Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lycan wins the Kez vs Lycan matchup: Lycan beats Kez in 52.94% of 1,088 ranked matches.
Thinking Kez can win a straight duel against Lycan is a common mistake. On paper, a hero with strong counters and parries seems well-equipped for the job. The reality is that you are never fighting Lycan alone. His wolves and other summons create a body-blocking, high-damage swarm that Kez’s single-target defenses can’t manage. You might successfully parry a big hit from Lycan, but his pack is still chewing through your health bar. When Lycan uses Shapeshift, his extreme speed makes it very difficult for Kez to control the engagement or escape if things go south, tilting the otherwise close fight slightly in Lycan's favor.
