How Kez and Primal Beast perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kez and Primal Beast win 41.44% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 222 matches.
Drafting these two cores together can create an awkward game plan. Primal Beast wants to be the one charging in, trampling the enemy team and using Pulverize to lock down a key target. This naturally creates a chaotic, messy brawl where everyone collapses on him. The problem is that Kez is a duelist who thrives on isolating a single opponent to outplay them with his stance swaps and parries. Primal Beast’s style of initiation doesn't create the clean one-on-one fight Kez needs. Instead, Kez often finds himself caught in the chaos or unable to reach a good target, making it hard for either hero to execute their role properly.
