How Batrider and Kez perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Batrider and Kez win 38.70% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 814 matches.
Facing down this pair often feels less threatening than it should. When Batrider lands a Flaming Lasso, the goal is a quick, isolated kill. The problem is that Kez, as a melee hero, struggles to contribute effectively during the drag. He has to chase after the moving target, often arriving too late to apply his full damage before the disable ends. A better partner can instantly unload spells from a distance. Both Batrider and Kez want to control a single opponent, but their approaches conflict; one pulls the enemy away while the other needs to be right on top of them. This fundamental timing clash makes it difficult to convert Batrider's initiations into kills.
