How Kez and Timbersaw perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kez and Timbersaw win 35.83% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 254 matches.
Holding a target in place for Kez is a real problem in this lineup. Timbersaw brings a slow at best, which is rarely enough for Kez to stick to a target and execute his full stance-swapping combo. Their preferred fights are also fundamentally different. Timbersaw wants to dive deep, take hits to build Reactive Armor, and cause widespread chaos. Kez is a duelist who wants to find a clean one-on-one on the edge of the fight. This creates a team with two greedy, melee cores who need similar farm but have conflicting goals, leaving your draft without reliable lockdown and vulnerable to being kited.
