How Jakiro and Kez perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Jakiro and Kez win 42.48% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 5,471 matches.
Setting up a teamfight often feels disjointed for this pair. Jakiro wants to control a large area, layering Macropyre and Ice Path to punish a team that's grouped up and committed. Kez, on the other hand, is a duelist looking to isolate and burst down a single, high-priority hero. His kit is about winning a one-on-one fight, not holding people in place for area-of-effect damage. This means Jakiro's big setup can be wasted if Kez is off chasing a different target, and Kez gets little help from Jakiro's spells in securing his own solo kill.
This fundamental conflict of interest defines their game. In the lane, Jakiro provides some harass but lacks the single-target lockdown that would truly enable Kez to get ahead. Later on, the team with both Jakiro and Kez struggles to find a coherent fight plan. The enemy team can exploit this by either spreading out to nullify Jakiro’s impact and isolate Kez, or by grouping up to run over Jakiro before Kez can find his duel. Each hero is trying to execute a different strategy, and they rarely get to play to their strengths in the same fight.
