How Chaos Knight and Kez perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chaos Knight and Kez win 45.48% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,093 matches.
Finding farm for two physical carries can stretch a team's map control thin. Chaos Knight and Kez both want to be the primary damage dealer, often looking for similar items and timings to come online. This heavy overlap means they don't really offer each other much support. Kez is a duelist who wants to pick his own fights, while Chaos Knight wants to pull a specific enemy in and burst them with illusions. It can feel like they're playing separate games on the same team, as one hero's big cooldowns don't necessarily create a better opportunity for the other. The lineup can end up with too much of one kind of damage and not enough of something else.
