Kez Counters (7.41f)
Who counters Kez in Dota 2 7.41f? The heroes Kez beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Kez is a mobile dual-stance carry who swaps between ranged Sai harassment and melee Katana burst, darting in and out with high mobility. He's strong into immobile, low-escape heroes he can dance around: Nature's Prophet, Mars and Shadow Demon can't pin his stance-dashing. Kez is countered by tanks and lockdown that catch him mid-combo: Wraith King out-tanks, Necrophos out-sustains, and Troll Warlord or Tidehunter lock him down or out-trade. Draft tip: Kez is a slippery skirmish carry into squishy, low-control drafts; he's weaker into hard-lockdown and tanky hard-carries that survive his burst windows.
In Dota 2 7.41f, the heroes that counter Kez hardest are Wraith King, Legion Commander and Vengeful Spirit — Kez wins only 39.5%, 40.5% and 40.7% of ranked matches against them.
