How Arc Warden and Kez perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Arc Warden and Kez win 46.31% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,967 matches.
Fights in the mid-game often feel disjointed for this pair. Kez, as a melee duelist, wants to find a target and commit, but he relies on his team to create an opening. Arc Warden plays a completely different game, preferring to poke from a distance with Spark Wraiths or split-push with his Tempest Double. This can leave Kez without the lockdown or frontline presence he needs to engage safely. While Magnetic Field offers some protection, it forces Kez to fight in one specific spot, which often conflicts with the needs of a mobile carry. The lineup ends up with two self-sufficient cores who simply don't enable each other, leading to awkward engagements.
