How Kez and Omniknight perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kez and Omniknight win 46.86% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,622 matches.
Picking an Omniknight to support Kez often means over-investing in defense when you might need something else. Kez is already a capable duelist with his own parry and counter-attack mechanics, allowing him to survive many engagements by himself. While an extra save from Guardian Angel is never bad, it's a bit redundant. This duo also lacks a clear way to start fights. Omniknight doesn't offer the lockdown that Kez needs to get on top of mobile enemy heroes and stick to them. The pairing feels very safe, but it can struggle to create its own offensive opportunities, leading to a passive game plan that cedes control to the opponent.
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.
