How Kez and Rubick perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kez and Rubick win 47.00% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,302 matches.
Facing down Kez in a one-on-one is always a risk, but opponents aren't particularly worried when his backup is Rubick. The core problem is a mismatch in game plan. Kez wants to find an isolated target, leveraging his stance-swapping and parries to win a duel. Rubick, on the other hand, excels by turning chaotic teamfights around with a stolen ultimate. He offers very little to Kez’s single-target approach. Worse, Rubick is a fragile laner who can't effectively trade hits or create space for a melee carry to farm safely. This duo often leaves Kez without the protection he needs early and Rubick without the brawls he needs late.
