Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.

Dueling Magnus might seem like a good idea for a hero like Kez, but his parry-based kit often feels ineffective. The main issue is that Magnus doesn't need to win a direct trade. Skewer isn't a spell you can deflect for value; it simply drags Kez out of position for Magnus's allies to collapse on. Trying to time a parry against it is mostly a waste of effort. The real problem later on is Reverse Polarity. It’s a large, instant area-of-effect stun that Kez has no way to block or dodge if he gets caught. This completely bypasses his dueling strengths, leaving him helpless while the enemy team focuses him down.
How the matchup shifts across skill brackets — Kez's win rate against Magnus in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted.
