effect damage and siege pressure that Dragon Knight brings. A successful parry might stop one attack, but it doesn't stop the fire-breathing raid boss from walking down a lane with his whole team.
