How Dragon Knight and Kez perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dragon Knight and Kez win 46.67% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,607 matches.
Struggling for map control and farm is a common outcome for this duo. Both Dragon Knight and Kez are melee cores who need significant resources, often forcing them to compete for the same farming zones and slowing each other down. When fights break out, their plans don't align well. Dragon Knight wants to group up, use Dragon Form to become a durable tower-sieging frontline, and fight with his team. Kez, by contrast, is a duelist who excels at isolating a single enemy and outplaying them with his stance changes. The team gets pulled in two different directions, trying to push with one hero while setting up a pick-off for the other.
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.
