How Kez and Silencer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kez and Silencer win 45.33% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 717 matches.
Assuming Global Silence is the perfect setup for any carry can be a mistake when playing with Kez. As a duelist, Kez wants to isolate a single target and win a sustained fight using his parries and weapon stances. While Silencer’s teamfight-wide silence helps him close the gap initially, it doesn’t provide the specific, single-target lockdown he needs to stick to his prey. Kez's very focused approach to combat doesn't fully capitalize on the broad disruption Silencer provides. They can feel like they're playing two separate games in the same teamfight, rather than working as a cohesive unit.
