How Alchemist and Kez perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Alchemist and Kez win 38.57% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 223 matches.
A team with both these heroes can feel starved for resources. Alchemist and Kez are both melee cores who want to occupy the safest jungle camps to hit their item timings, creating a direct conflict over farm. Alchemist needs to clear stacks to leverage his Greevil's Greed and afford items for his Chemical Rage window. Meanwhile, Kez requires a similar amount of gold to become an effective duelist who can survive fights. Since neither hero offers much early control to create space, your team is often playing defensively while waiting for two carries to come online, which doesn't always work out.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
