Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Riki wins the Kez vs Riki matchup: Riki beats Kez in 57.22% of 12,057 ranked matches.
Getting jumped by Riki is a nightmare for Kez. The whole dueling kit, built around parrying and reacting to attacks, falls apart against an enemy who starts the fight from invisibility. Riki's Smoke Screen is the real problem; it silences Kez, preventing him from swapping stances or using his defensive tools, all while making his own attacks miss. Even if Kez survives the initial burst, Riki can slip away unseen, leaving no target to counter-attack. Kez wants to fight on his own terms, but Riki dictates every part of the engagement, usually before Kez can even react.
How the matchup shifts across skill brackets — Kez's win rate against Riki in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted.
