Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Pugna wins the Kez vs Pugna matchup: Pugna beats Kez in 56.85% of 2,489 ranked matches.
Thinking you can burst a squishy support is the core mistake here. Kez wants to find a target and overwhelm it, but Pugna's kit seems tailor-made to stop that from happening. A single cast of Decrepify makes Kez completely unable to attack his target, wasting his window of aggression. While he's stuck in ghost form, any attempt to use spells to reposition or swap stances gets punished hard by Nether Ward. Pugna can then finish a low-health Kez off with Life Drain from a safe distance. The fundamentals are so opposed that they even conflict on the same team, as Pugna's defensive tools often get in his way.
