How Kez and Tinker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kez and Tinker win 37.46% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 315 matches.
Farming the entire map with Rearm and Boots of Travel creates a huge internal conflict over resources. Tinker naturally absorbs waves and jungle camps from every lane, leaving a carry like Kez with very few safe places to build up his own items. This forces Kez to either take dangerous risks for farm or simply fall behind. The lineup also lacks a clear way to set up kills. As a duelist, Kez excels when he can isolate and fight a target, but Tinker provides no reliable lockdown from the back lines. Both heroes demand immense resources and space to come online, and a team can rarely afford to support two such greedy cores.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
