How Dark Seer and Kez perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Seer and Kez win 44.58% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 249 matches.
Drafting these two heroes together creates a fundamental tension in how your team wants to fight. Dark Seer thrives on chaos, using Ion Shell and Surge to make an ally run around spreading damage everywhere. He wants the enemy team clumped and confused. Kez, however, is a duelist who wants to isolate a single target and outmaneuver them with his parries and stance swaps. The area damage and disruption from Dark Seer can make it harder for Kez to find a clean one-on-one engagement. While a Surge can get him into position, their core ideas of what a good teamfight looks like are at odds, leading to awkward and ineffective engagements.
