How Invoker and Kez perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Invoker and Kez win 42.48% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,024 matches.
Putting Kez and Invoker on the same team often creates a draft with a conflicted identity. A carry like Kez thrives on finding his own tempo, using his stance changes and parries to out-maneuver and kill a single opponent in a duel. His kit is built to win a solo engagement. Invoker, meanwhile, is looking for a completely different kind of fight. He shines brightest when he can layer his powerful spells like Deafening Blast or Cataclysm over wide area-of-effect stuns. Kez doesn't provide that kind of teamfight setup, which leaves Invoker without the control he needs to land his signature combos.
