How Death Prophet and Kez perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Death Prophet and Kez win 41.92% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 198 matches.
Grouping up for an Exorcism push puts Kez in an awkward position. Death Prophet hits a huge power spike with her ultimate and wants to force objectives immediately, but Kez is a melee carry who needs time to farm key items before he can contribute effectively in a five-on-five brawl. This core conflict in timing means the team is pulled in two directions. Either Kez is forced to fight before he's ready, or Death Prophet's strongest window is spent waiting. Their game plans are fundamentally at odds, with one hero wanting to accelerate the pace and the other needing to slow it down.
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.
