How Kez and Queen of Pain perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kez and Queen of Pain win 43.41% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 417 matches.
Drafting both Kez and Queen of Pain for your core lineup puts immense pressure on your supports to provide all the lockdown. Queen of Pain wants to Blink in and unload her magic burst, while Kez is a duelist looking to isolate and dispatch a single target. The problem is that neither hero offers the other any real setup. QoP's slow is not enough to hold an enemy in place for a melee carry, and Kez has no way to guarantee his target gets hit by a Sonic Wave. They end up playing separate games on the same map, both demanding resources and attention without directly enabling each other to secure kills.
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. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
