Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Lion wins the Kez vs Lion matchup: Lion beats Kez in 54.10% of 46,545 ranked matches.
Getting onto a target as Kez is a huge risk when Lion is on the other team. All of your dueling tools, like stance-swapping and parries, are useless if you get hit by an Earth Spike or Hex from range. Lion can hold you in place for a long time, making it easy for his team to follow up and kill you before you can react. Since you need to close the distance to be effective, this point-and-click control completely shuts down your game plan. Even if you survive the initial lockdown, a single Finger of Death is often enough to finish you off, and there’s no way for Kez to parry that kind of damage.
How the matchup shifts across skill brackets — Kez's win rate against Lion 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.
