How Drow Ranger and Kez perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Drow Ranger and Kez win 42.32% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 4,218 matches.
Having two agility cores that both want to be the primary damage source can put a lot of strain on your team's map and economy. Drow Ranger's Precision Aura encourages her team to group up and hit objectives as soon as she has a few levels. Kez, on the other hand, is a melee duelist who often needs more time and space to farm key items before he can effectively join five-on-five fights. His strength is in isolating and outplaying single targets, which often means he wants to be somewhere else on the map than where Drow is trying to force a fight.
This tension in their preferred game plans can leave the team feeling disjointed. If the team groups to play around Drow's timing, Kez can feel underfarmed and less impactful in those crucial mid-game engagements. If the team instead plays a slower game to give Kez space, Drow's window to dominate the map with her aura can close. This lineup often relies on one of the two cores having an exceptionally good start to create enough space for the other, which is not always a consistent way to win.
