How Kez and Techies perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kez and Techies win 50.72% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 627 matches.
Fighting against this lane often feels like you can pick your battle. Kez is a duelist who wants to find a target, get close, and use his weapon stances to outmaneuver them in a fair fight. On the other hand, Techies wants to control space with mines and have the enemy walk into a prepared trap. The issue is that their plans don't overlap very well. Kez has no reliable way to shove or pull enemies into a minefield, and Techies’ delayed burst damage doesn’t always sync up with the fast-paced duel Kez is trying to win. It often lets you fight them one at a time instead of as a cohesive unit.
