Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Primal Beast wins the Kez vs Primal Beast matchup: Primal Beast beats Kez in 52.11% of 6,856 ranked matches.
Picking a duelist like Kez into a lineup with Primal Beast can feel uncomfortable. Kez is designed to outplay single targets and react to specific attacks with his stances and parries. Primal Beast sidesteps that entire game plan by covering the ground in constant area damage with Trample, making it difficult for Kez to find clean footing for a fight. Even if a duel starts, Pulverize provides a long, reliable lockdown that can hold Kez in place to be bursted. The fundamental mismatch in how they want a fight to unfold is likely why they also tend to perform poorly when allied.
