How Kez and Puck perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kez and Puck win 32.70% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 159 matches.
Struggling for map control is common with this pairing, often leading to both cores falling behind. Puck wants to create teamfight opportunities by locking multiple enemies down with Dream Coil, but Kez simply isn't the right hero to follow up. As a duelist, Kez is at his best when he can isolate a single target, using his stance-swapping and parry mechanics to win a one-on-one fight. He lacks the area damage to capitalize on the chaos Puck creates. This leaves your team with two heroes who excel at finding pick-offs but have no way to convert a big initiation into a decisive teamfight victory, letting the enemy recover too easily.
