Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Witch Doctor wins the Kez vs Witch Doctor matchup: Witch Doctor beats Kez in 58.09% of 1,119 ranked matches.
Thinking you can isolate and duel Witch Doctor is a common mistake for a Kez player. His entire kit is built to punish a single hero diving the back line. Paralyzing Cask bounces will hold Kez in place, and landing Maledict means he is likely dead even if he wins the initial exchange or tries to escape. Kez is good at deflecting one big hit or spell with his parry, but he can't stop the sustained damage from Maledict ticking away or a full Death Ward. Witch Doctor completely shuts down Kez's ideal fight pattern, preventing him from isolating a target and making him a liability if he tries to go in alone.
