How Faceless Void and Kez perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Faceless Void and Kez win 44.43% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,392 matches.
Trapping multiple enemies in Chronosphere is the goal, but Kez's contribution can feel awkward. As a melee hero, he first needs to get inside the sphere to deal damage. Once there, his kit's reactive and dueling aspects, like his parry, are mostly wasted on frozen targets. He’s relegated to being a straightforward right-clicker, which doesn't leverage his full potential. This means Kez can't always capitalize on the setup as effectively as a hero with ranged burst or area-of-effect damage might.
This lineup also struggles with its overall game plan and farm distribution. Both Faceless Void and Kez are greedy cores who need significant resources and items to be effective, which can starve the rest of the team and slow down their own timings. The strategy often becomes one-dimensional, revolving entirely around landing a perfect Chronosphere. If that single ultimate is on cooldown or catches the wrong targets, the team has very few other tools to control a teamfight or secure objectives, making their path to victory feel quite narrow.
