How Kez and Wraith King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kez and Wraith King win 50.78% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 642 matches.
Trying to decide who to focus first is the main problem here. Wraith King demands attention with his stun and frontline presence, but you know you'll have to kill him twice. While your team is busy dealing with Reincarnation, Kez is free to isolate a target and use his dueling kit to win a one-on-one. Blowing your big spells on Kez is also risky, as a well-timed parry can turn a gank around, leaving Wraith King to clean up. It forces the enemy to split their cooldowns inefficiently.
Grouping up after the laning stage is where the pair starts to cause problems. Wraith King provides a reliable, hard-to-kill frontline that gives a slippery hero like Kez the cover he needs to operate. Instead of being the primary target, Kez can wait for the fight to get messy around Reincarnation before committing. For the enemy, the only real answer is to try and catch one of them out of position. If they can force fights together, the enemy team often finds their resources stretched too thin to handle both threats at once.
